Let's revisit this one. I have an early '70s sandwich body LP goldtop that has been routed for a full size bridge hum. So far I have used the vintage '59 that came with it, a PG and currently, a CC. I have found all of them too bright. I am really looking for a FAT and mellow pickup. The CC is...

I have an early '70s Les Paul deluxe that has been routed for a bridge hum. It came with an old '59 in it, which I didn't care for. I put in a PG and I find it too bright in this guitar. This is a sandwich body Paul and heavy. I am looking for a very warm and fat pickup that does not have an...

Looking for a black one, preferably. Mike

I have a Tri-Boost from Build Your Own Clone that was built by the site owner. This is a neat boutique style boost pedal. It has three different boosts, a Germanium boost, Linear Power Boost and a Clean Boost. Plus, it has a full/treble mode. It gives you alot of different tones, but I really...

....I plopped one in my new toy last night (alder bodied superstrat with Floyd, mahogany neck with rosewood board) and it sounds great. I find it a little harder to squeeze off pinch harmonics than let's say, my '59/Custom hybrid or my Blues Saraceno, but with a small adjustment in technique...

Pre-Built Tri-Boost from Build Your Own Clone. This one was built by the owner of the site. Germanium, Linear Power Boost (silicon) and Clean Boost. Also has a Full/Treble selection for a total of 6 flavors of boost. Nicely painted in trans blue over a turned/brushed case. 9 volt or AC, blue...

I have a Custom/'59 Hybrid that is tremspaced. I believe that this one has a screw coil from the Custom and the slug is from the '59. It was originally double white and was painted by the builder double black. Some of the paint has began to wear on the edges. Not sure which magnet was used, but...

Just wanted to give all of us guys that have Saraceno Trembuckers a chance to brag about how great they are. I have had mine now since the spring, due to the recommendations from this board, and I still think it is a killer pickup that is way overlooked. Very similar in tone to my Hybrid...

New black Jazz neck, with logo. Purchased 3 weeks ago and installed once. Lead not cut. I am looking to trade for a more mellow neck pickup, I find the Jazz a little bright for my tastes. '59, Seth Lover, PAF style..something like that. I believe I still have the box as well. Let me know...

Well, I just got back from the damn guitar center. I had to drive an hour each way to Baton Rouge since the New Orleans one is still closed. Despite telling the dude that I had a ONE HUM CHARVEL, he gave me a damn '59 Neck pickup. I didn't notice until I got home, of course. The guitar is...

I have a NEW HB-102B from a Jackson Dinky as well as SC-101 from the same guitar. Also have a Jackson J90C with cover. The J90C is a ceramic bucker that came standard in '80s and '90s Jacksons and Charvels with passive electronics. It is a hot pickup and has a very nice tone. HB-102-$25 OBO...

I put the Blues Saraceno Trembucker in my Charvel today and all I can say is wow!!!! It sounds even better in the Charvel than it did in the Jackson and dare I say, it sounds better than the Tone Zone that I pulled out of the Charvel!! Of course, the Tone Zone sounds better in the Jacksn than...

I put the Blues Saraceno in the Jackson today. Major, major improvement over the HB-102. Just a more focused, smoother sounding pickup...with no mud!! I am really digging it. I A/B'd the Jackson with the Charvel with the Tone Zone in it as well. I would say the Tone Zone is a bit more...

Just curious as I had never heard of it before. I liked the sound clip and on Duncan's website it was a recommended pickup when I used their online pickup selecting function. Mike

Hello guys and girls, my name is Mike...new to the forum. Active on the JCF forum. Just got a Jackson DK2 with stock Duncan Designed pickups. It has the HB-102 in the bridge, which is based on the JB...of course. I find this pickup is really nice for lead work, but it is too muddy and undefined...
