Someone has to try this

[UberMetalDood]

I have been using a Custom 5 bridge with a UOA5 magnet as a neck pickup. I think I stumbled upon a really awesome neck pickup. Someone else has to try this so you can vouch for my discovery. Seymour Duncan needs to make this a regular part of their line and call it the "Uber Custom."

You may have a fight on your hands with blueman if you try and call it the "uber custom," I would still love to try the UOA5 at some point

I liked it a lot more in the neck than the bridge thats for sure!
I hated it in the bridge spot

How about they comprise and make it the "Bluber custom"? XD

It's already established here as 'the Blueman Signature UO C5.' I have a pack of lawyers ready to pounce on anyone foolish enough to try to muscle in on my patents. You've been warned.

I tried and thought it was still too bassy. Are you running it parallel?

I did like a Custom/490R UOA5 hybrid as a neck pickup, pretty cool for the sludgies.

Is this in a 22 or 24 fret guitar?

I will bet 24 fret would sound the best for this in the neck. I tried it in a 22 and it was good.

You guys must be doing primo legato up high on the neck only or something. I tried it with a 24 fret neck, it's 24.75 scale though.

I think they should load Invaders with Alnico II's and call em grumptrucks.

LOL, I can make you one.

Not at all. The UOA5 reduced the bass significantly. Compared to my Pearly Gates neck, it's less bassy. It has a similar balance to my Jazz neck. I'm using 250k pots so I don't know if that takes away anything from the low end.

That's weird, it was way bassy for me even with an A4, 500K pots. I dunno, maybe because it's an LP-ish guitar with heavy strings tuned to C#.
