I have been a Die Hard EMG 81 User Since I was 15 years old. as of recently I've really wanted to switch to something that is warmer & less compressed. I love the JB But was wondering if there is a similar pick up in the SD line that would be a warmer, slightly beefier version of the JB? I play really aggressive music, so I don't want to sacrifice chunk, crunch or lows.

Re: Pickup Suggestion
I'm still kinda new to the terminology of pickup tones, but have you checked out the Antiquity JB? There is also a different version of the JB in the custom shop called the Brobucker I believe (not sure if that's the right one) that might work too. If you don't mind spending a bit extra you could always get a custom shop model

Re: Pickup Suggestion
Welcome to the forum!
I don't know if you will achieve what you want with really high output passives. I'd recommend the medium-ish Sentient/Pegasus combo. It is a good set if you are coming from playing actives, and it sounds amazing with all levels of gain.

Re: Pickup Suggestion
Its the Eclaire. Less winding, less compression and an Alnico 2 mag.
Re: Pickup Suggestion
With the Eclair, the neck is an under wound jazz, but the bridge is an overwound JB according to the description on the CS site. But yeah, that was what I was talking about. My input on this is Antiquity JB, Eclair, or Concept set, since they are all based off of the JB model.
