Re: Screaming Demon with alnico 8 for sale !
By the way in an more recent post I have decreased the price to 80 E .
So compared to the Demon with alnico 5 the Demon 8 has
* EQ : a broad midrange added from low mids ( like alnico 2 ) to mids , without boosting the high mids . So the Demon's sometime sharp treebles are smoothed by being thicker , and more round . So the pickups sound overall darker , but the bass are tighter .
Harmonics are even better , a lot of shime on the top end tell you that they are ready to be pinched !
* Ouput : more ouput due to more mids and a stronger magnet .
* Attack and clarity : more clarity because added mids and power make each note fuller , more punchy attack but even rounder than alnico 5 , no fuzz at all ( still a moderate ouput ) .
* Sustain : I didn't notice a loss of sustain due to the stronger magnet .
For the Demon alnico 8 just brings good things , for clean or distorted .
( Except that it sound less vintage , for vintage lovers )
