I just had a Duncan Custom installed in the bridge and an old Jackson J-50 BC installed in the neck position of a 90' Charvel Fusion Plus-ash body, rosewood board, 24.75" scale length. The Jackson pup was designed for the bridge, but I found an old Jackson pickup brochure over on Alien Nation...

For classic rock, hard rock, and 80's Hair Metal in a Fender Classic Player HH Jaguar. The Jag has spin-a-split knobs, so i need good single coil tones too. I know this is the Duncan forum, but I have to ask.

The bridge position Seymour Duncan JB in my Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang is dark, muddy, undefined and compressed. I cannot currently get a satisfactory bright, cutting, crunchy overrdriven sound from this PUP. It sounds as if the tone control is rolled off, even when it is dimed! Does anybody...
