JB or DD???

[El Dorado]

Well, I had decided on the DD/A2P combo for my new USA Custom, but I recently acquired a JB so now I don't know which one, JB or DD.
Here are the specs again:
Honduran mohagany dinky s body
hipshot hardtail bridge
two push/pull 500k volume pots to split each pup
3 way toggle switch
padauk neck (which warmoth says is similar to maple)
ebony fretboard
25 1/2" scale
3 + 3 tilt back headstock

I play through a Mesa Rectoverb head and 2x12 Mesa cab. The tone I'm after is a tight crunchy distortion, modern but not loose muddy nu metal
sh!t. I was listening to Alice in Chains today and I really dig Jerry Cantrells tone on songs like We die Young.

Dont want to be rude, but there have been elaborate threads about JB vs. DD.

Use the search thing, or see eg.

I am sorry. I copied them out of a PM and there was a bug with it.

Here is a correct one (i tested it personally)

Tough decesion bewteen the JB and DD. :22:

Last month I had to make the same decision. I doubted and doubted and choose..... the JB.
I had read so much good things about this pup, so I bought it.
No regrets.

But I think the DD isn't bad either.

Re: JB or DD???

i would say DD or JB would work fine my vote would be JB since every guitar i have/had has had one in it at some point and sounded great i think it would be killer in a mahogany body i had one in a mahogany flying v and it was awesome!

You can't go wrong with that JB. But, if you want that extra push and your amp doesn't go to 11, then get a DD.

Yeah, I'm aware of the search feature, but every guitar and everyone's setup is different so that's why asked. If it had been just a general question about which pup you prefer I would have just used the search function, but this is a specific question about a very specific setup.
