Looking for a neck pickup. I like the warm tone of the 490, but find its treble to be too weak, just whiney. I find that I can fix this problem with the Burstbucker #1, which has resonant, strong treble, but its 'bite' is too much for me, which I attribute to the mis-matched windings.
I am determined to find an even-wound A2 with a lower resistance, so as to bring the resonance into the treble and strengthen it as much as possible. To my knowledge, these SD models are even-wound and lower resistance: Alnico II Pro and Seth Lover.
Which of these models has the strongest treble resonance/response? Or, which comes closest to an even-wind version of the BB1?
