Masta' C's "JB Land"...your source for amazing JB pickups! :)

Ok, "JB Land" may be pushing it. However, I do have a few awesome examples of this classic, do-it-all rock and metal pickup that you won't want to miss!

You may have seen my other post here with a bunch of pickups listed, but I felt the JB deserved its own time slot. Plus, I have so many, this will help keep things organized.

Clarity under gain, incredible harmonics, a fluid soloing voice and one of the best split sounds of any humbucker EVER...what's NOT to love about the venerable JB?!

Well, the color doesn't affect the tone. Especially on those MJ wound pups!

I know. I have a JBJ in black and a JBD in double cream. I'd just like to have a double cream JBJ that some schmuck on Reverb doesn't want $350 for the privilege of buying.

Ouch! If you check a dictionary for the definition of "price gouging" that's probably what you will find.

I've heard the days of the SFC double creams are long gone. Don't know if that's true or not, but thankfully that's where I picked up (no pun intended) most of mine.

Yes, the SFC days of DC are over. I just keep my eye out for a very few models I still want/need in DC to complete some sets.
