What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails (SHR-1)
“Sure, it has some low end punch and a dominant midrange.”
On the Seymour Duncan JB Jr. (SJBJ-1)
“The JB Jr sounds like it has great crunch on the bass, good mids but way too ice-picky treble.”
“The JB Jr sounded bright, almost glassy and the mids seemed, well nasal, if that makes any sense!”
