Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

[sscovill]

Might be a dumb question, but is there anyway to find out if this guy is using the Screamin Demon TB12 in combo with the SH12 in the bridge?

This is the exact sound I'm looking for!


Thanks,

During the video he only uses the bridge pickup.

Not trying to sound like an ass...but how do you know that?

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

His selector switch at the top of the guitar was pointing down, indicating that the bridge pickup was the only one activated.

most metal bands use the only the bridge pickup for rhythms. that's what gives it that crisp, tight sound that you're hearing in the video. if you used the neck pickup it'd sound bloated and undefined. use whatever you want for leads though, it comes down to personal taste for that and/or what sorta sound the lead needs.

Also, look at the pickup selector switch. it is in the down (bridge) position through the whole video.

Oh. Sweet. I'm obviously not that observant. I was planning to put the Demon in the bridge but didn't know yet what to put in the neck spot.

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

The demon is NOT a high output pickup. Unless you have a pretty wicked amp to coax your gain out of you may be dissatisfied.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

Anyone familiar with how the TB12 sounds in the neck position?

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

Tb12 and sh12 are the same thing. The TB stands for "trembucker" which means the pickup is wider. A TB12 would not typically be used in the neck.

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

But in theory, it would sound the same as the sh12.

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

Suggestion for type/style to use in the neck. I typically don't play any lead. Simple, but clean meaty sound. Like old AC/DC, Crue, Metallica, Judas Priest, etc...

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

Hmm... sh2 is always a solid choice. I like the 59 in the neck. You could put a demon in the neck and a jb in the bridge.

The world is your oyster.

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

That what I had been planning, but then thought...hey, what about a Black Winter in the neck? Too much??

Re: Seymour Duncan You Tube Post

Usually you go with a high output pickup in the bridge and a low output pickup in the neck. Like a DDb and a 59n. Or a JB and a Demon neck. Or a Calibrated set of pickups (59b and 59n for example). The black winter is way hotter than the Demon.
