Re: Is there a potted antiquity humbucker?

I think I've just gotten used to my jaguar squealing and think every non potter humbucker is like that. I've never played one. are they noisy?

This is very simple...

Will Ants squeal? Yes they will.

Do they squeal all the time? No.

If you plug into a rig, dual in a bunch if gain, crank the volume in a small room and stand in front of the amp they dill squeal but in those situations do can/will potted pickups.

Like I said earlier...I use Ants in my R8 with cranked amps, boosters, fuzzes, etc and have no issues.

I have both Seths and Ants in Les Pauls. As others have posted, they will feedback, but in my experience it is always musical and controllable, and not the high-pitched squeal that is so irritating. I use Mesa Boogie amps in a Classic Rock and Blues cover band. I don't play with metal type gain--my lead tone ideal leans more towards Santana's singing sustain. And honestly, we're not super loud. So, it's not a pickup I would recommend for loud metal chugging.

You might want to think about the Pearly Gates set in your 335--this is a vintage-style PAF, and they come potted. The alnico 2 Gibson Burst Bucker #1 and #2 would also be a good choice. Aftermarket BBs are generally NOT potted, but factory installed pickups are. The BBs are a bit brighter and more articulate than the Gibson Classic '57, which are pretty darn good in 335s. And then you have the WLH set....lots of choices.

I'm not looking for a monstruous gain sound. I sometimes like to use high output humbuckers so that I can hit the amp harder and have to push the preamp less, but the tone itself isn't very chugging.
