What would a JB with an A2 magnet sound like?

Or in what way would it sound different then the stock A5?

Thanks theodie
It seems to be more grainy sounding than the normal a5 JB. It does not seem to have as much punch, but it's got more of a snarl to it in when soloing. That is something that seems typical of a2 pickups in general.

I think the regular JB cleans up slightly better. It's a trade-off, as always.
It sounds a bit compressed. That is the main attribute that I do not care for in this pickup. I have become more accustomed to the lower output pickups, but if I was in to heavier tones, the a2 JB would definitely be a contender.

I gave this pickup to nuntuis and he posted a great hard rock clip. You can probably find it in the tips/clips area of this forum.
