Thanks all. Sounds like i should probably try in in the neck. I may do that when i have the time a drive to do so. I have A3 bars on hand. I've had a A3 set and didn't notice much difference in the low end in the neck but that could have been any number of reasons and i'd appriciate more mids...

In a paf style humbucker, with "all else being equal", would you say A3 is going to be more dynamic and have a wider range of clean to dirty using the volume knob? (using treble beed)

Beyond the technical genius and great musicianship, I love how high the moon. Such an incredible song.

Not sure why, but for some reason i thought that might be the case even tho it;s a high wind pickup, tho i dunno why i thought that. Not sure if it's something i read or what. But when i used them it was in the 80s and it was before i began using the volume knob for clean and distortion, so it...

Would a JB lose much headroom over a PG in the bridge of a LP? I use my treble bleed equipped volume to get clean to mean tones and the PG dos that ok, tho not as well as id like. It tends to be such an aggressive pickup that i feel like it retains too much of that and too much of that honkey...

It's not. I have yet to hear a HB neck in a LP that was overly bright. But the bridge is what i'm talking about.

I have. (470k strapped across 500k pot)

I'm just curious....has anyone that uses these found that they sound best and more balanced when set very low in a LP ? I almost never prefer any pickup set really low, but these pickups are very bright and agressive when set to a normal height and i started experimenting with setting them real...

First, i realize it will when combined, but i'm talking about BY ITSELF. In other words, if you have a 4 wire HB and you reverse the ground and hot wire (leaving the bare chassis ground to ground of course) Is there any difference no matter how slight? Don't take this as a total noob question, i...

Title says it all

I find sometimes cover sound better depending on the guitar, other times no. What do those of you who've used both covered and uncovered pearly gates in a LP think? Whats your experience with this? I know generally how HBs differ generally with and without, but specifically looking to hear...

Talking the regular production set with nickel cover gibson spaced. IF they have changed, how any times and what years did changes take place? I understand it may be unknown or the details unclear, but are there any known details as the how many times, when, and what type of changes?

I think at this point having used them a couple months i'm convinced that if they aren't the best HB's i have had they are at least as good as the best of them. I'd say best tho. But i have never like to split HB's in a LP, that just never sounds good. Well i decided to try it figuring what the...

I'm talking about the same type, IE: A2 or A5 etc, same surface, IE: polished or sand cast, and same length. Has anyone experimented with different manufacturers and found a notable difference in tone and if so, any manufacturers that tend to be best? Not talking about throback, as theres no way...

Not sure if i recall any pickup where i swapped magnets and found it to be undeniably better till now. Gibson classic 57+ bridge, swapped to A5. I know tone is subjective, but i bet most everyone who plays the kind of music i do would agree it's a huge improvement. Definitely the first time i...
