After trying out lots of pickups this is the one!

I have installed this in a Gibson Flying V reissue (Mahogany body, Rosewood Fingerboard) running into a Marshall SL5 combo. it's vintage output put does not mush out when used with overdrive pedals. Remains clear and articulated with what I can discribe as as 'sizzle' on the top end, I find the alinco 2 magnet adds warmth and gives it nice dinamics. I mostly play 70s Classic/hard rock KISS, Ziggy stardust, Thin lizzy and a bit of Lenny kravitz.

Pros: Vintage voice with a nice open articulated sound with a nice midrange growl (when used with my v).

Build quality is what you expect from Seymour Duncan.



Cons: it's not high output but from my experience I prefer vintage because I can add gain etc with pedals.
I would say the bright sound and 'sizzle' is not for everyone.

I live in the uk and have never had a single problem with any order from Thomann and won't hesitate to order from them again, great product selection, advice and competitive prices!

Great, Fat, Chunky sound
Gerry Lane 09.08.2019
I have a 2001 Texas Special Strat which plays great, but it didn’t have a real punch in the bridge pick up and the Texas Special bridge pickup was very bright, and it would take your head off if I didn’t have the tone rolled halfway back. The Seymour Duncan TB-PG1B works perfect for me.
It has a really nice warm, fat, chunky, bluesy sound and although it doesn’t have a very high output (which I particularly like because it sounds pretty balanced with my single coils) it takes you right to the edge and for Classic rock/Southern Rock/Blues Rock which I play…..the Seymour Duncan TB-PG1B is the perfect pickup for me.

Great for classic rock sounds

Installed this and wired it so it works as a single coil and Humbucker with a click of a switch and it all sounds perfectly, matches the tone I wanted. Works perfectly together with the SD Jazz neck pickup

da brzzelts sehr angenehm

Habe mir den Trembucker (Bridge) für eine IBANEZ Prestige (Mahagoni) mit Ibanez Edge Tremolo zugelegt, da mir die Originaltonabnehmer (wie immer bei Ibanez) nicht zugesagt haben.
Da ich in anderen Gitarren schon mehrere Seymour Duncans und auch EMGs verbaut habe, viel meine Wahl diesesmal auf den PEARLY GATES.
Spiele übrigens Rock (clean bis Hard Rock) auf unterschiedlichen AMPs.

EINBAU
Die Duncans haben sehr lange Polschrauben, da sollte das Fach für den Pick schon sehr tief sein und die Trembucker sind auch etwas länger als die Humbucker...beides war bei der Ibanez ein Problem....also musste ich fräsen...gut eine halbe Stunde Arbeit. Die Verkabelung der Duncans ist kein Problem.

SOUND
Der Pearly Gates ist in den Bässen überraschend 'tight'...da matscht nichts, was mir sehr gut gefällt. In den Höhen ist er kräftig, ein angenehmes Bruzzeln mit vielen Obertönen!

FAZIT
Wer einen Pick mit dichten Bässen und einem klaren obertonreichen Sound sucht, wird hier clean und verzerrt bestens bedient. Spitz klingt er nie!
Achtet vor dem Kauf eines Trembuckers ob er sich auch in der Gitarre unterbringen lässt!
Die Trembucker von Duncan passens bestens zu allen Ibanez Edge Tremolos...heisst die Saiten liegen direkt über den Polen des Picks, was bei normalen Humbuckern nicht der Fall wäre!

LIEFERUNG & BESTELLUNG
Wie immer großes Lob von mir an Thomann! Auch nach Österreich gehts immer sehr schnell!
