JB in alder with 250k pots = win
what some people might call midrange honk, others might say cuts thru the mix like a hot knife thru butter.
JB is not the best for bedroom shredding, but its smashing when the band is smoking.

No additional winds on the DD or the C5. Like Foreigner calls it...head games.

True darth guy. But obviously there has likely been Eq'ing and other processing on albums. I was offering the sound "in the raw" Warren DeMartini's tone as a prime example puts the beauty and complexity of the venerable JB front and center!

Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
Nice playing and tone Wolf I can see why the 250k pots work for you for that type of tone. I'm more of a balls out metal guy so I like all the bite and aggressiveness of 500k pots...

Yeah Duncan actually designed the JB for 250k pots didn't he? So it's a mighty exception.

You could also try 300k like some Gibsons have.

Depends on the DiMartini tone in reference. Hasn't always used a JB.

But wouldn't it give too much emphasis on the High End? Especially with Alder and Ebony?

Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
It's not quite like alder is a bright wood. You might be putting a bit too much thought into it. Consider this....pots are relatively inexpensive, even the good ones. Find a 500k and a 250k in a good brand like Bourn or CTS. Then try them both.

Look man the bulk of DeMartini's recorded guitar sounds have been with a JB from Out of the Cellar to very recent RTM! You just want to be contrarian "Darth" whatever the F!
