A top notch pickup

Comments

When I heard my First Jb pickup, I was like "oh my god", it's simply the BEST pickup I've ever tried. With the Jb the key word is definition... there's a lot of it, and I like it, you can hear clearly every "click" of your pick thru the string (I play mostly with Hi gain tube amps, so that's very important to me, also harmonics came out naturally in a nice way. I use it for metal mostly, you can hear every down stoke riff so clearly, it's amazing. It's also a great also for classic rock, indie, hell you can play any style with this pickup!
For me it's THE bridge pickup.

Liked about it	Extreme definition with hi gain(very clean sound) Nice harmonics Versatility
Didn't like	Nothing

Overall satisfaction:

Good pickup, but not for me.

Comments

The JB is very common pickup and sounds good in many setups. I've owned a couple of these over the years, one was installed in an alder body Kramer, and the other was installed on a mahogany Ibanez. I'd have to say I preferred it in the alder body. Though, that guitar also had a maple neck, and was quite old. It had a nice balanced tone in the alder body. Lots of output, no muddy low end, or shrill high end. My second attempt with the JB was in a mahogany Ibanez RG. I didn't like it at all in this guitar. The guitar had a maple top, maple/rosewood neck. I just found it muddy, fuzzy and had an annoying midrange sound to it. I know enough to say though that this is not because the pickup is a bad pickup or anything, it just didn't work well in that guitar.

Liked about it	Good amount of output, nice high end. Price was good, installation was very simple. I'd possibly buy it again, for another guitar.
Didn't like	There's nothing to really not like. It's a preference thing. It'll either work for you in your setup or it won't. There's nothing wrong with it in any way. Some people prefer Dimarzio or other brands, some like Duncans. I'd say try it for yourself and decide.
