Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
ah.... that 'Ignore List' is such a relief. as is the ( hint -> ) 'report post' button ( <- hint ). guess while some people live their lives, others are parked in the parent's basement, rubbing peanut butter over themselves, spending pretty much their entire time in a new environment alienating people (hold on... is this guy related to Pepe?!?) ... starting off by throwing stones at "moderators". wow. and telling people a 250k on a humbuckers sucks balls. really? then taking things out of context and making personal attacks against several forum members? class act. figuring there are always people on boards that use alternyms or get people to start trouble for them to save their 'name'... who's taking bets on this character?
check it out, daddy-o, you should be solid with any one of the more common models listed. even if you miss out on the opportunity to exchange the model if you don't like it, it should hold value well. if you get a pre-owned model in good condition and keep it in good condition, you might can even turn it without losing more than the cost of shipping.

Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
since Evan deleted the next post of mine down the line, I'll re-state the essential content here:
I was done with the guy in post #68 at 11-20-2013, 12:03 AM. then I came back the next afternoon and saw the guy was taking shots at just about everyone... so yeah, I didn't like seeing him popping off at forum bros and I started throwing a few jabs his way. this was also about the time I was on the phone with Scott Miller with a question, so I asked him if he could get someone to come take care of this thread. don't know why it took someone about 6 hours to get around to it (WTH, SD social media peeps?).... same as I don't know why Evan hasn't responded to my PM from this same day about this thread. truth be told, the thread should've been zapped and the OP given a chance to re-start it.
sure, I can fare for myself just fine, but when I saw someone create an account that day for what appears to have been not much more than to be a jerk to people, I didn't like to see what was happening for lack of any mods or admins showing up. I didn't need anyone to get my back, although fallsoffthebonetone stepped up of his own accord. to be frank, it was a little disappointing to see so many people saying and doing nothing and then some come back to be condescending about it after the fact.

Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
Also I wouldn't say there's no "informative info" what so ever.
From this thread, a newbie would have learned:
1. Common complaints about the JB include a looser low end and bright upper midrange cut.
2. People can tame the brightness by switching to a lower potentiometer value.
3. You can change the way a pickup responds by changing it's polepieces.
4. Warren Demartini was an avid user of the JB.
5. Seymour Duncan's JB has developed over the years and originally was designed with an Alnico 2 magnet and 250k pots while the more modern application is an Alnico 5 magnet with 500k pots.
6. Pickups respond and sound different when used at bedroom, recording or performance level volume intervals.
7. Tone is subjectively good or bad.
8. The output of the pickup reflects how the pickup cleans up and stays clean sounding.
9. Alder, ebony, and maple are brighter sounding tone woods while basswood is warmer.
10. Pickups respond differently in different woods.
11. Versatility is a desirable trait in guitar pickup.
12. Some pickups are designed to produce a more compressed tone while others are designed to preserve dynamics.
13. Active pickups such as the emg 81 and 85, utilize a battery to retain a clearer and louder signal.
14. Some people prefer warmer bridge pickups and brighter neck pickups for tonal balance.
15. You can experiment by swapping out humbucking pickup magnets for different tonal results.
16. Alnico 2 yields a softer tone and warmer midrange while alnico 5 is more powerful and has more high and low end.
17. The Full Shred is a cleaner and more focused alternative to the JB.
I think that's pretty good

Re: JB in an Alder body, with Maple Neck and Ebony Fretboard
I wasn't implying that I didn't learn anything, in fact, I got quite a bit of info from this Thread. It was just that a certain user who shall remain nameless but his initials are 'dinnocenzo-guitars' decided to start a pointless argument that took up two pages. Just wanted to clarify that.
Anyways, so the JB will probably need to be tweaked a little in order to get a good balance of tone with the specs my new guitar has.

LOL… JB in an alder body with a maple neck and ebony fretboard… that's crazy talk. Crazy talk, and most of the production U.S.A. Jackson models.

I actually have one of those that I've still not even tried. lol
It should give you something like a DD-lite.

I would suggest SD JB or BK Holydiver. Great pickups for guitars with strong presence.
