Seymour Duncan Pickups - It's all about tone!

The JB Model TB-4 is one of Duncan's - and the world's - most popular pickups and provides the classic sound of a hot-rodded humbucker that we've all loved for the last 30 years. Boasting plenty of output without sacrificing tone and adding the right amount of harmonics, sustain, and distortion, the JB Model TB-4 is great for anything from heavy blues to heavy metal - with an emphasis on heavy! But excelling at aggressive music isn't all the TB-4 can do, as it cleans up nicely providing warm, sweet tones. The JB Model TB-4 is built for great tone!

Seymour Duncan JB Model TB-4 at a Glance:

  • Classic hot-rodded humbucker sound
  • Part of a complete Seymour Duncan pickup set
  • Seymour Duncan: one of the most trusted names in pickup design

Classic hot-rodded humbucker sound

The archetype hot-rodded humbucker for over 30 years, the JB Model TB-4 is great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. As the world's most popular humbucker, the TB-4 provides slammin' output while retaining singing highs, aggressive harmonics, and just the right blend of sustain and distortion. It easily goes from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. Compared to the SH-14 Custom 5, the JB has a stronger treble detail. Some players use it with 250K pots to smooth out the highs. The JB Model TB-4 comes with four-conductor hookup cable to facilitate complex pickup switching setups.

Part of a complete Seymour Duncan pickup set

The JB Model TB-4 is recommended for bridge position, and is often paired with a neck pickup like the SH-2n Jazz (Seymour's favorite) for versatility or a SH-1 '59 for P.A.F. tones. The TB-4 is for balanced and warm instruments, and works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.

Seymour Duncan: one of the most trusted names in pickup design

Quite simply, it boils down to tone. Seymour Duncan has spent the majority of his life refining the art of creating pickups.

Couldn't be happier

I was looking at upgrading the pickups in a jackson dinky but wasn't sure what I should upgrade too my sales engineer Gregg Block suggested this paired with lil 59s and my God does it sound so much better I will probably end up adding these to my other guitars as well
Rated 5/5

Jack of all pickups

Rated 5/5

My fave!

I use these in all of my guitars except for a couple that have seymour duncan Invaders in them. I have an extensive collection and I like to have as much consistency as possible plus that great full tone that cuts!
Rated 5/5

A tried and true classic

If you're looking to improve your guitar's tone, you would be HARD pressed to find a better just put it in and see what happens pickup. The JB is friendly with basically EVERY amp, EVERY style of music, EVERY guitar wood. It is my go-to suggestion to folks. I always have one of the trem bucker (use this on anything that is NOT a tune-o-matic style bridge) and one humbucker (use this on everything that has a tune-o-matic style) in stock. This is a great pickup. There are better options for specific purposes, but this is a "does it all, and does it well" pickup.

Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB bridge pickup

Love this pickup-awakens the sleeping beast!! So far, sounds great on bodies made of Ash, Alder, and Mahogany/Maple. I recommend that everybody tries one.
