Re: I vant your Alnico 4! Give it me!

A few $ on ebay isn't expensive or hard to find. A9 might be limited in its application because it's harsh. But I don't really think so because it works perfectly in the neck spot to brighten things up for rock. Who doesn't have that problem. While A6 is friggin perfect. It's like a more balanced A5 with mids.

The way you describe an A6 is the exact way I describe an A4, which is why I think people like it so much. The way I see an A6, it's a darker, less middy A2.

A6 isn't darker than A2. It has only slightly less treble than A5. I see the balance of A4 as desirable in some apps maybe, but I don't like how it sounds all flat color wise and takes away all the character of the pickup.

Was that really worth the 9 year necro.......to quote a guy who is probably not here anymore anyhow?

Who cares?

Re: I vant your Alnico 4! Give it me!

is AlNiCo 4 really that sublime?

All the AlNiCo you'll ever want and then some.

Yes.

btw ~ my A4 bridge is so harmonic ( maybe it's the scatter too) that i dont even know how to correlate it to the Neck A5 in the same ax. I just know that I dont have another Ax/Pickup that does what it does . i get almost as much harmonics when used together , as well
