Haven`t really dealt with a PG+, but its about the same except the UOA5 has a little more output than a A2 and I think it allows you to hear the beauty of the winds a little better and just a hair more punch. Plus the bass isn`t as spongy and the highs are still rounded but a bit more present in the mix.

The PG plus is wound hotter than a regular PG. It 8.75 or something like that. It would be interesting to try a PG UOA5 though, especially since the original PG pickups were a5

BTW, I'd bet that the PG/59 combo would be a great combo. I've been meaning to try it myself.

The PGn is one of my favs, except for mayby the antiquities neck. A2 in the neck has a sweet spot that cant be denied.
Partial to the C5 in the bridge but a 59 can be nice. I dont do the bright thing in the bridge so the extra thickness of the C5 suites me well. For vintage bright bridge tones the 59 is hard to beat.

My #2 Les Paul (R8) came with the stock BB. My first swap was a set of PG, which made the neck clearer (still rounded highs) and the bridge was nearly identical. Still the balance between both were not good, maybe because the PGb is a bit low wound with 7.96k (go figure).
My next step was a A4 in the neck and a RCA5 in the bridge. The neck is terrific with a thight bass and a lot more articulation - a keeper. The PGB with the A5 was clearer and tighter in the bass, but too much treble and still to low in volume.
Then i changed to an A8 in the bridge: Beef, grind and drive is here, but rounder highs like a A2. I think i keep this combo. Since my other experiences with Ants i think this A4 neck and A8 bridge thing does something to me.
One thing: I still think of going back to the original BBs and change out the magnet. You guess right: A4 in the neck, A8 for the bridge.
Any tried this with BBs?
