Seymour Duncan TB4 JB Model Trembucker Pickup Review

Before buying this PU i read a lot of reviews.Some said it was a hot metal pickup other said it was bright.I find this not to be the case.As a mater of fact, I purchased this because of the way it sounded on the Seymour Duncan web site.I was looking for a smooth sounding PU with a little heat, and I think that's about what it is.I put it into a mahagony guitar with a maple top (Carvin DC127) with an SH2 in the neck, and I have coil split switches on both PU's.I also have another DC 127 - alder wood - with TB6 and SH6n.

I use the guitar with the TB4 for stuff that is more mellow, R&B, light to moderate rock, and the TB6 for the heavy stuff.The TB4 is kind of high output, but not close to the SH6.The TB4 has a good sound, not harsh, especially not bright sounding.Those who say it is good for metal must have there drive turned way up, in that case, yes, it would be good for metal, but I find this pickup to sound good through a nice clean setting (I have a Carvin V3 combo and Digitech GSP1101).

I had to make a few extra settings on my setup to boost the output of this guitar when using both the TB4 and SH2n in combination because the band drowns me out, not so with the TB6 (even in single coil mode).But that said, it is a nice PU, better than the ones that came on the Carvin.And there is a wide range of sounds I can get with the different combinations of settings using the coil split switches.
