Tried JB with no tone control and it was.......almost. Anyone tried ceramic in it? What do you find? Looking to keep the squawky mids but add articulation in the pick attack.

Ceramic JB?

I just went down a very similar road.
I tried a few pickup swaps, which I actually bought from you but ultimately weren’t right for this particular guitar.
I eventually mag swapped an A8 into my JB and so far I love it. I actually bought a ceramic 8 mag to put in my JB but haven’t put it in as of yet. If the A8 doesn’t work at next band rehearsal I’ll try the ceramic.
There’s a YouTube video of a guy with a ceramic JB and it sounds massive.
This guys guitar is obviously tuned down to something lower than standard but it’s a huge guitar sound he’s getting.

yes, definitely more power which I like and the high end is rounder and more subdued. It is still a "present" pickup though and retains all of what makes a JB so good. The single notes still sing and harmonics jump off of the fretboard. At some point i may try a ceramic in it but for now I'm happy with what I'm hearing.

I think I'll try it. Don't need more power, I'm already backing it way off and raising the poles on the bridge coil so it's no louder than the firebird neck I have in the guitar in question. Really just looking for more articulation in the very high end and sounds like the single ceramic with no tone control might do it.

I tried both A8 and double thick ceramic in my JB in my Schecter. Didn't like them. Wound up going with an RCUOA5. It's been there for going on 5 years now. I don't plan to change it.

^ I'm back into UOs as well. Tried the A2/A8 hybrid and didn't really like it. I think I'm done with A8. A2, A3, A6, A5 and UOA5 are my favz. Now that I have double thick mags providing extra power, I don't need the synthetic sound from A8 or what have you. I have 3 A8 hybrids I can ship out for a few bucks if anyone wants them.The things that you wanted
I bought them for you
