Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
I did it. Makes it a lot fatter. I kind of dug it in the Strat I had, which was a reverse SSH in which the neck was the only humbucker.

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Thanks for the response.
Interesting setup....kinda a Keith Richards tele, but in a strat. I'd be into that. How about the clarity of the AP(5)n? Good individual note definition?

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
One of my favorites at the moment. Adds a nice chime to the highs and gives it much better note separation and spank. It still sounds good overdriven as well. I like to roll back the volume on the neck for clean stuff and wind it up for upper fret lead stuff and it is excellent for that duty. I found the cleans to be pretty flat and boring with the a2.

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Pretty good, and the Strat I had it in was nice and clear in the wood to begin with. Would have kept it but the sky blue faded to vomit green. That and I needed the money...

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Ha! Another reminder to enjoy those blue skies while they last......the tornado is often just over the hilltop.
Appreciate the input. I'm going to do this experiment and I'll follow up with my thoughts. May also try it with a PGn just for the experience.

Tornadoes aren't so bad. I'm saving up some dough for this:

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
No, you're not nuts at all! I'm a twister fanatic, too. Never seen one on land, but have seen a waterspout. Maybe we'll have to meet out on the plains for some real action!

WRONG! That just means you're nuts too.
Probably you already know this but waterspouts are basically wussy tornadoes, and by meterological classification not techincally tornadoes at all because they're not associated with supercell t-storms, or often any kind of t-storm at all. They're rarely anywhere near as violent but they still look pretty cool anyway.
On the other hand, an actual legit slam-bang trailer-park hunting tornado that goes over water is still a tornado and not a waterspout. And on top of that, there's also what they call "landspouts" which is a waterspout the forms on land and is every bit the wuss-nado that the waterspout is. So it can get a little confusing for the uninitiated.
It really would be a hoot to go on one of those tours though. I'm from NC and live in LA and I have to explain to folks out here that "you have no weather here". What qualifies as a thunderstorm in LA has maybe 3 rolls of thunder if you're lucky and done. I'm dying for some action and I get really jealous of the folks in the Antelope Valley (about 50 miles north) because they get some pretty respectable looking thunderheads marching across the Valley that you can see all the way from here but never come anywhere near us. Like watching a pretty girl go by that you know will never have anything to do with you...(sob, sniff)...

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Man, your bulletin header made me pee my pants! I wasn't sure what kind of attack we were under???
"Wuss-nado"....now that's just funny! Yeah, I'm with you....a violent weather wisher. We get a few nasties here in Michigan...even an occasional trailer-park hunter. Nothing like the plains, though. I can't really recall a good ugly storm in recent years. 3 cracks and out....like you said. Yup, SoCal is pretty tame weather-wise. I used to get out there annually, and it always seemed pretty much the same regardless of the season....just got darker earlier sometimes.

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Michigan, especially the lower peninsula, is tornado country. Not to the degree KS/OK/TX is but they do have a history of some very nasty ones.
In LA we do have 3 seasons, winter, which is like early to mid-Fall in most places and when we get all our rain, all 13 inches of it. Summer, which is about 105 to 115 from mid July to sometimes early October, and what I call Sprall, which happens twice, in calendar Spring and calendar fall, and is more or less like late Spring in most parts of the country, except little to no rain.

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Changing the magnet to A5 simply turns the APH into a Jazz, as far as I know.
And the Jazz neck is a great pickup! It's like a 59N with the frequency shifted slightly brighter, meaning the boomy bass is gone. It's still a tight and balanced sounding neck pickup, which is like the 59 for leads, but clean and clear for chords. Very natural sounding pickup.

Re: AP2n with A5 magnet
Agree....since the 'nader took this thread way off course and was preparing to dump it onto Trailerville, you must clarify......are the AP2 and the Jazz simply the same wind with different magnets? Verify, or it's sheet-metal shrapnel.
