SH-4 or Other...

[jericho guitars]

Does anyone have any experience with the SH-4/JB getting muddy in the lows when you get down to Drop A or so?

Using a baritone, I love the tone of the JB in the low low's, im wondering if anyone else would choose the JB over a Black Winter or a Nazgul that seems to be actually designed for this. I feel the JB just sounds bettter, thoughts?

For my playing style, I don't like the JB any lower than C. Even at C, it is not as tight as I would like it to be. I much prefer the Black Winter, Distortion, or Full Shred for C and lower.

It's not that the tone isn't good, so for some styles I'm sure it's perfect. It's just not tight enough, especially as far down as A.

I'm not a fan of the JB below about D standard. Too loose for my tastes. I would rather a Duncan Pegasus or a BKP Blackhawk or something along those lines for alnico.

Considering the goal of the JB when it was made, it should not be a surprise. The BKP Juggernaught might also be an option to consider.

Depends on what music you play really. I can see it being too loose going that low.

But hey Joe from Gojira uses a JB and he sounds very tight. Although they use 5150 iii's and 6505's in the past.

I had a duncan designed hb102b and it had a nice rawr to it.

Check out Coal Chamber. It works for Miguel Rascón. I'd suggest Alt8, Black Winter, Dimebucker, Distortion or Full Shred though.
