Which Duncans?.....

[Mac48]

I am slowly (well not so slowly actually) climbing my way up the Jackson Food Chain
I started with a PS2 with Jackson pups which I thought were good
I now have a 2001 DK2 with Duncan design pups which are better
Is it worth looking out for a newer DK2 with actual Sd's in......
what are your opinions on the pups guys??????
Thanks in advance

Seymours are great. I have sh-4 and sh-2 in my Schecter. JB has the outpout and high mids I was looking for and Jazz delivers some realy nice clean tones.

slap some duncans in your DK2. real duncans will sound better than the duncan designed, no doubt. you can pickup used duncans on ebay or here in the classifieds pretty easily.

youd probabyly be happy with a seymour duncan jb

I read somewhere someone thought the JB sounded like "cocked wah". No wonder Tonemonster likes it so much

The JB gives me the bite I need for my lightspeed galloping riffery. I use an Invader in another guitar, but it's not as clear sounding, though it does have some massive bull nuts.

"low band balls"

[tonemonster]

lightspeed galloping riffery..

is that what the kids call it these days?

[Axewielder]

The last time I tried to gallop and riff and the same time I threw out my hip.

I won't lie, it's a gift

Since you're pretty close, perhaps we can shatter some bones sometime.

JB is a nice, well rounded pick up..

[MartinBarre]

The JB is indeed a great pickup. You could also look at the DiMarzio Super Distortion.

ok, well I have to admit I can tell the difference between the DDs and SDs, we were runing dd invaders in the warrior and sd invaders in the kelly and it just always had more balls and squealability....

Erm, as for pick up choice I think its vastly down to the way you play and the sound you wish to create.... Personally its all about 2x SH8 invaders for me.... though I am currently falling in love with the full shred neck pick up, but hate massively on the newer jbs (the old beck jbjs were evil though...) and the George Lynch Screaming Daemon doesn't and isn't...

Although Invaders are ridiculously high gain output, if you spend the time to set them up well you will always reap the rewards, there are some rather mediocre samples on the SD website that give a pretty good idea, but I shall attempt to find a vid or soundclip of the invaders in action!

Dare say I had a DiMarzio full shred in a phantom Rythm Master back in the day and that was pretty savage if memory serves correctly...... any chance of a vid or soundclip of that in action?
