I was wondering how the Alnico II sounded distorted... Anyone using that pup for this?

Re: Alnico II Pro HB distorted?
I primarily play with OD/dist, my heritage has a jazz n/ A2P bridge. The A2P sings beautifully. It is round and smooth. It has great string to string definition and articulation. The clarity is somewhat less that that of a Seth though according to Barlo. To me this bucker is the a seth that they made more humbucker-like. It has less quack and more mids. Rounder.

Re: Alnico II Pro HB distorted?
It's my favorite HB to date. I love the smoothness. It retains clarity no matter how much gain I throw at it. I may stop looking at other HB's as I keep going back to the APH for both neck and bridge. It allows me to get "my sound" and let the natural tone of my guitars and amp shine through. YMMV, but for me it's the bomb.

It sounds round. It has good bottom end and mids. The highs are enough to give clarity and cut. Mine was bright but not as bright as a '59. LOved them. ONly sold them because I wanted something different. Great pickup

I currently have a bridge a2pro in a Les Paul and it's a great pickup for classic rock tone. It is similar to the Seth Lover, with a little more punch and high end "sizzle".
Lot's of character and definition. I like the upfront mids and the "open" tone.

There are two "dirty" samples with bridge and neck pickup on the main site, too.
