Jake's work with badlands was really past the 1980's hair band era. Kurt Cobain killed the Glam era hair band thing in about 1989.

From an interview from that era of Jake's career, HE said that he was using a Duncan Allan Holdsworth Prototype pickup (which was a JB with 2 sets of screws and an A2 magnet) in the bridge position. Try a JB with an A2 magnet in a superstrat and see if does not nail the Bark at the Moon/ Ultimate Sin tone.

I could see the A2 Holdsworth being used on BATM as is it a pretty warm tone but Ultimate has to be an A5 JB as the tone on that album is really bright and just cuts

I thought DeMartini swapped A2s into his JBs fairly early on.
