Seymour Duncan Jb Model - Trembucker Bridge - Black

Cost almost as much as the guitar, but worth the money. Make my $150 Fender Squire sound like a $600 Stratocaster. You'll have to drop anouther $40 on some Wilkenson Strat single coil set to even out the sound. The JB is Hot and the original Fender singles were not.but sound great with the wilkenson,s.

This model is the most used replacement humbucker in the world for a reason! Provides tight, punchy lows, warm midrange and extremely crisp, well defined highs. If you like Hard Rock or more traditional Metal this is a must have! If you like some of the more alternative styles of Metal where you pound out power chords as fast as you can and get that muddy sound people scream to this is not for you. It will expose your skills! If the guitar you are putting this into is already somewhat bright sounding again I would look at another model pup. For guitars made with woods that create a lower range naturally this is for you! I put it in an ESP Mystique in the bridge of course along with a Duncan SH1 '59 PAF in the neck and it sounds like a dream now! The JB was Mr. Duncan's favorite pickup of all time. He built the first one over 40 years ago for Jeff Beck to try and he loved it. If your guitar has a mahogany body, mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard like the Mystique, whoa! I've used most famous humbuckers ever made, Dimmarzio's, custom made PRS Dragons, EMG's, and various other Duncan's as well. Even played the famous EVH Wolfgang guitar for a few years with two of the famous EVH Wolfgang Humbuckers in it and I can honestly say this sounds every bit as good and even crisper highs IMO for less than half the price! The harmonics you can nail with ease and has fantastic sustain as well. Great for rhythm and lead as well. This pickup has been used and is still used by many famous guitarists and for some of the most famous solos ever. Jeff Beck, Warren DeMartini, Dave Mustaine, Joe Satriani and that ever so challenging Bark At The Moon played by Jake E. Lee himself using this pup. I Remember You by Skid Row, that famously beautiful solo, yep uses the JB. Many more artists than I could possibly remember. It's the most widely used bridge humbucker on Jackson's Soloist series guitars as well. Sounds great clean as well. Very versatile as well for most genres of music so you won't have to switch guitars very often while playing live. I mostly play Hard Rock and Traditional Metal. AC/DC, Aerosmith, GNR, Skid Row, Ratt, Def Leppard, Pantera, Ozzy, Metallica, Eagles, Dokken, DIO, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, Bullet For My Valentine, Megadeth... This pup on the right guitar can nail anything along this style of music plus so much more! If you play Death Metal and some of those muddier darker sounding Metal spin offs where you like to scoop the mids this is not for you. If you like what you've just read do not hesitate to buy. I'm gonna swap a few more bridge humbuckers out with this model. Not recommended for use in the neck position.

This Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB was the perfect finishing touch my Donner project guitar I bought a $150 Donner HSS "Seeker Series" about a month ago. Thought I’d roll the dice. I knew when I picked it up and played it that it was a diamond in the rough. It needed several upgrades and a bit of set up work. New Hipshot staggered Locking tuners and synchronized trem system took care of the tuning stability. I kept the stock single coils but the stock bridge humbucker was just tolerable and not very inspiring. I chose this Duncan humbcker because I knew it was responsible for so many of the great Super Strat sounds I have heard growing up trough the late seventies and eighties Plugged it straight into my Stage Right 50 watt tube amp ( no pedals ) and Wow what an amazing sound! This is the first time I have heard the tubes driven so well without the need of a pedal. I have an HSS Fender Strat,, while the stock pickups sound great on that guitar, I'm already planning to swap out the stock bridge humbucker for another Duncan JB. Absolutely love the sound of this pick up!

This is a classic high-output pickup.

10 points!!!

I am a mediocre amateur guitarist who has played for less than three years with no instruction. I like to try cheap guitars because I can justify the expense if I get a dog, unlike a four-figure axe. For another $80, I can drop in a S-D JB4 or Duncan Distortion and see how the guitar REALLY performs. This particular JB4 went into the bridge of a used ESP-LTD M10. The M-10 has a pretty good setup and playability, but I knew the bridge was a bit tinny, hollow, and in distinct. I won’t go into detail where You-Tube will give you a much better demonstration, but not only does the M-10 sound better with the JB4, it is about 20% LOUDER—always good for volume options. Having installed two S-D pickups vs. Three other no-name pickups, the S-D’s have better packaging, better perceived product quality (like the non-metal wrap, thicker wires, better quality mounting hardware), and better instructions. I’m not enough of an ear-expert to objectively rate the difference between a $80 J-B and a $15 Kmize, but at least I can say my two JB’s have been guaranteed improvements; where my Kmize pickups were 50/50 on improving the guitar. Maybe it was the quality of the guitar I put the Kmize into? In any case, I’m happy with my S-D pickups and will continue to consider them for bargain-guitar pickup replacement. Righteous, dude!

Before buying this PU i read a lot of reviews. Some said it was a hot metal pickup other said it was bright. I find this not to be the case. As a mater of fact, I purchased this because of the way it sounded on the Seymour Duncan web site. I was looking for a smooth sounding PU with a little heat, and I think that's about what it is. I put it into a mahagony guitar with a maple top (Carvin DC127) with an SH2 in the neck, and I have coil split switches on both PU's. I also have another DC 127 - alder wood - with TB6 and SH6n. I use the guitar with the TB4 for stuff that is more mellow, R&B, light to moderate rock, and the TB6 for the heavy stuff. The TB4 is kind of high output, but not close to the SH6. The TB4 has a good sound, not harsh, especially not bright sounding. Those who say it is good for metal must have there drive turned way up, in that case, yes, it would be good for metal, but I find this pickup to sound good through a nice clean setting (I have a Carvin V3 combo and Digitech GSP1101). I had to make a few extra settings on my setup to boost the output of this guitar when using both the TB4 and SH2n in combination because the band drowns me out, not so with the TB6 (even in single coil mode). But that said, it is a nice PU, better than the ones that came on the Carvin. And there is a wide range of sounds I can get with the different combinations of settings using the coil split switches.

I bought this pup for my frankenstrat build and WOW!!! Glad I finally pulled the trigger on a JB I have an EVH PAF clone in my kramer and the wolfgang neck and bridge pariah's (which sound great btw) in my wolfgang and the JB is my favorite out of those. Great lead tones that sustain well and don't immediately start to fade off when playing high up on the neck. The bottom end isn't super deep but it does pack a punch especially with a good crunchy tone from your amp. This pup isn't super hi gain and that what i love about it. It doesn't sound thin at all. Very clear tone. You have to put a little more effort into your pinch harmonics compared to a higher gain pup but not much more. I wired it up with a north coil split and the split sounds amazing as well for being a split humbucker. Overall great pup. This is a great sounding pup and I understand why it has lasted the test of time.

todo genial

This is a great pickup, I've installed it on on several guitars as a replacement for stock pickups. It pairs very well with the Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck as well as the Dimarzio PAF Pro.

I have a cheap Yamaha ERG-121C, which in terms of body and build is OK but sounded horrible. Was thinking of buying a proper guitar, but decided to give it a go with replacing the bridge pickup which was loud and terrible. And wow, it just came to life sounding soooo good - I am not buying another guitar! I would say this is the classic indie sound that you get from Tele or perhaps Jaguar/Jazzmaster, just beautiful.

Acquistato per sostituire l'Humbucker di serie della mia Fender Player configurazione pickup HSS con ponte Floyd Rose. E' un ottimo pickup che si abbina bene ai 2 single coil della Fender. Non c'e' assolutamente nessun squilibrio di suono data la natura mista dei pickup percio' su questa Stratocaster calza a pennello. E' un Ottimo Humbucker con cui ci suoni un po' di tutto e comunque il Web ne e' pieno si recensioni finemente dettagliate. Io ci faccio dal Blues al Rock all'Hard Rock senza problemi e lo reputo uno dei miglior Humbucker su cui e' difficile non essere soddisfatti. La questione pickup si sa, non e' semplice da gestire, in ballo ci sono tante variabili, il tipo di chitarra, i legni usati nella costruzione e non per ultimo ovviamente il genere musicale che si abbraccia, ma con questo Humbucker di norma ci si fa un po' di tutto percio' e' comunque un buon acquisto dato anche dal prezzo di Euro 89,41 pagato a Gennaio 2021. Sono pienamente soddisfatto e penso anche la mia chitarra che ne fa bella mostra in foto.. 😉

Ces doubles micros sont indéniablement ce qu'il manquait à ma guitare! Ils sont parfaits et puissants. Attention cependant au son clean pas forcément adapté car trop puissant, peut faire saturer le canal clean (mais ça dépend sur quel type d'ampli). Micro polyvalent et super poiur du rock/hard rock et métal
