500T gets lots of good press around here. it was too dark in my gibson with 300k pots, but in the LTD (thinner body) with 500k, it sounds great.
whenever i go these comparisons, the Super D always sounds best to me. its just got such girth to it, yet it still has a nice snap as well (maple neck, maple board on that guitar) that would stand out well in a mix.
anyhow, thanks for the compliments. the JB has been in my explorer for nearly 5 years now, but with the recent additions of the 500T and Super D in my other main guitars, ive been really tempted to pull it for something else. i was gonna try all my spare pickups i have laying around, but then i remembered how damn cramped the explorer control cavity is and lost all desire to do 5 pickup swaps in there in one evening.
