Installed a .22 Jensen in the the neck and the bridge but not at the same time......
.....more mids with the Jensens. Even more round and less edge than the Tigers. There was a cut and edge to the Tigers that the Jensens took away.
I played clean and dirty. I play 5w class A amp so it has a nice edgy tone anyway. I played each cap for a few hours, walked away and played it again before the next change.
I described in another thread that the Jensen was too polite and took away some of the rudeness of the Tiger. I admit there were some things about the tones from the fake Bees I liked too.
I could see a Jensen in the bridge and a Tiger in the neck. That could work to tame a too bright bridge pickup.
The guitar now has Grey Tigers in both positions. Remember this was with P90s.
Everything matters. I've now tried enough stuff that in some ways when "warm" could mean dull, now cut, no edge. Warm may not be good. It worked hear. I prefer the sound of the Tigers in my P90 guitar.
RS Grey Tigers and Bees are the same inside, so same tone.
Hope that helps.
