I have a JB in my Ibanez RG 565.
I recently put an UOA5 in it. I find it to be an improvement in the regular A5 but I still feel it is lacking....
I have a Custom (SH-5) in my LP which absolutely slays in that guitar. It has an amazing chunky yet tight low end that I love.
And that is what I feel the Ibanez is lacking....the low end. Now I know the JB is not known for its low end. I like everything else I get from the JB though. The output is huge and the Ibanez sounds like it’s going to rip through the speakers. The UOA5 has smoothed out the mids like I hoped it would. It’s just the lacking low end.
My question is:
Would a mag swap like an A8 or A2 help in any way here? Or do I just need to be using a different pickup?
Maybe a Custom Custom?
I also have a BKP Rebel Yell on hand that I bet would sound great. Only thing is that it is a Standard spaced pickup....which probably would still work just fine anyway..
Thoughts?
Also looking for recommendations for a Stratty neck pickup preferably noiseless.
It currently has a Hot Rails in it. Which is good but not really Stratty.
Thanks.
