Guys,
I have a hybrid I made a couple of years ago. It's a PATB2/JB hybrid with hex polepieces and 2 small ceramic magnets next to the JB coil. The idea was to get a p90-ish tone but with a slightly tighter low end and less bark. It worked. It worked really, really well, but the pickup is a bit too weak for my taste. Also, the highs are a bit harsh. I've been thinking about three scenario's.
1: change the hex polepieces for regular length polepieces.
2: change the hex for regular and give it a normal alnico5 magnet.
3: change the hex for regular and give it an alnico 5 and leave in the most outer of the 2 small ceramics.
Ideas? Any insight or second opinion is welcome
