    Re: Any love left for the C8?

    I like the C5, but like Dave said, it is best in a mid-heavy guitar because it is so scooped. I like the C8 because of its big tight bottom, softer highs, and stronger mids. Give a very full and powerful tone to even the wimpiest guitar.

        What neck pups does everyone like with a C8? I'm still using a Jazz in Explorer Pro, and both pups are split for single coil action.

        The Jazz actually seems to pair pretty well with it, but I almost want something brighter in the neck.

        Will a PG neck match the C8 without too much of a dramatic shift in spectrum?
        I think I took a wrong turn in Albuquerque...

          The Jazz, Sentient, and 59 would sound great with a C8.

              The Sentient works quite well with an A 8 pickup in the bridge. The Alt 8 / Sentient combo in my KOA Carvin DC 127 is one of my all time favorite set ups.
              Here is that set up live through my little Mesa Subway Rocket
