Description


Le humbucker modèle JB est le micro de Seymour Duncan le plus populaire de tous les temps. Blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, thrash; le JB a toujours sonné juste, même si de nouveaux genres ont émergé autour de lui. Les graves sont riches et puissants, les aigus sont nets et détaillés, et il y a une accentuation dans les médiums-aigus qui ajoute du « crunch » et du « chunk » aux accords lourds, mais qui se traduit par une qualité chantante, semblable à celle d’une voix, lorsque vous jouez des notes simples ou des solos. Pendant ce temps, la sortie élevée pousse votre ampli un tout petit peu plus fort pour plus de résonance et d’harmoniques.

Utilisez-le avec un potentiomètre de volume de 500 kilohms pour une coupure des aigus, ou essayez-en un de 250 kilohms pour adoucir le timbre pour des styles plus doux. Il se marie particulièrement bien avec un micro Jazz ou ’59 en position manche, et certaines personnes aiment même utiliser un JB en position manche pour un timbre très riche lors des solos.

Fabriqué à la main dans l’usine de Seymour Duncan à Santa Barbara, en Californie, le modèle JB utilise un aimant droit en alnico 5, une plaque inférieure en maillechort, un fil à 4 conducteurs pour de multiples options de câblage (série, parallèle et bobine divisée), et est enrobé de cire sous vide pour des performances sans grincement. Offert dans un espacement standard humbucker ou Trembucker pour guitare à 6 cordes, ou dans une configuration pour 7 cordes à montage passif.

Caractéristiques


– Résistance en courant continu : 16,6 kilohms (chevalet)
– Aimants : Alnico 5
– Câble : 4c, blindé
– Type : Passif

Q et R


Question: How would this sound on a Kramer Baretta special?
- demandé le Apr 10, 2025
Répondre: Better than the stock Baretta pickup.

More output, more gain, but to get the best results you should swap out the wiring harness and pots.

Répondre: Highly recommended. I have two in as many guitars, and have been though several custom pickups I like a lot. If you like the option of a single coil sound, highly recommend a push pull pot off your tone control to switch. The JB has given new life to two of my guitars that needed a push over tehedge in clarity and power. Likely better tha the stock Baretta pickup.

The JB has time and again given my guitars the push over the edge they needed, while keeping a sense of clarity along with the high output. I dropped in a push pull pot on the tone control, and have the single coil option as required. This is a great option for mid-priced guitars that need an upgrade. Very versatile, and I pair them with the Jazz model in the neck position - one of the original mods, time tested.

Maybe not an HB for beginners but just might be THE HB for sound shapers on passive PUs. As everyone says, it's got a lot to tame. Which is more good. Because it means there's a lot to dial back rather than attempt to boost. Remember, you can't boost what's not there. My suggestion is to put in at least a fully open coil split switch, leaving the adjustable slugs active when on. I have a no-load dial for adjusting that phatness (helllo noise though ;) Now adjust the isolated lugs by ear, not necessarily matching lug profile with the other PUs, but by chord reactions. Obviously height is up to you, equal volume to the other PUs or its own EQ twinkle with its own dynamic range. I'm to understand the neck position and/or 250k pots helps some players. Which means others use bridge and other pots! Mines 250k on a closer to baritone colour range HSS. Crunch is the aim of the gain & all that gain has some of, if not the most nuance of all passive HBs. Volume, attack and PU height are such a broad play ground for how this reacts with strings. You see the comments, it's all true, until you make it false. And THEN, pure nickel strings epitomize the vintage moniker. There's always that soft edge to a natural amp clip or lower pedal gain clip. Lends to them creamy tone seeks in the neck. You can almost fake an active PU on the lows with cobalts, maybe a boost pedal to start the chains. You're in outter Tele country with a split coil bridge & cobalts (minor EQ follow up shaping). For my classic rock, rock, pre-nu metal, grunge & punk needs, heck yeahs. For the blues, well, fuse that with anything just listed. It's a bluesy (vocally nuanced) by nature.

I use these in most of my guitars and have never been let down and you can have your guitar distorted right out and you can still hear the notes clearly!... Beautiful clean sounds and very crisp and well thought out!!

Great pick up for better gain and raunchy distortion! Tech support was great as well to help with install. Replced the stock bridge pick up on my Ibanez RG 370, way better!

Sounds great clean, sounds great for rock. Does metal fine but not as tight as some might like, but a pedal will help that quickly.
Overall a great pickup.

Got a few of these in a Kramer Pacer( uncovered as stock pickup) and Les Paul( covered with SD cover) in the bridge position. Just the best high gain out there with focused mids. A classic tone since the 80s when many super strats ruled with JBs in the bridge.

For sounds that cut through & have warmth--and work well for slide as well, a JB works great. I have one in the bridge of a guitar with a P-Rail in the neck--and they work well together. They sound great series or parallel--mostly playing blues & blues rock on it

I heard only good things regarding this pick up. All true. A vast improvement over it's predecessor. Have the SD 59 Humbucker in another guitar. They're both amazing sounding units. Best upgrade I put on these 2 axes.

I have no idea the obsession of this pickup. The magnet is way too strong and pulls on the strings way too hard. It kills your tone and dynamics and hinders the sustain since the strings can't vibrate as well from the extremely high output overwound pickup. I would go for a regular 59' bridge pickup, its everything the JB should be and sounds way better under distortion and is not nearly as harsh and muddy as the JB. The JB is just not necessary for driving an amp, especially modern amps as this pickup was mainly designed for back in the day. I would only get this pickup if you are playing extremely high gain metal rhythm stuff where sustain doesn't matter but you need a thick compressed tone.. otherwise if you are playing lead or cleaner stuff the 59' or other low output PAF pickup is vastly superior to the JB.

There's a reason the JB has been so popular over the years. This pickup gives you all the clear cutting tones while still retaining the chunkiness you're looking for when playing hard rock or metal. It cleans up ok, but definitely not as well as something like a SD 59 or any single coil selection. The only disadvantage I've found is that it can be a bit "shrill". However, this is by design to help it cut through the mix. If you're just playing on your own, you may find it a bit annoying though. Either dial the amp settings, or as SD recommends, run it on a 250k pot.

The JB is a pickup that delivers in every music style possible. The response to harmonics and dynamics is unique, it just pops with anger. Many might critique about the cleans being too "glassy" and "thin", but ultimately it depends all on what your ears like or dislike. There is a reason why this has been labelled as the most popular pickup in the world and has been used on most 80s/90s records. If you want the "spongy brown sound" mixed with a cutting edge clear shredding, to a blues light crunch, then this is your middle ground pickup. Recommend.

I bought this to put in a cheap strat just for fun and it sounds great! Perfect if you want distorted green day-ish tone (because it is what green day uses). I also has a nice clean tone too! Also it comes with instructions on how to install it in a HH guitar. If you are putting it in a strat google how to put install the JB jr and go on images to find instructions. Amazing overall pickup! I used 250k pots and my guitar had a basswood body if you care

I use the SH-4 and SH-2 "hot rod" combination and the sound is awesome. The only reason I did not give a 10 is because nothing is perfect.

My name is Adrian Blaney lead guitarist for Tracenine. Gigging for Europe to USA. I've been using duncan pickups for years in all my guitars. The JB bridge pickup fits the bill of tone for me, from my Gibson Les Paul, bastardized Strats to my flying "V" and Carparelli guitars . I love the rich harmonics full out balls out yet I can dump my volume down and clean up my tone instantly. The Duncan JB come equipped with a wire cable allowing to " coil tap" or "out of phase" the way I wire my guitars are Coil tapped meaning with a push/pull or spst switch allowing me to shut one coil off giving me the single coil bridge position tone of a strat. I love this pickup with the output of about 16K, hot output !!!! Giving me what I need for the style of music Tracenine plays heavy chucky and growling mean with dynamics with slamming halts. I 've had my fair share of industry standard guitar pickups , I need the tools to build music and this is one ass kicking pickup I'll continue to use forever , Seymour Duncan JB check out their web page and look at the "tone chart" you wont be let down. cheers
