If you already have a JB, try a mag swap or two before you dump it. I don't like stock JB's, but with an A2 it's a whole new PU. Nice, full mids and no shrill high end. An A8 will keep a little more treble than an A2. Many times you can get what you want from your existing PU's by changing magnets or pots.

Motor City Pickups AFWAYU is exactly that.
JB, less treble, bigger tighter bass, no icepick mid spike.
HUGE sounding pickup.

Lower the treble side, raise the bass side.

If you really are looking to get rid of an A8, I'll take it.
if anyone needs an A8 magnet, I have one you can have for..... 1 MILLION DOLLARS!!
seriously though I can't bond with the A8 in anything.

I've got one of these with a nickel cover in a pickguard waiting for a test drive, but I have no neck humbucker to pair it with. Wymore didn't have any 4-conductor neck buckers with nickel covers to match it, and a new one off an eBay dealer is like $100 plus shipping. I figure I'll just save up $30 more and get an Afwayu neck model.

Yes, but it won't lower that dreaded ice-picky spike the JB is infamous for.

I have run a JB with swaps to both the A-2 and A-8. The both will get you close. A-8 is super hot but has a singing smooth mid and a lot of meat. The A-2 also has a singing smooth mid with a more open tone and less heat but not by that much.
The closest Dimarzio is the Air or Tone Zone or Norton.
I would prefer a Alt 8 or JB 2 to either Dimarzio though.
