Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

Its by far the worst sounding Piece of SH1T I have ever put in a guitar!!!! The only time a JB sounds great is hitting the bottom of a trash can!!!!

I am serious!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, come kick my A$$!!!!!!!

I'll beat him too it!

I don't like the JB at all, despite what I used to think. Not tight enough in the low end, not quite aggressive enough, and not thick enough; Not to mention the mid spike....

Thats right!!!! Tell em Slayer!!!

BTW Jeff and Erik, I am now AWAKE and the JB still sucks a huge DONKEY D**K!!!!!!!!!!

Dave...come on bro. They are not that bad, in fact they are a pretty good pickup. There are hundreds of killer tones that were made using a JB!

Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

I tell ya what....I would rather have a DiMArzio superD any day of the week in a paula than a JB.

Just gotta make sure you are playing through a VERY FRIGGIN LOUD Marshall that doesn't have a ton of gain in the first place (JMP, 800-2203, NMV/Plexi).

I've heard and had some great tones out of them that way. But I've yet to hear a JB in a Paula I like.

Donkey D%^&.... :laugh2:

Lemme guess, bolt-on neck?

Makes all the difference in the world with a JB (to my ears anyways)

How do you figure? I am always right becasue the JB always SUCKS!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!

Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

And the Giant Wakes Up I do understand why many dont like the JB.But I personally love it. Maybe if I had put it in another guitar I would have hated it too. But I love the way it sounds

Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

Too much anti-JB sentiment on the fourth page. I'll balance it out.

**** YEAH!!!!! JB!!!!!!!! JB!!!!!!!!! Freaking GREAT PICKUP!!!!!!!!!!

Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

Er ... uhhh ... what new and exciting can I bring to the party?

I recently put the JB in my custom-made guitar: mahogany/maple body, mahogany/rosewood bolt-on neck, Gibson scale, two humbuckers. A fookin great pickup for that guitar if you ask me, and I have tried quite a few in that one! Right now I mate it with a PGn and boy ... the PGn has much more treble than the JB!!! But anyway, as with most good pickups, the guitar you install them in matters the most!!! A perfectly good pickup can sound killer in one axe and total crap in another.

If it's not clear yet, I am a JB fan, holy crap!!!

It's a great pickup...especially in a guitar with only a bridge pickup. That way you can tweak your amp to sound killer with the JB without having to compromise your tone settings to also sound good with a neck pickup. :smack:

It's Duncan's #1 selling bridge pickup year after year after year and it has stellar single coil and series tones: very Tele like in those modes.

It's not my personal favorite, I'll admit that. It's a little to loud for my tastes, my ears get tired of that upper mid peak and I like the 59B and Custom Custom more. But no way is it a piece of dung!

Every time I have installed one I have been blown away by the JB...although, as mentioned, I ultimately prefer a HB with a little (or alot) less output.

But seeing as it's Seymour's favorite humbucker, you know it's gotta be good.

The JB has alot going for it and if a player doesn't like it it's just a matter of personal taste.

Seriously JB haters: ignore your neck pickup sometime and just dial in a killer tone for the JB alone. You'll see what it's all about.

Re: JB is a freakin GREAT pickup

The only time I can ignore my neck pickup is when I have something other than a JB in the bridge! LOL!!!!!!

Lew, I have seen whats its all about! I have had this pickup in every new guitar I have ever picked up and I have used it through every new amp I have aquired. Whenever I have aquired a new peice of equipment, I have always got a JB to try to capture some of this magic everyone always speaks of! I have yet to find it! It still sounds like a 4ft high pile of steaming dog poo!!!! If the JB's bass strings sounded worth a damn it would be a killer pickup!!! The 3 treble strings is where its at! I like to use all 6 strings when I play!

To be quite honest, I have played alot of pickups that I have not liked but, I can see how it may work for someone else. I cant really find any redeming quality's in a JB and it boggles my mind how someone could actually like it day in and day out unless they do nothing but solo's!!!
