>>>>What about the SUB5? Same pickup as the SR5?
Seriously doubt it. SR5s have a phantom coil because of switching options. SUB5 is a 2 band banger with no options. It's probably similar to BPs "number 26" PUP, only that the strings are directly over the magnets:
That's my toss.

The Sub 4 & SR4 2eq pickups are one and the same, while the Sub five is completely different.

That's cleared that up...
...kind of.
So is the SUB5 pickup magnet alnico?
I'd know (possibly) if I had the chance to play one, but living at the edge of the world as I do, I've not seen one of these in the flesh yet.
