Hey man, I was just thinking about how you said you like the JB in the neck position. I love that pickup but I've never heard it in the neck. Sometime if you've got a chance, could you post a clip of it?

Re: Zerberus you JB necked weirdo
I'll try to record something with the Screamin' Demon in the neckposition of my V, as soon as I get my output jack replaced, you won't be able to hear much of it due to the buzzing it produces right now. We had a topic about the JB in the neck, but it kinda scared some of us off, so maybe Zerb could clear that up for us
Oh yeah, Zerb if you're reading this, what are you using the bridge together with the JB?Jackson USA '98 Custom Shop KE2 w/ Duncan TB-4 JB(b) & Jazz(n)

Re: Zerberus you JB necked weirdo
My personal PC is still screwed, maybe sometime this year Iīll finally get a chance to find out what exactly the problem is.
The JB@ neck is almost the exact opposite of ehat it is at the bridge, tonally. Excessively warm and smooth, probably too warm for most people.
And I use it with a Custom @ bridge, NeeraZerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

Re: Zerberus you JB necked weirdo
If you lower the JB a bit, the Custom is more than hot enough
The axe is at Manuīs place, so I canīt measure right now. But the custom is REAL close to the strings, while the jb is more or less flush with its mounting ring. Poles are set to match the fretboard/ give even string response on both.Zerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

Re: Zerberus you JB necked weirdo
I used to have a 59N/JB combo in my guitar, i didn't like the hight output so I reversed the pickups. The 59N went to the bridge and the JB to the neck in parallel mode. With this configuration the outputs mach very well. The JB in the neck makes a warm sound with a single coilish caracter, a very nice sound!!. And the 59N makes it a bright, tight and clear.

Re: Zerberus you JB necked weirdo
I've got a JB in the neck of my Strat... Actually I have the same combo as Zerb but with a Screamin Demon squeezed in the middle!
It's hard to describe the JB in the neck. It can be muddy on the lower strings, but not in a bad way, if that makes sense. It's not too bassy even with the bass cranked on my Marshall. With a 500k tone knob it can go from the most biting neck pickup imaginable (think Dave Murray of Iron Maiden with even MORE balls) to a smooth, warm, bluesy tone. I played this guitar in my school auditorium at a reasonably high level... and I got compliments from a load of musicians about my sound.
Quite frankly I love it; I can't see myself ever taking it out of this guitar!
