So good luck with the battle
Ha! I've waved the white flag on the battle!

I believe that someone with better EQ skills than I have might be able to fix the quack. But I was never able to... I tried the Mesa Rosette, which has a lot of control. But nothing I did seemed to matter. I could take the highs out, boost the bass, and the quack was lessened -- but at the expense of the nice treble that my guitar has by nature.

You may be able to do it. But, I was not able to.

The Empress Para EQ is somewhat cheaper at about $249. But, it still seems like a lot of work just to get the pickup sounding right, at least to me...
