My OX4s, similar wind to yours, do have some upper midrange emphasis. I’ve had 3 A4 PAF style pickups from different winders, OX4, Shed Supernaturals and Wizz. All have that upper midrange push, with the Wizz having the most. I’ve found I prefer A5 pickups. I have a set of Rewind Low Winds, neck A2 and A5 bridge. Much more balance and fatter than the above mentioned A4 pickups. My Throbak PH102s with A5 are fantastic as well. Nice bark and grind and none of the ear grating upper midrange.
My OX4s balance really well with the guitar they’re in, but it’s not the first guitar I reach for.
Glad somebody understands what I was talking about... I’m surprised this thread is still going. I came to the same conclusion... I don’t like the A4 mag tone. It’s not my amp, wiring, pots, caps, guitar, etc,; it’s those friggin’ A4 magnets. Just not for me. A5 and A2 are what I need in bridge pickups.
