DD neck with an A5 Magnet?

[Nightburst]

Anyone tried this?
This could be a very interesting alnico powered neck pickup with good cleans and a fat distortion tone... :saeek:
Would it come close to a hotter '59n?
Would it match well with a C5 in a LP?

Well, a Distortion is a JB with a different magnet...a DD neck with an A5 would be a JB Neck! Sounds cool try it!

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, the DDn has 12k resistance and the output will be lowered as well going from a Ceramic to an A5 magnet.
= this the JB neck model? I really want to try thgis out but I'd like to hear some more opinions and maybe soundclips?

I think the A5 Distortion sounds like a JB. Or that a JB ceramic sounds like a distortion. I'm not sure where these ideas came from.

A5 Distortion sounds bassier than a JB. Downright dark, but still plenty clear and balanced. The only reason the DD is so bright is because it is ceramic, a large ceramic at that.

Ceramic JBs have more sparkle, with more aggressive mids. (more mids all around actually- it's not harsh.)
