Re: Duncan JB i love it but i hate it
It just always wants to solo. I don't like the way it cleans up or does rhythm playing, but plenty of people make it work. Really if all I did was distorted shreddy leads it would be my only pickup.
(Except I think pinch harmonics jump off it so strong they're almost like a regular fretted note.)

When I was B-tuned Metal Guy, the legendary TB-4 JBJ was my favorite pickup. It doesn't appeal to me much now.

There are two types of players:
People who play in a situation in which they need to cut through, this group is mostly lead guys.
People that don't need to cut through, mostly rythmn and headroom players.
The first group I find most often loves JBs, the second group I find hates them.

Re: Duncan JB i love it but i hate it
I always play clean and really like it for that actually. Thing is I have an A4 in it with A2 spacers so I get it to sound full for my blues playing. I like its high output, can get it to sound PAFish, or can get it to sound teleish or stratish.

Pretty much nails it for me.

I like the TB-4 in my G&L ASAT Deluxe. That guitar has 250k pots, and a coil split. Works pretty well for this old, classic rock and blues guy.

I recently picked up a Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor pickup which is based on Dave's unique JB pickup that has a tighter feel and more bottom end. I have it installed in my PRS S2 Standard 24 Satin and it really shines at both lead playing and rhythm playing compared to a JB I used to use.

Ok, every time I see you mention this mod... Well, my pants get pretty tight. So since my name is Clint, I Was hoping that common thread between us may inspire you to give me detailed instructions on how to get the materials for this mod!

Re: Duncan JB i love it but i hate it
Cool fellow Clint. It's the best mod ever, I love it. The A4 sweetens it while making it more even and still precise. Adding the A2 spacers fills it out output wise so it's never brittle and also adds some bass to it without making it spongy.
Here is the link for the A2 spacers:

You can get the 2.5" x .5" x .125" smooth A4 wherever you want but here are some at AddFx:
