So both which is sound more better..
the price is in what range...compare with dimarzio super 2 or 3 series...which better..
sorry because i never hear Seymour before...
 
Seymour are one of the best off the shelf stuff, imo. The rest like Fralins or Skatterbranes must import or something. And i'm with the hotrails. :D
 
SO..bro..
how you feel the hotrails....thedistrotion clear and nice..
The hotrails price is higher then the JB ....
And why you get it what is the price and install yourself ?
 
hmmm...what is better bro??

I think "better" is very subjective man....i personally prefer JB jr cos it's more versatile to me.....

I agree with jellybean, i think duncans are the best off the shelf and very reasonably priced also....

tried both and installed it in my strat with the same reason as you. Getting humbucker sound...asked the shop to install it for me
 
DiMarzio Tonezone S!!!!

Anyways, regardless of what single coil sized humbucker you use, pay attention to the pot values you are using. Otherwise, the pickup might sound "odd" to you.
 
Yor..

I hear from youtube ....no bad for the both JB and Hotrail ......
i already asking my fren to help up see can get on cheap price...
i like distortion .....

bro you install both in your strat ???
in Malaysia the SD JB selling around 200+++

Add On wanna ask for the Dimarzio Tonezone is most on distortion sound ...??
because the price very cheap ...

I don't like the Tonezone. But the Tonezone S is a different story. Yes, Dimarzio pickups aren't expensive to begin with. And the tonezone S does very well at clean, split AND distorted. Just make sure it's paired with a 500k pot.
 
o means i shold go with SD JB....more cheaper and good sound...
the hotrail price will more higher then JB ?
will shop can get the reasonable price ?
