The reason I asked is that I usually go for hot and compressed bridge humbuckers. But I created this one and I think it came out well from that standpoint but also from the view of people who like clear, uncompressed, vintage response, the same ballpark as the 59/Custom hybrid basically. And if it wasn't appealing, I would be genuinely curious as to the specifics of why not, I'm not gonna take it personally if you're not gonna go out and get the pickup. It's being played clean like the title says, not through a modeling amp. It's my $500 Peavey tube amp on 1 watt that I use to get clean breakup and my $1500 twin reverb used as a cab. Also recorded perfectly which is why it was kind of weird that you said it's hard to tell what the tone was. How exactly would you showcase the tone better? With a distortion box on?Last edited by Clint 55; 10-04-2020, 11:11 AM.The things that you wanted

i think the edge of breakup sound of your peavey just sounds harsh which made me think it was some cheap modelling device, i'm not really a fan of edge of breakup tones in general and i think your pickup might be a little too hot for that type of tone, seems to work better with single coils and low output humbuckers.

I like my Screamin' Demon SH-12 it's a mid output alnico 5 magnet. plus you can adjust the pole pieces (hex and filister) on each half. sounds best more close to the strings than away. I installed my JB on a Les Paul that was Chambered out. i think the chambered cavity's help tame the JB. More space's to breath and more places for all that Big JB tone to resonate and even out.Last edited by jhansen; 10-19-2020, 06:04 AM.
