What pickup from SD (A2 or A5) has more low mids? I would guess the CC. What would you choose? Personally I think an A3 helps accentuate the low mids.

I'm afraid that i could not find a medium-high output duncan that could satisfly me in terms of low mids content......

I can hear low mids in the Screamin Demon. I can also hear low mids in the Dimarzio D-Sonic....two very different sounding pickups though.

CC, no question.

Have you tried the invader?

The A3 does have more low-mid response than Alnico 2, relatively speaking. A3 has slightly less output but a slight low-mid bulge. You might like an Alnico 4 even better.

No it's the only one i haven't tried (from the med-high output pickups) but i'm not enthusiastic about installing THAT thing with THOSE big screws on any of my guitars ....

Some people have successfully removed the hex screws and replaced them to give the invader a much more 'normal' look, there was a thread in here on it a while ago, if i remember correctly it also made a slight different to the sound.

The invader is definately a distinctive looking pickup though, which does mean it definately won't suit every guitar.

Maybe I'll make a C3 or C4 and put a 250k tone pot. I'm sure that'll boost some low mids! Thanks for the feedback guys.

My CC the I made from a C-5 has alot of mids, and a slight roll off of the lows and highs. Great pickup in a strat with 250K pots.

Just curious, what guitar/amp set up are you useing?

I run into a Mesa Boogie Triaxis preamp and then into a THD Univalve for poweramp saturation (a bright amp). Just curious about the low mids because sometimes I have to scoop the upper mid range spike in some pups with a parametric eq and I prefer a lower mid range throaty sax-like tone.

SH5 Custom rules the low mids roost in the Duncan line from my experience....but she's ceramic.
