What would an Antiquity Bridge with A5 sound like?

[Ruben0910]

I think of replacing the 'aged' magnet of my Antiquity bridge pickup with a full A5...

Questions:

* Will this make some sort of '59 pickup?

* What will be the tonal difference?

Thanks for answering!

Brighter, fewer mids, tighter.

Mmm... that very much sounds like a '59 ...doesn't it?

Similar in ways but far from the same...

So what are the differences then?

I am not at the point to have an A5 in bridge, there is still a full charged A2. But i have an A5 in the neck and i liked it best so far. But if you urge me to do so, i will do it tomorrow (i do not have covers on mine so its not a big job to do!)
I would guess its not as snappy as a 59 or T-Top, a bit looser and more warmth - as much as a A5 pickup can have.

Anyone else tried A5 in the Ant's bridge?
