Aero vs Lakland single coil pickups

I always wanted to compare the new Lakland single coil pickups to the Aero that used to be standard in the Lakland Darryl Jones bass.

Here's the result:

I recommend to download all the clips and put them in a playlist (in Windows Media player for example) in order to hear the differences between them.

Honestly, to me, they sound extremely close to each other...

The bass:

• Lakland DJ4; 2007, rosewood fingerboard. Strings are S.I.T Power Steel.

The cable:

• Bayou: 12', canare GS-6 cable, neutrik connectors.
