    How long have you use it?
    I use this mic for 6 months, I mount a Epiphone Goth G400 and bridge pickups (bridge) for a powerful and pplus prcis sound with a Seymour Duncan Sh1 ('59) in the neck (neck ) .dropoff window

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    I like good distos that sends even if I happen to find a little weakling ...
    I do not like the old screaming that his super dmonte ears sometimes ...

    How do you report qualitprix?
    The microphone is about 80 I think, and as it is a high-end microphones and everything and it's really cool to play, I think it's not bad.

    With experience, you do again this choice? ...dropoff Window
    Or or else I will look downright Dimarzio or put an active EMG kit for the potato because it is mounted on my guitar nag ...

    A micro metal moderate

    Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom Published on 07/02/12 at 16:31

    Micro originally fitted on my Vigier Excalibur original. It is a kind of modern ceramic version of PAF duncan with an output level too high.

    I have not kept long because I found it too sweet and kind and is the most versatile microwave ceramics virtually all brands confused that I heard from his lack of nervousness (this just be an advantage but me is a barrier that blocks the dynamics of game especially palm mute)

    In terms of qualities, this microphone was still a nice sustain, a beautiful grain, a defintion and some nice heat, and is also very good in split and parallel.

    I think it is interesting for micro metal, progressive, hard rock, heavy blues and shred. The clear sound is a…

    I think it is interesting for micro metal, progressive, hard rock, heavy blues and shred. The clear sound is also more fun than other microphones typed metal.

    A microphone that has very good qualities in short, but to be chosen in case. Prior notice of the placed between the TB4 and TB6 and he's right. There is no fat TB4 and TB6 not the edge of but something between the two, which prevent to specialize. The price of versatility in short.

    PAF on steroids

    Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom Published on 06/01/12 at 12:16

    I installed it on Gibson Flying V to replace the 500T (micro bridge) which is also in ceramics, OK I admit I play a little fashionable Schenker ... P I can say is that I do not regret any of the 500T, the SH5 provides increased precision and especially a sharper attack than the Gibson model which suddenly seems more vintage, Heavy plans emerge better it breathes, it sings ... this species was more compression in the bass by playing against a blues, bah there is not the good stuff ...
    In Mesa or the Wampler Triple Wreck it sounds great, for the fans of his Heavy ...

    It is a ceramic humbucker, it is very punchy in the midrange, precise and low output level is enormous,
    I l have tried it on my peavey ultra tube and an H & K triamp, it is excellent to boost a good crunch or to wake up a tube amp a little older like JCM 800 or 900 but to play on a very large distortion, it to limit the gain on the amp, otherwise it becomes very rough.

    I replaced it with a TB-12 George Lynch is less powerful but more versatile (certainly with a smaller output level)
    I recommend this mic and Hard Rockers to Rockers to play but not really death metal unless you have an amp that does not gain a disproportionate because the microphone while the rest will ...
    I will redeem it probably if I look forward to the microwave rock but for the Metal (death or melodic) he has not won. It remains a very good price / quality ratio as all humbucker Seymour (well that's my opinion).

    Good meditation
