    Question: Various polepiece diameters.

    What are the diameters of the various rod magnet poles out there? Strat, Tele, Precision, Jazz, etc. how about the various humbucker ones? Slug, allen screw, slotted, etc. I think that this info would be useful, and if you could link me or explain it, I'd really appreciate it.

    Has anyone tried an A5 Super D?

    That might really improve the dynamics and open it up some. nice pickup, but it can be a little boxy and pretty compressed. I almost asked about the Super 3, but with that high of an impedence and inductance rating, I think any attempts to 'open it up' might just F it up.

    Anyone wires a Vintage Rails in series?

    I thought I'd heard the new ones have 4 conducter wiring, and I was wondering how they sound in comparison.

    Would copper paint on a pickups affect the tone?

    Very little of the stuff, on the outside of an (off brand) active pickup. I'll be getting one of these: http://www.adirondackguitar.com/electrics/washburn/wi64d.htm and wanted to keep the look close to original. very thin coat of spray under clearcoat. I'd be making it close to the corrent...

    Unbranded Korean Actives!

    I have yet to install them in a guitar, but I HAVE heard them in different guitar. THE best sounding pickups I have ever heard. EVER. Warm, smooth, fat, sound as good clean as they do distorted. I hate EMG tone for various reasons: Compression. I like something that allows me MAXIMUM dynamic...

    Vintage Rails wiring

    Arethese pickups standard wired in series or parallel? If series, is there a noticeable difference in tone parallel? I'm looking to wire these into a guitar for stereo outs for high/low strings.

    Neck humbucker for a 'Bazz VI' style bass

    I'm thinking Alnico Pro II, original trembucker(that IS different from the parallel Axis, correct?), or DiMarzio Air Zone. All very differnt pickups, but all tones I think I'd like. The AZ would give ultimate BOOM, the OTB would give good THUNK, the APT a more open THOOM. Opinions?
