25's Nemesis
Hello all.
I have in my possesion a zebra JB. Now, I've tried this JB (and others) in all of my guitars, with different magnets and pots and with different wiring schemes. It has gone from terrible to good sounding, but I have never been blown away by this pickup in any of it's guises.
I have decided to ship it back to Duncan and having it rewound. Apperently, I like low to medium output pickups in all of my guitars. The hottest I'll go is the CUstom line up and that's depending on the guitar.
I have a couple of thoughts on a possible wind for this JB:
Option 1:
Brobucker Specs. Due to unforseen financial difficulties (traffic ticket), I was not able to order a Bro. Perhaps this is my chance.
Option 2:
Pearly Gates ++. I love the Pearly Gates, I love the Pearly Gates +, and I'll probably like a Pearly Gates + overwound about 15-20%.
Option 3:
Parallel Axis Blues spec. I like the description of this pickup and everybody's review of it, but I don't like the looks of it. Besides, if it's wrapped around the JB's bobbins, I'l be able to use it in either my Hamer or my LP. I don't have any Floyd equipped axes, so this might be my chance to try one out.
Option 4:
Overwound Antiquity. Take a standard Antiquity spec and overwind it 10-15%.
Option 5:
S Deco. It's already in duncan's CS lineup and apperently it works. 12k in my LP would be a ton of fun.
Option 6:
Benedetto A6 spec. I've been very, very curious as to how these pickups perform. I would love to get one, but $140 is a bit steep for a pickup that not only I have never heard, but one that nobody I know has any info on. A rewind would be considerably less expensive and would gvive me a chance to try what could very well be an excellent bridge 'bucker.
Y'all take a vote and decide for me. All of these options are too appealing for me to choose amongst them. All help would be appreciated
Oh yeah, if you guys think that there's a pickup or spec out there that the JB would be worth rewinding to, please let me know. :burnout:
