Brighter than a CC, not as bright as a C5.

Check out the SD sound clips here:

Hmmm. sothe CC is the darkest, then Custom, then C-5.

no it is CC,C5 then custom
the custom has a resonant peak of 6Khz
which makes it the brightest and clearest of the group
it has the same RP as a 59b

Pete was saying that the C-5 was brightest and also brighter than the Jb according to some. I can't determine since I don't have the Custom.

Unless he's talking about the 59 being brighter than the CC and not as bright as the C-5. I don't know...

Quite a bit smoother with not as much sizzle on the top-end as the DD. A bit less bass, too.

all i can tell you is the resonant peak of each
59b /6khz
custom/ 6 khz
C 5/ 5.4 khz
CC/5.2 khz
the higher the RP the clearer and brighter the pup

You're assuming that the frequency response is monotonic, and the modes have the same Q.
