Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guitar bridge spacing does the TB-4 JB Trembucker fit?
This trembucker is designed for guitars with string spacing greater than 2.00 inches (E to E) at the bridge, aligning magnets precisely with wider-spaced bridge positions. Standard single-coil spacing pickups will not fit guitars with this wider bridge gap.
What wiring options does the 4-conductor lead wire support?
The included 4-conductor lead wire with approximately 11 inches of cable supports series, parallel, and split-coil wiring configurations, allowing players and technicians to customize the tone and output to their amplifier and playing style. A four-conductor hookup cable is included for straightforward installation.
Is this pickup suitable for jazz or blues?
No—the TB-4 JB is specifically voiced for metal, hard rock, djent, and high-gain applications with aggressive, articulate character and tight low-end response. Its tone profile and high output are not suited to jazz, blues, or folk genres.
What output level should I expect?
At approximately 17.64k DC resistance, this pickup generates substantial output ideal for heavy genres and overdriven amplifiers while maintaining clarity across all frequencies without sacrificing articulation.
What does reverse zebra coil configuration mean?
Reverse zebra refers to the visual contrast between the black screw coil and cream slug coil, combined with a refined voice optimized for aggressive, articulate bridge-position tone. This configuration provides both aesthetic appeal and tonal characteristics suited to high-gain play.
