    Duncan Designed P/J pups?

    Picked up a 90s Jackson Kelly bass, MIJ, and it has Duncan Designed P and J pickups. Tried to find info on them via google, bass forums, etc. and really just got “they suck”. Anyone know what their SD equivalent is?

    Help with a hum

    Here's some pix of the full guitar - and the pix don't do it justice, it looks so much cooler in person. Got the new pots/switch/jack and installed em yesterday. Same problem. Disconnected the bridge pup, no change. Reconnected the bridge pup and disconnected the neck pup. Same problem. Pulled...

    Anyone selling a Nazgul 6 string, non trem spaced?

    Want to try a 6-string Nazgul in a project I'm about to start up, but not sure it will work, so don't want to pay full price just to turn around and resell. Figured I'd check here if anyone has one they're trying to unload.

    Help with a hum

    My bass player does these killer guitar refinishes and just did up a BC Rich for me. I got the body and neck back yesterday afternoon and went to town reassembling it. Once I got all the electronics back in, it has this ground hum that someone smarter than me will likely know how to fix...

    Curious about a 39 year old pickup's behavior

    I got a cool 1983 Aria Pro ZZCT from a buddy recently who had just got it from an estate sale. When he sent it to me, he mentioned the bridge pickup seemed to have a wavering output issue. When I got it, I ran the volume and tone knobs to max and went to town. It sounded about as I would...

    Ibanez INF1/2 ... anyone know what they're based on?

    Had a guitar with the Ibanez INF1 & 2 in it for a very long time and did not like them at all and got rid of that guitar many years ago. I just played another Ibby with these in it and it sounded a lot better than I remember. Got me wondering what these are supposed to be based on. I have a...

    FENDER Deluxe Drive SSS set

    Edit: Title should read “Fender” not “Duncan”. Anyone have these/have experience/reviews of these? Just picked up a project single coil fiddle and want to swap out teh pickups. A local cat has a brand new set of these I can buy on the cheap, but figured I'd ask here for opinions and such. TIA!

    Good match for a Nazgul that isn’t a Sentient

    Need to put a neck pickup in a project 7 string that currently has a Nazgul in the bridge. I play mostly doom/death/thrash stuff, but like to have beautiful cleans to contrast the brutal gain stuff. I had a 59 in another guitar I liked, and have heard the Sentient plenty of times. Just looking...

    Nazgul in an Ibanez Sabre?

    Anyone ever put a Naz in an S-series guitar? O another thin, mahogany body? Bought an S7521 that has Quantums in it, but thinking I might swap the bridge for a Nazgul. I've had the Naz in a few basswood body Jacksons and loved it. But, just not sure how the thinner/denser body will affect the tone.

    Recommend a good 7-string neck pickup to compliment a Fishman Open Core

    I have a Jackson H7 Pro with Fishman Open Core's in it and love the clean tones with the neck pickup. I also have a heavily modded JS22-7 and I tossed an Entwhistle Dark Star in the neck just to see and it kinda sucks (it's a bridge pickup and in the bridge position the cleans are really awesome...

    Duncan Designed HB103 vs Duncan Distortions

    A few months back I picked up a Jackson Pro Series Soloist with a set of Duncan Distortions in it. Really sweet guitar and after a bit of fiddling, I was able to dial in a killer tone. Fast forward to earlier this week and I got a great deal on an SLX DX Soloist with a set of Duncan Designed...

    Easy signal flow for pickups?

    When I went to sound engineering school back in the dark ages, they pounded the idea that if you understand signal flow, you can always figure out the system no matter how simple or complex. And, it's always held true, even 25 years later. Coming at it from that POV, what's the simple signal...

    Schecter Custom Shop Apocalypse pickups

    Got a KM6 with these in it yesterday and really like them so far. Does anyone know the specs or have a link to a page with 'em? So far, they feel/sound like a slightly more aggressive/deeper Duncan Custom, which I love. Anyhoo, Google didn't bring back much on 'em, so I figured I'd turn to the...
