    Have a couple JB's a PB and a couple Hybrids in play in my guitars now so know them all very well.
    sweet, seems to come to the conclusion that the hybrid might be just what i'm looking for!

      An A2 59/C hybrid is a really cool pickup. I have it in the bridge of a strat and it sounds killer. Not as fire-breathing as a JB, but has a nice kick and middy growl to it.
      Quality riffs in about a minute...

        I found the PB to be pretty big and thick sounding myself. I do tend to dial the mids up some in my rig but even with them flat, it still has a big sound with plenty of cut. It certainly doesn't have the mids of the Custom Custom but it is not void of them either.

              https://espguitars.co.jp/seymourdunc...tonechart.html

              this chart rates the hybrid at B:6, M:8 and T:8 and the 59 at B:6, M:3 and T:8 though

              the custom custom is rated at 3 : 7 : 7 there, so not too far off from the hybrid and JB in the EQ aspect
              I am not sure I believe those charts. I'd put the 59 & the Hybrid at 747, and the CC at 586.

                  That clip is good if you only listen to from 5:50 to 6:20. The rest of the clip sounds too processed with reverb and overdrive.

                    Dimarzio has this area covered very well

                    And a bunch of others signature pickups too.

                    I like the norton alot.

                    I think there is a youtube video comparing the two.

                            A2P and Jazz are the same wind. That has been confirmed. They are very differently EQ'd pickups.

                              I think i will order a hyperion set through the custom shop, but i'll have to find a way around import fees or it would be way too expensive

                                The custom shop wasn't taking orders when I contacted them a week or so ago.
