- I tried short roughcast alnico 5 magnet in Seth Lover bridge pickup, then i notice that, it sounds so close to old Gibson T-Top! Anyway, Seth got a lot more power and brightness than what it was with stock alnico 2 magnet, which is great too.
Try this with an Antiquity. By 59 Gibson was wounding the pickups a little hotter for more sustain. The Antiquity's use a hotter winding with a higher resistance reading. Swap the alnico II for alnico V in the Anitquity and you will nail the Led Zep tone.
Yeah that would be pretty close. Now i have Monty's PAF neck and bridge in my LP and i'm gonna settle for those, but for someone else who have antiquity that is nice thing to try.
Sounds phenomenal. Did you do the same mod to the neck?
Sorry for the late answer but no just bridge.
So exactly how are these replaced ? Easy ,complex ?
Hi. I just loose those little bottom screws and take magnet out and new in, that's it. Orientation is important thing so it doesn't go out of phase with neck pickup.
Which size magnet? Was this the shortest Alnico 5 out there? The 2.18" size?
Good question. I'm very bad with measure stuff but i think this magnet is the shortest A5, at least it's shorter than any other A5 that i had ever. I buy it from www.crazyparts.de/pickup-making-parts/magnets/alnico-5-rough-vintage-alloy-bar-magnet-short.php
Do you know what differences there are between the shortest A5 and the longest? I am interested because i just put an A5 that's probably around 2.36" in my humbuckers. I got the magnets out of some 12 year old Epiphone Alnico Classics, and replaced the long A2s in my pickups.
@@benjohnson4810 I don't know the range, myself. I got a rough A5 2.44" from MojoTone...I also grabbed a 2.180" Ceramic 8 as a comparison. 🤷🏼♂️ IDK, bro....obviously the amp and settings make the biggest differences, but I like to tinker. Honestly, I play like shit, but I like rebuilding guitars.
Magnets are cheap; buy a few an try them out! Good luck, man!
@@cspellman8547 Cool. I like tinkering too, mostly out of necessity, but occasional OCD happens. I needed more scooped mids, etc and the A5 worked. '66 Fender Bassman with Peavey 15" speaker.
