Product Description
Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Humbucker Set - black SH-2n Jazz / TB-4 Trembucker JB
Application
SH-2n: Classic moderate output humbucker. Especially popular in neck position. Don't let the name fool you; it's not only great for jazz, but also country, blues, funk, classic rock and heavy rock.
TB-4: The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years. Great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. Trembucker spaced.
Description
SH-2: Provides an articulate and clear tone. Great for fast runs. The brighter tone has slightly less output and is a good match with most bridge pickups. When distorted, the tone is full and bright. Smooth sustain. Compared to the SH-1 '59 Model, the Jazz has slightly less output and a more detailed treble response. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.
TB-4: The world's most popular humbucker. Provides slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion. Goes from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the JB has a stronger treble detail. Some players use it with 250K pots to smooth out the highs. Comes with four-conductor hookup cable.
Complete setup
This set contains one SH-2 Jazz neck and one TB-4 JB bridge pickup.
Guitars
For balanced and warm instruments. Works especially well with mahogany bodies and rosewood fingerboards.
These are the amp settings:
|
About the Guitars: We used a '60's Classic Les Paul with a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. We kept the pickup-to-string heights consistent between each change of pickups. About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion�-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer. |
