I thought Abraxas and Crawler were hotter than the VHII?

When you say 'hotness' do you mean output?

That's interesting, I thought the VHII was hotter than the Black Dog.

The VH2 sounds hotter, guess it's down to the extra harmonic detail.

Don't forget though that DC res is only a guide to output and only of any real relevance if the pickups are all wound with the same wire.
Sometimes a low output pickup will sound louder than one wound hotter with finer wire as the hotter one compresses more and has less highs.

Hmmm, might have to go for an Abraxas then... confused now!

In performance, no and they're wound with different gauge wire too, also different magnets.the Miracle Man takes some beating in the power stakes.
