Gibson 498T with A8

Re: Gibson 498T with A8

I did some mag swapping, but whether the demagnetizer did the trick, or not... DI'd recordings for reamping: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/65jyn96czwhmw/498T

I know, 2013, but hey...

I Think all magnets loose power with time. Maybe is time To swap Your magnet again.

I meant the thread was originally 2013, so I'm a bit late

Re: Gibson 498T with A8

I've never re-waxed any PU I've taken the cover off of. There's always enough wax still on there (sometimes I may have to move it from the baseplate or coils to the top of the coils). Since I've swapped so many magnets, and not known which would be the best until I play it, I usually don't solder the covers back on. Between the excess wax and adding a little PU tape on top, the covers fit snug enough not to feedback.

As far as whether to put an A8 or UOA5 in your 498T, depends if you want a powerful modern sound or a richer, more vintage tone. I started off with A8's in my hotter bridge PU's (Custom variants, 498T, etc) but have since changed out most of them to UOA5's.

I try The pickup without put cover again. In my gibson pickups I also have To remove all polepieces and backplate because I cannot remove The magnet . The wax have glue The magnet.
First time I put cover with out wax The pickups comes microphonic. Is my first try. I'm not expert. But I'm available to learn.
After The I make my own wax with 80% peraffin and 20% bee wax. And after that pickups comes good.
Soŕry for my bad english. I'M Portuguese.
