      Alnico 3 (at least in a humbucker, I think it has a different sound profile in a single coil) is similar to Alnico 2, but with a hair less mids and a hair more bass and treble.

      Alnico 4 seems to have a hair more mids than Alnico 5 and a bit less bass. It also seems to be brighter (I thought it sounded too harsh, but in a guitar without a maple cap, it might be OK).
