Re: Not loving my A2P for jazz. Seth?
I don’t know that Clint 55 is saying it right, but I think he gets what I am trying to say.
But anyways, I went and dropped the pickup a little and raised the pole pieces, and that did help A bunch! :8: I aso adjusted the amp a little. It is definitely a lot better. I don’t know If I’ll stick with this or if I want to try a Seth. Maybe I’ll cover this pickup.
I just feel like I wanted to hear the guitar more, if that makes any sense
Raising the poles was a good move though and I think I’ll try this for a while.
Thanks everyone!

Re: Not loving my A2P for jazz. Seth?
I recently tried an UOA5 magnet swap into the APH-1. I guess its like a SH-2 jazz, but with a weaker magnet.
The pickup not as warm and creamy as before. Instead it gained clarity and pick response. Its hard to say that one is better than the other, as it will depend on the guitar, your preferences, and the pickup mounting height.
I was expecting the UOA5 to give less output than A2, but I haven't noticed much difference. I guess that a bit more brightness compensates for the weaker magnet.

Glad it's working out. Re - hearing the guitar more. If you want more dynamics and articulation... Maybe you should give a P90 a try.

Thinking about it, I don't think there is a huge difference between the Alnico II Pro and Seth Lover, anyway. I think the Seth might have some more touch-sensitivity because it isn't potted, and I can see that for some jazz, that might work. But really, they are pretty close.
