... Alt 8. But it's really clear that you complete me. You really do.

Oh, I've dallied with other pickups. Handwounds, production models, custom winds, and while I like many of them, they just don't have that "me" sound you do.

You're muddy, harsh, and not very pretty sounding, but dammit, so am I. No one else has your mix of alnico stringiness and fat, woody lower mid focus, oddly sweet top end, and brutal thud. I've even had two very popular custom winders try to replicate your profile, but as good as they sound, I keep coming back to you.

A2 is sweeter, and ceramics tighter, but I just can't find another that does what you do. I think it's time I accept that.

I love you, Alt8. I've always loved you. Even when playing with all those other pickups, I was wishing I was with you. There, I said it. You may not be perfect, but it seems you're perfect for me. Let's make little musicbabies and live happily ever after.

Oh, Alt8, kiss me, you fool!

I am still hoping to find some mods that will clear and tighten my Alt 8s up a tad, if anyone has any suggestions. Maybe swapping to all screws or something?
 
Re: I wish I coud quit you...

Swap out those screws for some hex screws. It should get the job done.

+1 and also you can cut the screws under ther baseplate so they are flush with the plate instead of protruding out. this helped tighten up a CC i had in my basswood Model series charvel
