I prefer the sound of the C64.

Most of the difference is probably due to the cap, which the C64 has and the V63 does not. With the cap present, the two pickups interact differently, and I'd say the toaster gets a fairer hearing. C64 gives me less output, but a stronger sound.

On stage the biggest sounding basses I have are my RM1999 and my 4008, strangely enough they have the weakest pickups of all my basses!

Output does not always equal power.....

funny how that works,isn't it?
my danelectro bass has REALLY weak pickups,but sounds huge.
the hi gain in my 4000 is probably much weaker than current higains,but it also sounds really marvelous,with a lot of clarity.

Yep, that is what the volume knob on an amp is for!
