IMO yeah when tapped, other will disagree, IMO the higher DC pups allow for a better single coil sound , most Fender pups ,vintage spec approx. are in and around 6K . So if you tap into a HB which has balanced coils and puts out vintage approx. 7.6-8. you are only getting a 4K single which IMO is weak sounding. Never liked coil taps on lower output HBs weak sounding IMO and tooo much difference in out put using live.
