I think it's worth trying. Would you make two? I'm curious if it would sound different with a JB slug side as opposed to an Alt8 slug side.

How different are the winds?

I feel it would work well. What magnet would ou stick with? A8?

Didn't know if they had the info about the Alt8 online yet or not, and didn't bother to look for myself

nop, no info online and I promised on the penalty of castration with bricks, not to tell.

I wanna try out a JB/alt8 and a JB/alt5 (i.e.: same only using an alnico5 magnet...). I think the a5 version will be like a JB but with more dynamics and more 'open'. the alnico 8 version will be like the alt 8 only with a more fluid feel and a bit more 'open'. if that makes sense?

So they'll both feel more open? I'm assuming you mean compared with the alt 8 and jb, not with each other. Other than that it makes sense.

Re: alt8 jb hybrid. what do you think

Can you do hybrids for 7 string in the same way as you can with 6's..?

I've got one to do and before I undo anything, I want to check this out.

Re: alt8 jb hybrid. what do you think

I'd be more interested in an Alt 8/Custom hybrid, but I'm sure they would both sound cool, at the least.

[orpheo]

Re: alt8 jb hybrid. what do you think

Lt. Kojak: that's basic info... I know a 'bit' more than that

And when I'm saying 'more open', I am referring to the originals, not how the hybrids would be compared to each other.

wait am I making sense, or is the jet lag getting the better of me.

that could be interesting, except the wind of the Alt-8 takes the A8 mag a little better than the Custom 8 (yeah, I said it... get over it. *yawn*). or are you thinking of going with the ceramic magnet?

I suppose the same could be asked of the Alt-8/JB... A8 or A5?


either way, when everyone gets finished measuring their special-purposes over what they do and don't know, please try it out and post some results.
