i don't like Duncan pickups. used to have a JB and it did have midrange and balls, but it didn't have mojo and for some reason sounded really brittle.
i think Kinmans, Harmonic Designs, Gibson P90s, DiMarzio PAF Pros, Gibson Burstbuckers, and TV Jones pickups pretty much cover everything i like.

HAHA... Pooo, you'd probably get slammed by many ppl :lol: *dug first*
i recently changed my stock epiphone pickups for a JB in the bridge and a jazz for the neck...and i'm basically STUNNED by the change. the tone i got was SO different compared to what i had originally...esp the JB, absolutely yummy. Not only were notes extremely well defined, it removed the irritating heavy bottom end problem i originally had...and i must say that there is really some attitude in the pickup....nice strong midrange and sweet treble. damn happy

looks like you have your own preferences. some of us think that the JB is one of the lethal offerings by Duncan, it's fusion master Frank Gambale's personal favourite. he swears by the pickup, even after switching from ibanez to yamaha... 8)

the SSL should go into your strat. the JB Jr is best in a super-strat type guitar. IMO the strat would sound better with single coils...
there's not much tone diff between the JB Jr & the full-sized JB, unlike the Lil '59 & the '59. if you like the JB then the JB Jr would be ear candy too. the JB Jr though would make a great neck pickup, although it's forte is in the bridge position- lots of midrange clarity, less mush...

ok... i got the JB-Jr (1b) - ie for bridge. The guy who sold me basically told me it's 1b simply because they shortened the wires. lol.
btw will i encounter any problems if i install the SSL in the middle with stock PUs on neck and bridge? The resistances difference are quite big (6ohms and 15ohms).

Heyy..Was wondering lots of people talked about the Ducan JB. Well I tink lots of people are using it. What bout Ducan distortion? I really would like to know wat their exact difference are?
I went to the SD website and heard some samples.The duncan distortion seems to be brighter and have more oomph to it. ( I hope u know wat i mean)
The livewire metal humbucker is really nioce also.(from wat i heard at the website.Havent really tried it)Have ani got these in their guitars? Too bad my guitar hadnt got a space for battery or not ild have went for it.
