.A modern deguassed A8 ..Ya gotta figure it might be something to consider, given the fact the 'ol Super 70's are such good and or sought fater humbucker pickups?

You could go A4......thats like a really degaussed A8.

Or you could move the pickup a bit further from the strings with a regular A8

I mean the vintage A8 Ibanez Super 70..on planet Earth...

You mean "I read it on the Internet so it must be true planet "?

It must be the same guy who insulted me because I didn't put back the MM45 p'ups in my made by Matsumoku Vantage 700 guitar?

For the record: hearsay is NOT fact. It's even an accepted ground for objection in a court of law.

Edit: having a small business and specializing in p'ups I get all kinds of Internet nonsense parroting all the time. The one I've never ever got in over thirteen years of activity is the one about the Super 70s. That's why I don't think they're SO sought after after all...

Sorry if I came on dickish. I guess I badly need a holiday!

Hey, no problem, I fully admit to being the d*ck here. No, Super 70's are prettty sought after..nothing like the way T-Tops have became though ..yeah, I was keen on those MM45's. I still have one. Did you know people say that a Super70 was the responsible pickup for half of Van Halen 1?
What do you and AlexR think of THIS?;

Mine sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I sent it to get rewound but got lost in the mail. Maybe it was a divine sign...?

Also there are people that say the Holocaust never happened. ;)

In a nutshell: never believe everything you read. Specially when talking 'bout things coming from a known pathological liar with an unconditional love for BS and hype.
 
Re: A Degaussed A8?...

Don't they say that sticking an A8 in the Duncan '59 brings you stupidly close to the sound of the Super 70s?
 
Re: A Degaussed A8?...

LOL Well, I was asking if that's true rather than stating that's what I heard as truth. :naughty:

I wouldn't know; I've never had a Super 70 in my hands. Ever.

If the specs are somewhere near what I've seen on the WWW, I find hard to believe the neck p'up being something to write home about.

It's my opinion based on hearsay, so it's basically worthless. :cool2:
