Re: Dual Screamin Demons advise?
As a fellow Lynch fanatic I can tell you that you won't be disappointed in the screaming demon. I use it to play all his Dokken and early Lynch Mob stuff. As far as its tone just think of the self titled Lynch Mob album. I don't think that it doesn't sound vintage. I love jamming Van Halen with it and can nail his tone as well. So try it out and let us know what you think. Most of all jam some Lynch with it man.

If you need a little more low end from the Demon in the bridge, raise the bass side of it closer to the strings. I use one and have no problem with enough low end. It's one of my favorite Duncans. I'm also looking to go dual Demon in my Frankenstrat.

Awesome thanks! Dual demons just sounds badass. I'm pretty excited to try it. I don't need a lot of bass end to be happy but I do like to hear the notes detailed. Just felt like the jb was squishing everything together a little too much for my liking.

I've always used the Screamin Demon in the bridge position--my dad has it in a Mahogany bodied Charvel (single pickup) and I have it in a Basswood Ibanez–both sound awesome in the bridge position. I have it paired with the Dimarzio Liquifire in the neck--my absolute favorite combo of pickups. I know you said that you wanted to stay in the Seymour family...but just a thought, the Liquifire is a medium output has sounds phenomenal both clean and dirty.

When I said vintage I meant like a Dickey Betts or Warren Haynes tone. Since I have it in a Les Paul, it is very hard to nail those tones with it. That is not to say you can't use it to play that style, it's just a bit more modern than vintage sounding.

Re: Dual Screamin Demons advise?
I'm a latecomer to this thread, but I was going to affirm that the Demon would be great in the bridge also. And I agree with everything that you said about the Demon in the neck, one of my absolute favorite neck pups.
I know you have already ordered the demon for the bridge, but if for some reason it doesn't meet your expectations, for the music you like to play and for the utmost in versatility, you might consider the P-Rails. I've been using them for 7 years now in a couple guitars. It's never been out of my #1 guitar and I play similar stuff as you do.

Re: Dual Screamin Demons advise?
PS: that was a great vid demo of the Demon in the bridge that you posted. It really tells (and shows) it like it is. The Demon is really a fantastic pup and a sincerely underrated and misunderstood pup (I think that is due to its unfortunate name...gives certain misconceptions about it).

Yup. That Strat has a JB in the bridge. That's all sessions from the Wicked Sensation album recordings, which is before the Demon was released. He may have had some prototypes, but that right there is a JB. It was documented as such back in the day and on his old web site.

Re: Dual Screamin Demons advise?
From what I have heard all the Dokken stuff was Duncan Distortion and the Lynch Mob albums were Screamin Demon. The Wicked Sensation album came out in 1990 and there are magazine ads from 91 advertising the Screamin Demon. How long in development was the Demon??? I'm sure George had versions of it way before it came out and he had to been in talks with Seymour for at least awhile developing it... It's not unlikely that he used a Demon for the Wicked recordings. Also that pu in this video sure looks like a Demon to me...

Re: Dual Screamin Demons advise?
Ok so status update. Dual Screamin Demons is a pretty sweet setup. The pickups seems so much more balanced and the new bridge pickup is definitely what I wanted compared to the JB. The notes that once seemed to be muffled together in a cluster of Middy slush are now tight, clear, and defined and the EQ seems more balanced and natural and less spikey and forced with the JB. Even though it is slightly lower output, it doesn't really seem to get in the way and can definitely hold its own with distortion and hard rock tones. All the notes are clear, punchy, tight, and with really nice well-rounded. Also, because I have the Screamin Demon in the neck, when I switch pickup positions there isn't a weird and sudden EQ change or blatant output difference between the neck and the bridge. By simply balancing the pickup height they work very well together and are EXTREMELY versatile in the cleanest to most heavily distorted tones. They also switch between series/split/parallel very well too. This guitar has a significant quiver of tones now.

Are you using the full sized Humbucker or a lil SD in the neck?
