I wanted to know if anyone knows which player was responsible for using a JB for the 80's rock tone?
who was the first to discover the JB for rock and metal tones?

Re: who was the first to discover the JB for rock and metal tones?
I don't know if it was a player, but Wayne Charvel started using aftermarket pickups in his guitars, like the SD JB. Every rocker wanted a typical alder bodied/maple fingerboard/ rear routed floyd quipped strat, played through a hot rodded marshall- it was a formula that just worked, and Charvel was one of the first guitar manufactures to use them

I happen to love jeff's playing but i dont consider him to have a real heavy rock tone like some of the guys who use a JB pup
i was refering to players that used the JB like lynch,jerry cantrell,the guy in ratt,
dave mustaine, etc all the guys that get a pretty heavy tone with massive crunch and guts:bowdown:

With the question "re-qualified" like this, I´d be tempted to say Judas Priest..... But the question is who used the JB first in a heavy rock setting, so we essentially have to ask Seymour who the forst 100 or so JBs went to

priest? really?
KK used stock on his flying V and duncan singles on his white strat
and glen used a dimarzio super Distortion and paf in the neck on his SG and fender strat for years
they did not have JB's till the hamer guitars came into the picture years later?

i heard he does not use a super crunchin, high gain tone?
i think he plays relatively clean toned on a tele?
what i need a answer to is who was the guy that had the high gain and found the JB to complement it?
I would think george lynch or someone like that?
maybe a early charvel user?

Back in the 70's he very well may have used the Super2's. I don't know for sure about that era. I do know in the 80's he went to JB's, possibly around the time Vinny came in to the picture.JeffB said:
