Recommend pickups for hair metal tone

[Mr Metal]

I've heard Warren Demartini has used JB for years (and now his signature SD CS WDM model)

Jackson J90-C, without question.

The Duncan JB is similar in some respects.

To be honest, I always thought George Lynch's early tone was...well, it's not "it" for me, so JB sounds like it would suit me better.

The guys on the Duncan forum are always talking about changing magnets yourself, apparently it's not that hard. I wouldn't know but if it's cheaper to just get a JB then fit an Alnico ii magnet then you could look into that on the Duncan forum.

+1 easy to score an Alnico II and swap magnets.

But I find the regular JB (TB4) perfectly nails the tone on those Ratt songs.

As I mentioned a few posts up, Warren supposedly used the JB during the Ratt heyday So it would make sense for the JB to nail that classic Ratt tone
