Jb(full size) vs Jb jr.

[greendy123]

I wondering if anyone knew how close a tone that a JB has to the single coil version callled the JB jr. I know it the JB jr. has more highs and less lows, but I want to know how similar they are compared together in a bridge.

The EQ or TONE is similar but the JB JR. is not as loud and powerful as the full size JB.

Still, it's a great choice for beefing up the bridge pickup position in a Strat.

Bass is also tighter on the JR, giving it a bit of a more "aggressive" vibe than it´s big brother. Kind of like "a bit of custom mixed in"

probably due to the ceramic magnet in all of the "little" series, no?

Possible, but the magnet is also significantly smaller, causing it to be weaker, so it´s a bit up in the air. I think it´s more because of the smaller formfactor, the pickup "works" from a smaller, more "definable" length of the string, and that also adds definition.....

Most likely, it´s some combination of the above

Yes. The smaller JB JR senses a smaller area of the string than the wider full size JB. Lew
