  • Any of you fellas compare a Brobucker to a Hybrid?

    It's been SO long since I've played a Hybrid.

    Has anyone here compared one to the Brobucker? Which has more push? More sparkle? More output?

    To my ears they both sound dark or for a better term they both sound warm. If saving a few bucks was an issue I'd go the the hybrid. They do sound similar to me.

      warm? the 59/custom warm? I wouldn't say that at all, actually. powerful with lots of presence, imho

      anyway. I have heard a broB. before, and it was a bit too goowy for my taste. the hybrid is tighter

        Well it's possible after 32 years of blasting loud music that my ears are shot.

              I mainly have A2 in my Hybrids... the Brobucker has a similar tonal balance with it's aged A5, but it doesn't have the clarity...
              Sounds great in certain guitars... definitely in my top 10 humbuckers!

                Unbalanced coils from two bright PU's, with an A5...where does the 'warm' come from?

                  Wish they'd make the Brobucker a regular production pickup, seems like it hits a niche no one is hitting at the moment, but not as many as going to pony up for the double price.

                    My SDunc hybrid isnt warm- tone-y maybe, but very bright & sparkly & rich. Very top shelf high quality & dimensional on a my cheapo dead buzzy stringed beater.
                    Warmer but BEEFIER with Alnico 8.
                    Ive never tried Brobucker.

                    When the question comes up: "i play rock, rocknroll, blues rock, some blues, classic rock... Every now & then I play a bit of old sk00l metal- Scorps-Halen: what pickup do I want?",... I think Im gonna answer hybrid.

                      I too prefer the A2 in the hybrid. I like the fact that it stays true CC on one coil and the other becomes a warmer 59b
                      the bros is creamier than the hybrid do to its balanced coils.

                            Differing reports on that, I think Evan said it's symmetrical, along with all Duncans, but I'm positive mine is not.
