I've previously had an EMG81 and DiMarzio Dominion in the bridge of my ESP Eclipse II. I found the EMG to be more gainy and scooped than I wanted, while the Dominion had a huge upper mid spike and crazy tight bottom end (unpleasantly so in terms of playing feel). While I sometimes miss a bit of that cutting upper midrange, this JB just has that wonderfully balanced sound and feel that's easy to play and sounds right. It's incredibly well rounded and has a great response that's neither too tight nor too loose. I find myself setting my amp and overdrive right at noon, with no need to compensate for anything. Honestly it's just a great sounding pickup and it's no wonder it's become a standard.

Today there are more Pick-up choices than hairs on your head and im sure many are good, but that wasn't the case when the TB-4 JB first came out. It hit the music waves with a fury and hasn't let up since. The reason for that is - its good real good great even, they got it right the first time. Because it gives you power but clarity definition handles pedals well or fine on its own, it sounds good to the ear no matter what rig/axe or even guitar ;:>) you use it with, I recommend it highly and im not very good, lol but the pup does fine!

The pickup that started all, for every kind of music you play. It has that 80's metal tone that you can't find anywhere else. I've put this pickup to a Alpine White color Warmoth Superstrat with a geniune Floyd Rose tremolo and it rocks!!!!
