It's not just the pickups - it's also the (lack of) attack on the
instrument, and, from a rhythm guitar standpoint, the way the intrument
lends itself to a diads and sparser chord voicings and arpegiation, instead
of dan-dan-daann-chugga-chug-chugga-chugga-chugga style of play. Mores the
pity :<

Will someone hurry up and prove me wrong on this one? The inability to play
anything loud apart from basslines is my biggest niggle with the
instrument...
