I don't know. But I sure hope that the UPS guy isn't also delivering anybody's vintage video or cassette tapes in the same truck.

Perhaps, the same county.

i have ordered these types of magnets before and the field doesnt extend much but it is strong within an inch or so

wonder what they sound like compared to say an A8
or A5 for that matter

curious.............

they seem to be the right size

 

[devastone]

If they are too strong they will probably cause a lot of string pull and kill your sustain.

 

[ehdwuld]

super low

may not be able to get them low enough

may have to raise action

may need to play slide

dang

I mean, if you have time to kill, won't hurt to try, worst case is you'll have to put the original mags back.

Thats what I'm thinking

I would think *tiny* neo magnets are worth exploring. But nothing close to the size of a typical pickup magnet.

 

[beaubrummels]

I would expect neo-bar magents to pull the strings down and affix them to the pickups, thereby producing no sound, or just one sound only once.

 

[Adieu]

Neo bars? Nope

Maybe something foil-thin or thereabouts

Just to keep this in perspective, there is these guys who've been doing Neo magnet pups for awhile. Never heard them, and don't know their sales figures, but they have been around for awhile.

I have a Entwhistle HDN humbucker. It's very loud, hard, articulate, and bright. I changed out the nickle steel baseplate for a brass baseplate which rounded off the treble and beefed up the mids. I would like to try one in a really low K humbucker in the neck position like a Dimarzio HFH.

I never tried this but it looked interesting.

Tried it a couple of years ago, sounded way too bright…

You can replace with Alnico too if they use molded bobbins.

He never knew why
