If a Distortion, with an A5 is a JB, then a Distortion neck with an A5 should be a JB neck . . . right?

Artie

Is it really true (for sure) that the DD is a JB with a ceramic? If so, i guess you'd be right...Mark

I think the original JB neck was the Jazz, right?

I think it might be interesting though. Maybe using the DDn V as a bridge pickup would work well.

The quot;JB Neckquot; per se is the Jazz model.

But I understand what you´re getting at.. if there were a JB neck, would it be wound the same way as the DD neck w/ an a5...

ArtieAhhhahhhahahh, i answered you the question with my suggestion in another thread (splitted single-coils) but did not read THIS post yet!

It occured to me since I have an A4 mag coming from Lew to try out in my 59. Which will leave me an A5 to play with. Thought I might pop it in there to see how it goes.

I have had a DDn and a JB in the neck of the same guitar. They sound pretty much the same to me.. FAT FAT FAT

Thats good to know. What I like about the DDn is, its the only 'bucker in the Duncan line at 12k. Its kinda special.

I feel that the DDn is very special and over looked way too often! It sounds great as it is but, I would love to try one with an A5 magnet in it!

After I get it in and play with it awhile, I'll loan it to you.

Sweet!

I've always wondered about the JB in the neck - but have been kind of frightened. But after reading the quot;Why do we hate the JBquot; thread I can see how it would be cool in the neck. However, it might still be a bit hot- but that DD conversion sounds like a great idea! And I would like to see a couple of 10 to 12K pups. There just isn't much in that in-between region if you want something for a middle on a three HB or a hot-but-not-scorching neck pup.

you got the screamin' demon @ 10k with A5 Mag, if you're looking for alternatives

This is more an quot;experiment of circumstancequot;, than a need.
But, a Screamin' Demon is another pup on my quot;to-doquot; list.

Artie, let me know when you're ready to try a Demon, I may swap you for the DDn w/ the 5 for a spell to try...
