Are pickups wound with a magnet in mind

David, you should try some A8 and/or Samarium Cobalt magnets in your bass pickups. My RIC HB2 humbuckers have the samarium cobalt magnets and they have lots of highsr4 but still stay very clear. They were used on the 2030 bass and 230 guitar among others and sound great. Give it a try and let us know how it sounds!

That sounds good, but it is a little difficult to do it.

Since that posting back in 2008, I now use neodymium magnets in some of my bass pickups, so it's not difficult to do at all.
