I like the Duncan Distortions and JBs.

TB-14 is good too as well as the '78 custom

[sully]

the 78 or a custom.

I have the JB in my Soloist and it sounds fecking brilliant, I'd go for that. I also have a Custom in my RR3 and a Custom 5 in my Epi SG (I'm a Duncan fan!) and both of those sound good in those guitars. But I don't think the JB can be beat.

I have a SEYMOUR DUNCAN JBJ from the 80's
supposedly 16K

There are several stories about the pick-up with the "JBJ sticker"

i agree. I've had a JB loaded soloist since September, and I've been very happy with it.

Yes, it can be bright, but you can control the brightness with playing technique / palm muting.
