Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker Reverse Zebra Pickup

The TB-4 JB Trembucker delivers aggressive, articulate bridge-position tone with a tight low end and cutting midrange character. Built with Alnico 5 magnets and hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, this pickup cuts through a mix on stage while maintaining clarity across all frequencies. The reverse zebra coil configuration provides visual contrast and refined voice for gigging players demanding maximum output and definition under live conditions.

Tone & Output

At approximately 17.64k DC resistance, this pickup generates substantial output that holds its own through a packed room and overdriven amplifiers without sacrificing articulation. The Alnico 5 bar magnet and vacuum wax potted construction ensure consistent, noise-free performance with tight magnetic coupling and enhanced sustain that translates reliably to venue acoustics.

Design & Wiring

The trembucker spacing accommodates guitars with string spacing greater than 2.00" (E to E) at the bridge, aligning magnets precisely with wider-spaced strings. A 4-conductor lead wire with approximately 11" of cable length enables series, parallel, and split-coil wiring configurations for tonal flexibility, and includes a four-conductor hookup cable for straightforward installation.
