And I thought it was my glasses!  
Any input on the AXY's would be appreciated, compared to the MXY's. I thought I was seeing things when I would look at other pics of Eupropa's and they looked different than mine. Hey I am still learning about these works of art, but the more I learn the more I LIKE.

The AXY and MXY are basically the same pickup in a different shape.

I have an Essence with MXY pickups and a Spoiler with AXY pickups.   Maybe it is a difference in the electronics but both basses hasve a very different sound.   In my opinion the Spoiler has a little more character and the Essence has more of a flat response.   Don't get me wrong. They both sound great, just different

The electronics in the Essence only have one preamp, the Spoiler has one for each pickup. I'd be surprised if they didn't sound somewhat different, so I'm glad you can hear it. The actual pickups are identical internally.
