I cant imagine a better pickup for 80's hair metal than a JB. I know alot of people disagree with me. but I think they are greatly misunderstood pickups. they shine IMO. but tone is a very subjective thing.
Do you have other guitars that give you the tone you are looking for through your current setup?Last edited by devastone; 06-07-2011, 10:27 PM.

I would do something like this before buying new pups, you have a good set in there now. A tone knob is a oft overlooked feature on guitars. They are very useful imo, i don't like not having them. That or you could simply get a lower value volume pot, check the one in there now with a multimeter and try one with a bit lower value reading. A 500k is rarely 500k more like 400k average, but check what's in there now.Last edited by Trem; 06-07-2011, 10:33 PM.
