Members Birdman643 Posted October 17, 2017 Members Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm trying to decide on a replacement pickup for a Fender Deluxe strat. I found out the routing is HSH (Which is perfect because it opens up so many options) I've narrowed my options down to a Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB and Seymour Duncan TB-14 Custom 5. I can't decide which to go with. I play old school metal (Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Old Metallica), Punk (The Damned, Rites of Spring), some jangly pop stuff and even a little blues. I'd be running this through a Jet City 1x12 20 watt combo amp.I have a JB in an Explorer, which I like quite a bit, after I raised the pole pieces.I watched Keith Merrow's pickup demo, and the Custom 5 seems to have a tighter bottom end (Who doesn't like a tight bottom end, amirite?) But the Custom 5 seems to be more scooped in the mids than the JB. I understand that the guitar/ amp he's running it through would sound different than what I'm running. Would I be able to dial the mids back in at the amp?What does the forum think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
