Re: Overwound 59B anyone ?
I had an 8.75K 59b and an 8.75K PGb+. Both were killer pickups. PGb was a bit rawer, was screaming more. I gave it to my buddies who are still using them. I also had a 8.7K ant HB bridge, and that one with an A5 was better than both of them. In fact, I've kept it with an A4; let go of it when I've sold the guitar it was in (an 04 flamey Standard).
The reason why I did not keep them is actually the Brobucker. I have 3 of them.
8.75K and up is a bit tricky. If the guitar sounds right, I don't like to go above 8.5K mark (e.g., in a good LP standard that sounds right). In fact, 7.90K Seth bridge of mine in my H555 sounds phenomenal. And when the guitar is a thin one and needs a bit more muscle, I think the Brobucker is very hard to beat. (I don't like that same Bro in my LP for example).
All that said, I have to tell that my PATB-3 measuring 9.40K is hell of a hot wound a4 PAF. It is a bit more snappy than the Brobucker, with a bit more presence. Brobucker has more muscle and clarity.
