What players and reviewers say
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!”
On the Seymour Duncan Li'l Screamin' Demon (SLSD-1)
“I'd go with the Lil Screamin Demon as it will still be fat/thick enough for the styles you listed, but it'll mix with your neck and mid pickups better than the JB Jr.”
