TB-4 JB Model Trembucker
Summary
Trembucker spaced version of the legendary JB Model that has
been the ultimate hot rodded humbucker for nearly four decades. A truly
modern classic.
Description
This is the
Trembucker (F-spaced) version of the JB Model humbucker. Designed in the
early 70s, the JB Model humbucker adds juice to the bridge position of
any humbucker equipped instrument. With its hot coils, and alnico 5 bar
magnet, this pickup delivers an unmistakable upper midrange attack, a
tight, articulate low end, and harmonically rich highs that can really
sing. The JB is the perfect bridge pickup for anything from blues &
country to the meanest hard rock & metal. Pair with the Jazz neck
model for the ultimate Hot Rodded humbucker set.Trembuckers have wider
pole piece spacing, perfect for symmetrical positioning under the
strings of guitars with a tremolo or wide spaced hard tail bridge (2 or
wider from the center of the Low E to High E directly over the bridge
pickup). Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the JB Trembucker
uses an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor
lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for
squeal-free performance.

Summary
A vintage-voiced, extremely versatile neck pickup that pairs well with most bridge humbuckers.
Description
The ’59 Model neck pickup is one of our most popular pickups
because it’s so versatile. It’s designed in the spirit of the original
P.A.F. humbuckers of the 1950s, with sweet sustain, full-sounding
chords, clear and bright attack, but we’ve made a few refinements to
slightly modernize the design and make it more adaptable to different
styles.
The ’59 has a full low end
which is great for adding character to your clean sounds and sustain to
your leads. The high end is slightly boosted for improved pick-attack
clarity and the mids are a little scooped for an open, smooth sound
that’s great for preserving the clarity of the individual notes in a
chord. Play softly and the mids and highs seem to fade back, but pick
hard and the note will be confident and clear. There isn’t a genre that
the ’59 can’t work within. It pairs nicely with a high output bridge
humbucker like the JB or Custom but is equally at home with more
moderate pickups like the ’59 bridge. And it’s a popular choice for
those with humbucker-routed Telecasters as well. And if you order a
four-conductor version for coil splitting, its single coil mode is
crystal clear.
The ’59
Model neck pickup is wound on Seymour’s Leesona 102 pickup winding
machine, the very one that was used in the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo,
MI in the 1950s. It comes standard with a long-legged nickel silver
bottom plate, vintage single conductor braided push back lead wire and
no logo.
