What are the Jupiters like?

[Rex_Rocker]

I'm loving the Duncan Nazgul A LOT. So much, I'm considering swapping out the 500T out of my Les Paul.

I'm interested in the Jupiters. I like a pickup to have an aggressive high-mid emphasis, a tight low-end rolloff, and a hot output. I don't really like "middle-of-the-road" in anything regarding pickups. I like a strong personality.

So how are these? How hot are they? Will they be able to keep up with the Nazgul and the Duncan Distortion (high output)? Or are they more along the lines of the Custom and the JB (mid-high-ish output)?

THanks!

I have the same question. I love "Rail" pups.

hm, it looks like they have a normal sized ceramic magnet and a brass baseplate. with the blades it's hard to tell (less eddy currents?, no keeper bar, etc.), but it seems more in line with the SH-5 output wise.
the dime and the L-500XL are probably hotter and brighter having less metal all around.

I ended up playing it safe and ordering another Nazgul, LOL.
