This guy puts out my kind of content! I really thoroughly enjoy his cap comparison videos, along with his pot modification stuff, etc.
Saw this and thought it was really cool! Basically an Ox box that you can build yourself for less.
The old slash 2's have flat mids.
That being said, if you want to see how a magnet swap might change your pickup, this is one of the best comparison vids I have found:
Check out Planet Tone pickups. The DiMarzio touts itself to have more of a 50s quality to it.
If you want something that is like a vintage humbucker, but in modern HD, I would recommend a Legacy pickup. I have an open faced Legacy and it is tight, crunchy, but has that top end vintage warmth...

I would bet the new wiring added a bit of warmth to the top end and midrange.

I actually don't use Neutriks myself, but that is what they went with. A lot of people dig them though.
I will check out the G&H connectors, as I noticed BTPA has them as an option for their cables.
I have been using the Switchcraft connectors and have found them to be quite neutral, in a...
