Love them. They were such a clear winner when I was pickup shopping (I went with the Model P).

Relentless is simply awesome, though I’m surprised for a pickup that’s designed to be positioned right next to strings they are hot and powerful.

I wouldn’t say they’re “hot” at all. But (and I apologize if I have this wrong) because they indeed DO have a really comfortable curved body that naturally allows them to be close to the strings, I think that is what makes them able to sound so clear/strong.
Folks that know more about the science can weigh in, but I was always under the impression that the closer the pickups are to the strings, the more powerful the output and vice versa.

Part of it is that they are ceramic; ceramic magnets are generally stronger than alnico, and they are generally hotter/louder.
Ceramics are also more naturally compressed sounding than alnico, which brings up the body of the tone a lot.
I really like ceramic pickups myself.

Passive Relentless are about as hot as the active pickup. Great tone.

Quick crosspost from another thread Project Basses - #2479 by paolo.pfm
Could you measure the position of the pick-ups on a short or medium scale with P or PJ configuration you own? It’s not urgent, but it would be really helpful.
For example: model, scale length, and distance from the bridge (or the nut, as more convenient) to the center of the J or between the split coil.
It doesn’t need to be extremely accurate, at least to be in the right ballpark…
Or is there any meaningful online resource I missed?

Ok it’s a few weeks away from finish, finally. I bet you they put mine on hold while they built the Nate Navarro SubBass, lol. Well, I don’t mind.
This is the Short Scale MultiScale Lignum bass my second. It will have the Delano Xtender Quad coil.

Thanks @John_E and @howard after seeing Nate’s SubBass I want one too, lol. That said, I have no skills to pull that one off. 
This one has a long list of parameters.
The compound fingerboard is actually 7.25*-25* this would be such an awesome fingerboard.

String spacing is only 17mm on the Acinonyx. Too narrow for me. 1.4" nut is small too. if I were a smaller person perhaps
