Re: Jb Versus Custom
i voted custom... use it on a Ibanez K7 axe trought Peavey Studio Pro and Triple XXX...most of the time play thrash/melodic death metal (f.e. the haunted, death, metallica to name a few) and lately a lot of progressive (dream theater)
it sounds perfect to my (to my bandmates also) ears

Re: Jb Versus Custom
I was just having this debate with myself this morning. Last night my Soloist with the Distortion in it was sounding shrill to my ears, and I was wondering if I should swap out for either of the JB or the Custom that are sitting in other guitars.

Re: Jb Versus Custom
umm.. well, i got a JB in my alder SG (mah neck rose fretboard) it's cool, nice grind cool cleans and it cuts pretty nicely, but the heights can be a bit earpiercing at times.. i'd like o try a custom in it to see how that one fares.. so i cant really tell you one or the other

Re: Jb Versus Custom
Custom - I had it in in an RG570 through a flextone
It cut, and had a nice low end.
I was using the guitar for metal at the time.
SH5 metal demo
that was recorded aaaaaaaages ago (the guitar isnt even put together atm) so dont comment on playing

How do you define warm? JB is a very thin sounding pup IMO Very shy of lows. It does have a good mid spike, but definately not warmer and rounder.

Re: Jb Versus Custom
Les Paul Classic with solid mohogany body and maple cap, mohogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and a JB in the bridge. Tone to die for. I can't say enough good things about the JB and I wouldn't trade it for any other pickup. :smoker: Oh yeah, I play Blues, 60's & '70's rock and lots of southern rock.

Re: Jb Versus Custom
I've got a JB in my Ibanez Prestige (mahogany body, maple neck, flame maple top) and it sounds very open and airy IMO. Nice cleans, but I think this axe is taking away too much of it's brightness. Think JB with a massive amount of bass and mids and you've got my sound. Still an excellent shred pick up though. I am still dying to try the Custom, but I don't seem to have an axe for it right now

Re: Jb Versus Custom
It´s not the ceramics people like, but the way the pickup sounds. It has a very P.A.F.-ish character, particularly when compared to more "modern" pickups like the JB and the Distortion.
To try to subtly "find out" whether people prefer ceramics or not, I´d suggest the Polls "JB/Distortion" and "Custom-5/Custom". I´m sure the results would be quite different from here

Re: Jb Versus Custom
The custom seems to be a bit harsh and scooped imo..
I have to say i didn't play much with the height of the custom!
Yeah Custom has more bottom end. But I like the JB palmmutes it's less compressed. I liked the Customs palmutes too listen to Zerbs clip :headbang: but just not for my style.
Though the last days i didn't like the JB but i think i've found the problem: the pu was just a bit to high :smack: I am such a stupid guy :laugh2:
