    Seriously?? I have been looking for that tone, but I couldn't get any answers, so I just chose a JB for the bridge in the axe I'm getting, and if that can give me the Judas Priest tone then sweet!

    I just saw JP and they're both using EMGs now, at least live.

    I agree 100%, I can get damn close with a Custom as well, though a bit less nasal and a bit more aggressive... but I also have the JCM 800 to balance that pup small difference out and gimme TOOONE

    Seen this way the JB is a very powerfull mid beast , the leads they have are so clear , basses are less strong but maybe with different amps you could have them back ? ( never tried a jb )

    I was jamming along to that the other day with my JB-loaded Jackson. I used a TS9 Tubescreamer through my Brit-Hi-Gain (JCM800-ish model) setting on my Line6, they were sounding quite close.

    I would agree with Stevo and Zerb. The JB might be the Duncan pup of choice for that one. I can't speak to Dimarzios since I've never tried any.

    And yes, EMG's live - just saw them the other day.

    yeah priest is all EMGs lately, but they didnt start using em till the late '90s i think. at least not on a large scale.

    i didnt know that painkiller was all JB's......thats damn cool news to me. im gonna have to get a JCM800 one of these days (wont be for a while though, i reeeaallly wanna buy the new kevin bond rhoads). i love my XXX but theres some things that the 800 is just perfect for
