Is there something in the type of wire, the bobbins, magnets, winds etc that makes the pickup "pickup" deeper notes better, or is it just the sound it produces?
I've played a couple of Bass VI type guitars and they are really mushy on the low E and A, and the even the D ain't that flash..to my ear, you have a 6 string guitar with 3 usable strings. A Bass VI is a long-scale guitar, using guitar pickups strung with Bass gauge strings. I want to know if I switch out the middle pickup for a bass pickup, like a Joe Barden with double blades (so string spacing isn't an issue), if I can improve the overall response of the low-end of the guitar? I generally play it through a Bass amp already and the performance is still lacking.
