I have several of these pickups laying around. I have some a8 rcuo a5 and a4 laying around. Any body have any expience with any of these mags in these pups? Would rcuoa5 be super close to the already stock a2?

Nope.

Probably.

Just try some swaps and find out.

Got a 498T lying around? Make a hybrid!

Good idea. Also good call on the mag swaps. I'd try the UOA5 first and then, maybe an 8. The only experiences I've had with A8s were Super 70s and a Custom 8. The C8 was too much and too low middy, imho, but the Super 70s are bright and pissed but still have decent low end and good mids. Thus, I figure A8s in low winds are a recipe for success.

Make another one with an A8?

I've got a couple 490T's. They're great with an A8 or UOA5. Works much better than an A2.
