Hey, I'm looking for a new bridge pickup for my DK2 as i find the JB too bright and shrill ( Is it just me?).
Body: Alder
Neck: Maple
I'm looking for a nice Djenty sound.
No, it's not just you, I found the JB very nasal & thin in alder Jacksons (both bolt-on & neck-thru).
The Holy Diver is a
great replacement & gives the guitar all the "chunk", "punch", power & "body" that the JB lacks. The fat midrange really helps in a relatively bright guitar.
Having said that, it's a very warm pickup & perhaps a little rounded if you're planning to detune. For djent, I'd give serious thought to a Nailbomb instead, or perhaps even a Painkiller (I have a Painkiller in a KV2, it's so tight & aggressive)
