Seymour Duncan Pickups - It's all about tone!

The JB Model TB-4 is one of Duncan's - and the world's - most popular pickups and provides the classic sound of a hot-rodded humbucker that we've all loved for the last 30 years. Boasting plenty of output without sacrificing tone and adding the right amount of harmonics, sustain, and distortion, the JB Model TB-4 is great for anything from heavy blues to heavy metal - with an emphasis on heavy! But excelling at aggressive music isn't all the TB-4 can do, as it cleans up nicely providing warm, sweet tones. The JB Model TB-4 is built for great tone!

Seymour Duncan JB Model TB-4 at a Glance:
  • Classic hot-rodded humbucker sound
  • Part of a complete Seymour Duncan pickup set
  • Seymour Duncan: one of the most trusted names in pickup design
Classic hot-rodded humbucker sound

The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years, the JB Model TB-4 is great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. As the world's most popular humbucker, the TB-4 provides slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion. It easily 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. The JB Model TB-4 comes with four-conductor hookup cable to facilitate complex pickup switching setups.

Part of a complete Seymour Duncan pickup set

The JB Model TB-4 is recommended for bridge position, and is often paired with a neck pickup like the SH-2n Jazz (Seymour's favorite) for versatility or a SH-1 '59 for P.A.F. tones. The TB-4 is for balanced and warm instruments, and works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.

Reviews

Insane in a 335!
I installed this in my Epi ES-335 (the stock pickups were great but I wanted to try something fun- went with the Tembucker for the slightly wider spring spacing my Epi has, and it works wonderfully). This thing is MASSIVE in this guitar! The JB was made for a 335! Hot, clear, and very VERY balanced. This thing bumped everything great tonally in my guitar to 11 - no exaggeration. Don't overlook the classics from SD!
Couldn't be happier
I was looking at upgrading the pickups in a jackson dinky but wasn't sure what I should upgrade too my sales engineer Gregg Block suggested this paired with lil 59s and my God does it sound so much better I will probably end up adding these to my other guitars as well
Jack of all pickups
I have this in two of my guitars. I love it, always sounds great.
Impressive Pickup
The Trembucker exceeded my expectations. Physically, it was a perfect fit for my 1984 Kramer. It sounds massive to me. I'm hearing a full rich tone that I had not heard from that guitar before. Furthermore, the mounting frame came with this pickup which was important to me. I realize that everyone has different tastes and perspectives regarding pickups, but that is my two cents worth on the Seymour Duncan Trembucker. Five stars.
My fave!
I use these in all of my guitars except for a couple that have seymour duncan Invaders in them. I have an extensive collection and I like to have as much consistency as possible plus that great full tone that cuts!
