Quick Comparisons: PRS Vintage Bass & HFS vs 85/15 Pickups

This is a very basic comparison of 2 PRS CE24s that I currently have. One is a 98 in black with the typical vintage bass and HFS pickups, and the 5 way rotary switch. The other is a newer CE 24 in frost blue metallic with the 85/15 pickups. Not super scientific, the body and neck woods are the same, pickups and hardware are different.

The older CE 24 has only the 5 tones via the rotary. The newer CE24 offers a total of 6 sounds which I include at the end of every comparison.

I'm using the same stock clean and dirty presets from Archetype Nolly (which i'm still tweaking..) all throughout. I play very simple chords, no tasteful playing whatsoever!
