Apples or oranges. They sound very close. There is a slight difference but it’s so small that it’s just being neurotic at that point.

I have both these pickups also. Tremonti bridge has better low end/low mids at gain, however the neck pickup is just average. The Jazz is better, however my favourite that I own is the 57/08.

Prs bridge pickups sound like if the tone was 30-40% rolled off... somewhat sounda like a bright neck pickup IMO

Tremonti Signature Pickups surprise me , sound very good, but jb rail with sentient rail in the neck, pfffff is amazing combination

What an interesting comparission, my friend! I think that Gibson custom sound incredible with seymour duncan pickups. But It's not necessary in my opinion, because with Gibson original pickups, you have "the custom sound"!. With seymour duncan pegasus and sentinent pickups, it's possible obtain the same sound with another nice brand of electric guitar. But, "the Gibson custom sound", it's unique!

Seymour Duncan's sound notably better in my opinion with distorsion. Cleans maybe a bit Suhr

Absolutely fantastic

Any chance you know how well these hold up with low tunings?

I can dig it. Fat 60s in the bridge is where it's at for that Guitar. The bare knuckle sound great in mid/ neck. Keep fot 60s in bridge cos it's Fattt and zingy.

Have to give props for that harry maguire t shirt lmao

Hard to beat the good ol 498T❤

If you want to keep the Gibson sound but enjoy the articulation of the Pegasus, put an A5 magnet in the 498T.

The SD's are cool but the 498T and 490R sound better. Many guitarists assume that there is something better out there than the 498T and 490R but these pickups are hard to beat. The 498T is one of the greatest pickups of all time and so is the 490R....they compliment each other perfectly.

Oswaldo excelente el sonido que lograste... Te felicito, quedé con ganas de conocer como armaste la cadena internamente. ❤

i think people just say seymour duncan because of the name

Sometimes, sound good playing it alone doesn't mean it's gonna sound good when mixed with the band..JB may not be that pleasantly alone but it can make people goosebumps when mixed with the band..

thanks for posting this, not a lot of comps that i could find.

I like the seymors dynamics more, and I like tremonti tone more.

Comparing a set of high end fat 60 Vs entry level bare knuckle...probs not the most fair comparison , boot camp Vs Tex mex would be closer

A year away from your last vid. These are very high quality demos.

Probably bk true grit is the best for your style in my opinion.

Hey Charlie, it's been a year, but after watching multiple different covers, yours has the best fluidity. It's like the original, especially the solo. Awesome work! I hope I get to play this on my own someday. :)

Outstanding cover! The best one I’ve seen!

Can’t decide between the tremonti pickups or the bare knuckle juggernauts

I have the 498T/490R in my LP Custom and I really like them.. My guitar sounds great through most amps... If I want any extra distortion I can get it via a pedal... But for most things they are great straight through

Both sound great. Subjective. Suhr sounded more balanced in the bridge, less uppermidrange. That may make a JB stand out in a mix better though. Both great pickups.

Such an incredible cover! :)

Man is it your band ?

Great song!

Muito bom seus riffs são inspiradores !

Great vídeo sir ! Please Whats is the name of the song in 2:00 min?

I dig both sets. As much as I love the Pegasus/Sentient set I think the Gibson 490 set is great and would not change them.

The Gibsons were better on the bridge. Seymours on the Neck. However, for the difference it makes... I don't think changing from Gibson pickups is worth the hassle, unless you specifically want active pickups or something very specific.

Your playing made it all sound good

490R are more dynamic, and less compressed. 😋💘💗💯👍

for less paul, the best choice is 490R in the neck position. But for trem equipped guitar with 5 way blade and has coil split, the SH2N is perfect!

Great job! I liked the SD better

Great guitar playing great sounds

Great video Charlie! The Tremonti pickups in your video sound WAY better than the JB/Jazz to me so that goes to show you how individual pickup preference is. Even clean, the Tremonti pickups (especially neck) seem to have great midrange punch and the JB/Jazz sound hollow and flat by comparison. Perhaps being in the room brings out that "sparkle" that you mentioned but the lack of midrange punch really kills the overall tone as far as I'm concerned. Gave me a better sense for the pickups, man. Thanks a lot.

I like the Sentient neck and 498t bridge

I prefer the 490r in this comparison, however I'm generally partial to Alnico V (specifically the Duncan '59). Also I don't like pickup covers. They dampen the tone to my ears.

They sound very close, I can’t hear a huge difference when using the same guitar and amp. So much so that I’ve decided to keep the SDs on my Cort for the time being. Maybe the hot rodded set is underrated.

Both sound great, but the gold just looks so much better

Gibson has more clarity in bridge distorted tones but not as tight. I think bare knuckle pickups would be focused and clear with the string to string separation they're known for.

Put the 60's back in.... imo. Put in a better cap and pots and try different strings. I use Curt Mangans with my 60 strat pickups and they are an amazing combination. If you want to sound like a Humbucker buy a humbucker guitar first. IMO !!! But I have spent a fortune learning these things.

¡¡Both are awsome!! I am looking for a dark sound pickup so then i think SD's are the ones. ¡Great video dude!

love that guitar, have the same pickup config as your's too!

Gibson

490r permormed much better on most of sitiuations. But in real life Jazz Model has a lot of more sustain, the chords are deeper and you can also note a clear difference between the bridge 498t. 490r is better if you like the same tone in B and N, also if you dont use it for "epic neck solos". Personally, I world suggest Tone Rider Classic alnico IV.

Lovely LP Custom. I'm looking for great Hard Rock/Rock pickups for an SG copy.
