Wound an interesting one

Well look at the Duncan JB. That's 16.4K. That's a real popular pickup. You don't need a high gain amp because the pickup is already loud.

I put one of those JB's back in one of my guitars and it will be coming out again soon. It is just too mid rangy for my tastes. Tried it through my Dual Recto, an AC30, and a Valve Jr., and not to my liking at all anymore. Funny how tastes change!

P.S. If you want to hear it Possum, let me know and I can bring the guitar over.

Greg you might try changing the tone caps in your guitar if you want to use the JB, amazing what a difference a value change makes....

Or stick an A8 or ceramic magnet in it. I wound myself a JB clone and it's way too dark with an A5 in it.

or try an A6 in the JB.

I also wound a PAF-style pickup with an A6 and it sounded like total ass. Way too bright and harsh. But the mag seems to work really well in high ouput pickups. It's not dark at all nor does the mids dominate.

From my tests, an A6 tends to be more on the bright side....even brighter than an A5...

The pickup that I did is very articulate ...very tight on the low end without any mush and the pinch harmonics that I'm pulling out of the guitar are to kill for.
