        Really? I put an A5 into a Super D and HATED it. Thinner, weaker, just bad. I thought I was the only person dumb enough to try it!

          Love the JB. I have no idea how it can sound punk, country, rawk and metal all at once but it does. And I don't give an eff about "compression". I was more talking about what others say they dislike. I can hear some imperfections tho such as the cut up bass and clogged up mids.

              That would make a difference! I didn't know there was any such thing until recently.

                Yep! I won't go back to standard thickness mags in the bridge. I'm thinking about getting a magnetizer so I can glue A6 and 9 mags together and make double thickness ones.

                  Magnets dont work that way. You cant glue them together and get them to act as one. Even if you glue then while they are unmagentized. You will still wind up with 2 separate magnetic fields.

                    How does this compare to a straight up JB8 ?

                      Cermag posted up in here and said bonding 2 unmagnetized mags and then remagnetizing them is equivalent to having 1 continuous mag. That's also what they do with their double thick A8s...

                      A little rounder bass, rings clean bot to top without the clog in the mid, different top end with a nice subtle click, plus the awesome 3d ness you get from any hybrid. It's really great.

                        It will function as one mag but its not exactly the same.

                          Were these both standard spaced coils?

                            Both trem spaced. The pole spacing works out well with the angled hum.

                              Right on yea I was wondering about that too because I think the poles between the two are slight off whether they both are standard or trem spaced.

                              You should take your leftover Super Distortion coil an pair it with an SH6 coil next. <err I mean TB6

                                Maybe I should! I'm really liking the Distortion with the Custom because they're both modern sounding, less organic.
