To get right to the point, I had a Mo' Joe lying around that was begging to be wrenched on. So I took out the stock A5 mag', put in a roughcast A3 and aired the northern bobbin (the one closer to the neck). I'm flat floored with the results! I didn't have any idea it would sound as mean as it does (lots of growl, a bit of a 'smokey' feel to the high notes when overdriven). The last time I put an A3 in ANYTHING it was neutered, but this is a whole new animal! I'll report back when the honeymoon is over.
