Anyone know of a good one? Am I just dreaming?

Lil 59

duckbucker

I'm looking around I see some...that you guys mentioned

the JB JR sounds cool too

I want a really thick tone

I have JB Jrs in my mustang. They're pretty good.

JbJr is good in the bridge, Lil 59 neck/mids. Also try the ubiquitous Hot/Cool Rails.

Used to have a JB Jr, which is about to go on ebay as part of a loaded pickguard set, once I can get the photos online... Was a good pickup (had it tapped and switched independently of the 5-way on a strat) but ultimately got replaced with some tom anderson 14K Ohm monstertone style things... bit honky in places but good for leads.

Thanks all..............

wound up getting this

a Symour Duncan SJBJ-1b JB Jr for 35 bucks!

I think I liked that each pole is adjustable

I had a screamin demon and lil 59 in my mustang and hid them under the stock covers.

Oh that's cool

Carvin makes a twin blade HB that actually sounds really good and is not that pricey.

(believe it or not).

I don't like it. I'm going back to the stock mim.

I may get a set of vintage style Stratacaster pickups made by Artec thinking.....

thoughts?

I didn't mind the sjbj in the bridge but what I really missed was the old bridge middle combo

Shecter makes a system that you can buy (from other companies, too). Basically, the humbucker is turned into a single coil when you pull this new tone knob... knob/ switch combo style... Look around for it.

That's just a push/pull knob. That can be done on any 4/5 wire humbucker.

There are wiring guides available on Seymour Duncan, among other places for doing this on your own guitars. It's an easy mod, because Push/Pull pots can replace your pots on almost any guitar, the only limitation being the depth of the routes (push/pulls are a bit longer under the hood). They're really light to click in and out, and it really doesn't affect your guitar visually and it's almost impossible to accidentally switch it on most guitars, and probably actually impossible to pull out without trying. Don't be fooled into getting any specific "systems" for doing it, it's a funny and easy mod to do and you can easily get more sounds out of any humbucker equipped guitar!

You've seriously talked me into it... Next guitar project will have a few of these...

the single coil tends to sound like ass though.

squier 51's were shipped with a push pull volume knob

the split humbucker did indeed sound like ass

Was it the fact that it was a shitty pup or jus split buckers in general?

the pickup still sits in a box

not sure what i did with the vol pot.

honestly i think the vol pot sits in a box too because i tried to wire it up to something else and couldn't figure out what terminals did what because it doesn't look like anything in a SD diagram
