New Seymour Duncan Jupiter Pickup

[Zoobiedood]

Since it is a Custom Shop pickup, and not announced until a few months ago, there probably isn't many in the wild yet.

The little bit I tried it at NAMM it was really unique. It had this almost single coil like attack to it that was really interesting with low tunings - I'm not quite sure I loved it, but it was NAMM with amps I wasn't familiar with.

Still waiting for Uranus pickup.... *Complete silence, picks coat and leaves*

I heard they sound like ass

Shit, this would make me seriously consider a pickup though

$160 is pretty steep for a pickup. How much better can this be than a Black Winter?

Its a sig though, so some juice goes to the artist maybe?

True. Without being able to get my hands on both back to back or see some very convincing reviews, it's a pass for me.

The sig pickups noaways seem to start off as custom shop pickups, so they're pricey as hell. If they do good, they get turned into production pickups like the Alpha/Omega set.

if they do make it a production model it's gonna be like a year or more before you see any sub 150$. that's what happened with the a/o set.

Looks like I'll be rubbing my junk on an BW set then.

Alright, so I was down at Axe Palace today and got to try it into an actual amp. It's SUPER tight, but it's not super thin. That really weird single coil-y attack was not there but it was a very articulate pickup. I dug it overall.

finally found another demo of the pickup

If I had a custom pickup for cavernous doom played with an HM2 clone running through a (insert brand here) practice amp mic'd inside a plastic bucket, I'd use that tone description.

I snagged a Jupiter last night for $100.

I just need to figure out what guitar I'm going to put it in. I already have too many sets as is and this isn't a complete set either so I need to get a neck pickup at some point too.

They all sound great. In the mix I think I prefer the BW, outside of a mix the Nazgul is my favorite. The Jupiter sounds like a Nazgul with little more output and more highs. Great comparison video, we need more of those.
