      Versatility? You played all Van Halen riffs on a pickup made for Eddy, all with distortion. No cleans, no tone button changes, no fingerpicking etc. I liked your playing, I liked the comparison between the pickups in an EVH distortion context.. but those 2 pickups do way more than you showed. Great personality, nice playing.. bad word choice.

      There was nothing versatile here. It was 5 Van Halen riffs, so that alone makes it not versatile. Then you add the fact that the 78 was designed to sound like Eddie's pickups, and the JB was not make it a ridiculous comparison with no versatility whatsoever. Maybe he should try 5 completely different songs and with different Amp settings, then maybe you'll both understand the definition.

    it's as if you turned the treble knob up a couple notches on the 78...so another way to get this tone I guess would be a higher pot value like from 500K to 1 meg...or an eq pedal or treble boost, or just a few notches of the treble on the amp ....

JB has Alnico V's and the 78 has Alnico II. For me, that's the ultimate way to know what kind of tone you're getting...look at the magnets used. The Duncan Distortion is Ceramic. Great Video!

    @monstrok 5 місяців тому

    As the owner of both a vintage (1987) JB and a newish 2021 '78 HB, my experience is that the JB really pushes the amp and the '78 works with the amp. The sound differences are subtle in the samples here but very noticeable when playing the different pickups through the same amp/settings. If you need your stock JCM800 to move into the super-saturated '80's tone zone, the JB is the way to go. If you're looking for a PUP that works great with a lot of amps, check out the '78.

  • @2yugen2
    @2yugen2 5 місяців тому +1

    Funny tongue in cheek video. I have the '78s in a Gibson Custom SG and I really like them. They sound very punchy and full, yet clear. I know they were inspired by Eddie Van Halen's pickup, but I hope folks know you don't have to just use the '78s for Van Halen stuff. They certainly do that well, but they work really well for lots of styles.

    Great comparison! There are definitely some use cases for the thicker sound of the JB... a power trio where you need to fill some sonic space... if you mostly play lead lines like Beck did... if you want to beef up a thin sounding guitar. For an all-purpose guitar, though, I'd opt for the more focused sound of the 78.

    The weirdest thing about it is, I think I read somewhere that Ed didn't like the pickup Seymour made him... And yet it sounds so perfect for Van Halen music! Even weirder, Ed actually used a broken JB in his 5150 guitar, and apparently on Fair Warning, but to me the JB doesn't sound like Van Halen.

    For combination in a HSS strat I prefer Humbuckers with lower impedance (59 or 78). I had a JB in the bridge position, but the loudness jump from sc to hb was always too drastic. Plus the JB sounds very middy, while 59-style humbuckers sound very transparent, a bit like a single coil, but not so shrill.

    It has 78! permutations of ultimate maximum versatility.

    This is the first of your videos that I've seen and it took me too long to be certain that you were joking.

    I tried the Arcane MR Scary pickup (it's their 13 just with a logo) and I wasn't that impressed. The I've had the Screamin' Demon and while it's different, It felt flat in tone a bit. Low volume room playing is not it's thing, and running it loud, the treble can cut you. Then I happen to buy an ESP MIII with the 78 in it. Man I fell in love. It has this singing quality, It's hard to describe. It just rings forever after you hit a power chord. Full bodied... it's now my fave pickup.
    I tried the pearly gates too, but it's not as full as the 78. It's as if it's almost got too much string separation...If that makes sense. I'm going to be pulling the Arcane and trying a JB, as I've never owned a JB, but unless something miraculous happens with the JB, I'll probably stick the 78 back in the ESP.
    Oh yea, that 78 kicks ass not only in that ESP, but same performance in these Chinese made Dean Michael Angelo Batio guitars which I hot rod for fun, as a cheap alternative. (their 15-inch radius necks are awesome for a cheap guitar, great playability, they're actually not bad for cheap guitars) No matter what that 78 goes into, it delivers. A good distortion and digital delay never hurt..lol
    What's funny is George Lynch recently did a post about his ESP Kamikaze Desert eagle LTD and highlighted how baddass the Duncan 78 that was in it. It's on the ESP website and he shows off the pickup and it sounds KILLER.

    At first I hated the jb, then I did a nice upgrade, 50’s wiring, Duncan pots, vintage sozo cap. This thing sounds awesome. Ohms at 18.4 which is high but it shreds

    All Joking aside it was good to hear the difference. But there was one flaw in the comparison. It seems that the amp gain wasn’t changed. I set up an amp for the guitar I’m plugging into it. The 78 has less output so you might wan’t to increase the amp gain a bit to where it sounds similar to the gain with the JB or just set them both where you think each sounds best.

      You are 100% right, but I would never change anything in a shootout like this. OMG. Can you imagine the pearl clutching that would ensue?

    The 78 did sound better but how can a bridge pickup alone be versatile?

    It's refreshing to see Aaron once again delving into the boundless possibilities the electric guitar offers. This channel was getting too much of the same. Also, the 78 rocks. I have never heard a back to back comparison before, but it seems like it removes that annoying buzz on the low end that the JB has.

    How does only playing Van Halen riffs demonstrate versatility???
