I have read on some thread that the magnets have different dynamics, so does the same pickups with different magnets have different dynamic?

Re: Magnets and dynamic
The dynamic of a p'up is set by the magnetic circuit created by the interaction between magnet, baseplate, keeper, slugs, screws and the physical contact of the magnet with the keeper and the slugs.
Changing any of this components will have an effect of the dynamic.

Re: Magnets and dynamic
Originally posted by blueman335 View PostA2's and UOA5's have earthy, organic dynamics, a more complex sound. That doesn't necessarily work for every genre, especially when high gain is involved. Ceramics probably have the least of any magnet. Active PU's have even less, due to the fewer windings. Change magnets and you change a PU's EQ, dynamics, and often it's output. Use that to your advantage to dial in the tones you want for bridge and neck PU's. That's where the fun begins.
Ceramic is just all loud, all the time and this pummels the front end of your amp, causing it to compress more and your sound appears LESS dynamic. This would be more like fighting bare fists. You get cut and it's pretty ugly. Not much dynamic range here -it hurts even if you're hit softly.
Hope my analogy isn't too lame. This stuff is kind of hard to put into words because you hear it right away in person!Last edited by Natman; 11-19-2012, 10:31 AM.

There is some "give" that feels good and works for many styles of music. Like boxing gloves, they appear soft if you're only playing gently, but in a real fight, there is a lot of contact as the added surface area beats your face real good.
