Seymour Duncan pickup advice

Hey all!

I was just looking for some solid advice on 2 pickups im looking to put into a guitar,

the Seymour Duncan SB-2 and SB-4, For some reason I cant find any youtube reviews or non-biased reviews online!

Im looking for a complete shredding and metal setup if that helps.

Thanks

Do you mean the SH-4? If so, I can tell you that it's a pretty hot, bright and cutting pickup. Can't go wrong if you need something metal. It's also good for down tuning, as the mid frequencies really punch through. That's my experience anyway. I have one in a strat.

Is this the pick up formerly known as the JB?
If so this pick up will be spot on for down-tuned chugging!!
OK has it spot on, it really cuts through and stays defined even with heavy amp gain, which is what you want for metal stuff.
I've one in a Les Paul, can't use the guitar for much else other than hard rock and metal though. It doesn't have any bit of sweetness or subtlelty to it at all, IMO, but that's not what you want anyways!

SH-4 JB is correct, sorry my bad,

cheers guys, sound like they are the pickups for me so

the SH-2 is Seymour himself favorite pickup also so I really cant go wrong
