I was chatting to an upright player about this style of pickup and his critique was that when play the upper register the amplified sound gets louder due to the strings getting closer to the pickup. Have others noticed this issue?

the pickups has been improved by dividing it into 2 units can be easily positioned in order to adjust the output level for each string
Four coils 1 for each string
humbucker configuration
balanced XLR output

the problem was solved by dividing the pickup in 2 distinct and separate units.
This allow you to balance the sound level of each string by acting on the respective distance.
musicians who are using it are truly excited about the results that you get and the quality of the pickups

Starry,
This is an issue without a doubt. Luckily most bass players rarely play in thumb position. They can compensate with dynamics or just set their action much lower since they are effectively playing an electric bass. When Bartolini attacked the problem he used tall magnets with a longer "throw" and set the pickups a lot further away to minimize the effect.
