The Pickup Place / Has anyone swapped magnets in a super distortion?

« on: November 20, 2017, 01:01:04 PM »

I have often wondered about this because i've been looking at trying it to lower the output in them but the magnet size/shape isn't typical. But i was wondering if anyone has found a alnico that is the same size and tried it, and if so what did you hear?

The Pickup Place / 59 or air classic for HSS bridge?

« on: November 17, 2017, 09:12:05 PM »

Bought a 36th but i don't like it at all, as it's much too mid heavy and ootput os much hotter then i thought. I want more of a low output HB thats not way hotter then my van zandts in my alder rosewood SSS like the 36th is. I really want something thats very dynamic and clear with no nasal quality. A good description might be single coil clarity and dynamics to some degree with the fullness of a HB. The 59 appealed to me due to being a more true PAF design unlike the 36th, but then i saw the air classic and that slightly scooped mid and similar output made me think that might be the better choice than the 59. Any thoughts?
