Warren DeMartini - Seymour Duncan RTM vs JB

[dsuigdsf]

Hello!
In early years Warren was using single JB with single volume pot.
In which year did Duncan create RTM?
Does anyone know what potentiometers he uses for his guitars?
When duncan was doing RTM, Warren said that wanted more heat/warm, so quite possibly he used 250k with his JB.
I have very similar guitar to him and I want to get closer to his tone.

I’m also interested to know this.
I haven’t compared the pickups in person but the clips on YouTube of the RTM sound fantastic. I just wish it weren’t so expensive.

Whatever year I was at Duncan watching Warren/Duncan sign them. Must have been 2011

Really 2011? I thought that was before. Now I know that my favourite albums it's JB, and sometimes AH-1 Robbin's Crosby, because he used both, JB and AH-1.
You know what the difference between JB and AH-1? I read that are very similiar

all the classic ratt songs from the 80s are JB. I was gonna say the RTM was introduced around 2010-2012 (off the top of my head), so 2011 is probably right. the AH-1, if i remember correctly, is a jb with an alnico 2 magnet and 2 rows of screws. Jake E Lee used it as well.

Funny, Allan Holdsworth didn't really use the AH-1 for long, if at all. He liked a neck 59 (with double screws) in the bridge.

RTM is Infestation-era Ratt; JB is classic-era.

This is me & Warren at the SDUG Dinner/Jam. The next day he and Seymour sat at a table and signed the back of a big pile of them. Kicking myself for not buying one then...

It was created possibly around 2009 , Warren used it on 2010s Infestation. Here’s a 2010 thread
