Seems I've missed a lot since the days I was really active on this forum.
I'm a bit broken-hearted to learn that the Villex pickups aren't available on Railboards anymore; I'm absolutely in love with mine and I would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone.
So...does anyone have any comparison notes between the Villex and the EMG pickups? What's different in the tone? What's similar? And, heaven forbid my Villex ever need replacement, will the EMG's fit into the R-Block the same? Looking at photos on Stick.com it looks like there would be no problem, but looks of course can be deceiving.
I would say the EMG is a little "fuller" in the mids, and R-Block a little "heavier" in the bass.
The modules are exactly the same size and can be easily interchanged.
