Well Duncan lovers, is the 7 string Distortion worth buying, or is it a heap of toneless crap? Is it Alnico or Ceramic?

then he'll have a JB...if you don't like it you can swap the ceramic for a Alnico 5 and see if it fixes it up for you.
I think the Duncan Distortion is the worst pickup Duncan makes.

I don't like the Distortion because it has no bass response. It is all mids and treble, and way to harsh to my ears. However, playing styles have a huge impact on how a pickup reacts. Jacksonplayer swears by that pickup, and he never sounds harsh or brittle. Then again, his playing style makes a JB sound like scooped mud.
