Yeah i would say that too. I would never buy a PA2 separately and put it in my guitar though...thats just unneccesary for me!

Me too but obviously, it was for Alexi/Roope because they were going into a GP-1000.

i posted this a while ago but got no response...heres another try, anyone have any particularly handy info on changing pickups im going to put some EMG's im my guitar but dont know how.....is it worth trying on my own or should i just take it to the shop??

Thanks for your kudos and for the advice.. as i told you it is not mixed yet.. only eq while recording.
After having recorded all instruments + vocals im gonna mix it real good.
I tell ya, it'll kick ass.
Here's another one i did, but we did this, when we were not too good at recording and mixing, now were better.
Feel free to check it out:

It's all to do with the wiring. If you take the back plate off and take a photo of it and mark on it where the wires from that pickup are coming FROM and where they're going TO, then you can't go wrong.

Take that pickup out, put the new one in, and then match the wire from the new pickup with the photo you took and figure out which one is which (there'll be 2 or 3 little wires coming out of the 1 thick one) and then solder them to the places that the old pickup was.

Have they really ever used PA2? Just curious. Btw how does a JE1000 sound different? Anyone tried a MM04?(i think ive actually asked that one before

To put it simple: The JE1000 is not just a simple Volume boost, it also boosts certain frequencies(most notably the Mid ranges, there are several switches you can use to change the sound of it).
From what i have heard though, there is no true bypass with the switch on a JE1000, so even though you get considerably less gain, it never takes away all, you always get a bit of colouring from the JE1000, though im not sure if this is true, as i am yet to actually try one.

Yeah, it's really like that.

depends on how much knowledge in electronics you've got.
could you solder together simple circuit of lamp 2 wires switch and power supply (like battery) if yes you can change the pickups your self as well.
