Not quite that simple.
MKII's are, allegedly, Alnico V magnets and the MKIV's are ceramics.
Not sure about wire used or winds but the ones I've had seem to come in between 8-10 dc resistance depending.
Sound wise the II's are better, but still a tad lifeless to me.
Th IV's can be improved greatly by swapping in an A5 mag.
There are people on here who quite dig the sound from the II's but I've not heard anything good said about the IV's.
In general if you can afford a new MIK of MIC then you'll probably be able to score a second hand MIJ, which are much, much better in all departments. |
