I guess I'm wondering if the loss is so minimal that I might as well go with the Kingpin? At age 62 my ears aren't the greatest. I know I would not be in a position to do a personal side by side demo.

What say you?
Although I never noticed the difference in tone, I once went the 5th Ave - aftermarket install route. But the Godin was used and inexpensive, so it was probably more cost effective than to buy a Kingpin. Not to mention the (floating) pickup was of higher quality than the P90 that came from Godin. I also liked the way my guy positioned the pots.
