question about the duncan 7 string JB pickup

How's Seymour Duncan's 7 string JB's sound compare to Dimarzio's tone zone? Which one is more suitable for playing Petrucci's stuff?
Thanks

question about the duncan 7 string JB pickup

From what I remember Petrucci used to play with a Tone Zone and Humbucker From Hell before he went with the Steve Special and Air Norton.

question about the duncan 7 string JB pickup

My opinion is that the JB is the best pickup ever. High output(with Alnico magnets instead of ceramics! YAY!), boosted treble and bass, and a nice mid because of the alnico magnets. So I'll prefer it over any Dimarzio.

All I know is that ceramic is known for having more bite and a pretty bright tone whereas alnico's have a warmer, more balanced tone. This rule sure doesnt apply to all pickups but this is what have known.

question about the duncan 7 string JB pickup

But be carefull, some 6-string Dimarzio pups have non-ceramic magnets, but their 7-string counterparts have ceramic magnets. I don't know if that's also the case with Seymour Duncan pups. I had also read in a review that because of this difference the 7-string versions of some pups don't sound like their 6-string counterparts. I would recommed you to try the pups if possible. Otherwise you may get disapointed.

question about the duncan 7 string JB pickup

There are some mp3 samples of the JB in my RG-2027 here:

http://yourpage.blazenet.net/rab1111/

I recorded them using a POD straight into my computer. *I highly prefer the JB over the stock RG-2027 pickup.

One thing I've noticed is that alnico magnet pickups pick up more noise & hum than ceramic.
