Some metal and slight punkish influence in here... Recorded a while ago before my PC died so my lead playing has improved since then a bit (I hope ), but the tones all there

All of it is my poplar hardtail strat A2 JB -gt; guitar port.

It gets this really cool gnarly growl IMO anyway, \m/

Hope you like the riffage tone

Great tone. Great playing. Heavy enough, but still articulate.
How did the A2 mag change the overall tone in that guitar?

Well, I recieved the pup with the A2 already in it but I can compare to the stock ceramic pup that was in there before.

The ceramic one had a more brittle top end where as the A2JB has a more rounded one. I have a no load tone pot in my guitar, and I find I run it almost always on 9/10 with the A2 JB, but with the old pup I turned it down to more 7/8 ish to tame the highs a bit sometimes.

The A2 JB still has a decent low end, probably not as much as the ceramic pup, but it has nice lower mids imo and doesn't sound thin; it can still pull off quot;chugga chuggaquot; if needs be. Bear in mind I don't like an overly bassy sound at all, so if you're expecting this to have the bass response of a C-5 or something similar, it doesn't.

The mids are where it's most different, the old pup was extremely aggressive in comparison. I guess with the output of the A2 JB it still has a bit of rock\m/ in it, but it seems more controlled and more useable for other styles as a side effect.

cool tone...like you said, nice n' growly....that guitarport sounds great for direct recording...

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I thought perhaps I could add to the knowledge of tone possible with a JB w/A2 mag. I recorded and posted this on the old board in October 2002 using a Peavey Predator (poplar body, maple neck/fretboard) through a Flextone 2 XL (XLR straight to mixer, no mics). I used the magnet from a Custom Custom for the pickup.

Nope, a lot of them are the old pup, stock ibanez pups, a few are a duncan custom..
