That's why I bother Eric most of all on this forum. He's very well-versed in everything BKP it seems. :D He also wants to have sexy-time with my Les Paul, so I'm using that to bribe him. ;)
In any case, I used to use the JB/59 combo for a LONG time, but by chance I got a trade offer for another pair of pickups I had lying dormant. I got a set of Duncan Seth Lovers. I had no idea what to expect, and just let things "happen" so to speak as far as how I would try them. Well, I was blown away by how clear they were, especially under high gain. Through the JCA50H I modded for a friend, the OD channel was still totally nasty (in a good way) and aggressive, but SO much more clarity and openness. The cleans were much more crystalline and sparklier. I swapped the JB back in and the tone was just mushy and sloppy. I used to LOVE the JB, but not as much after using the lower output pickups.
So, initially I was looking into getting a Nailbomb or something with similar output. Eric had told me before that with a good boost, or just a strong amp, the RR, Mule, VHii, etc. would work just as well. Since trying the Seth Lovers, I totally agree and have changed my choice to the Riff Raff. So, yeah. Eric kinda rules. Haha.
