"Well, there's a bunch of different double-blades out there, all sounding quite different. I don't think that this particular design itself dictates any specific tone. Ever tried SD blades? They sound nothing like Bardens! "

I was responding to something someone else said. I was referring to the tweaking of the Joe Barden pickups, but since the other guy said early JB's had a single blade, I clarified that I was referring to Joe Barden's double blade design. The interview with Gatton about it is on youtube. Yes, not all double blades sound the same just as not all alnico rod single coils sound the same, etc. etc.
