Great sound from the upgrade. This would work fine with a 250k pot as it would be too bright with a 500k. I was thinking of fitting a JB SH-4 (actually TB-4) or a SD 59 as it’s a lower output pickup and still sounds great. I have a Pacifica 604W
the sh4 is my fav hambucker even if lately i am consideryng a lot the wolfgangs one from fender ... that are similar to these but with more gain but same nice crunch ... i still have one sh4 vintage elsewhere in my guitar room
Hello Marc, I own a Yamaha Pacifica 212VFM for 1,5 month and I'm thinking about humbucker change because I really don't line the stock one. I was thinking about either SH-4 or SH-5 (or maybe some DiMarzio?). I would like to have more "meat" in the sound. The Yamaha humbucker is to squeaky for me, it is to bright, especially when I did comparision with Ibanez RG350. How big was difference when you changed humbucker in bridge? Thanks in advance for answer!
Actually it's not a medium output pick-up, with a DCR of 16.4 KOhm and an Alnico V magnet bar. On the Seymour Duncan website they say it's a high gain passive pick-up. It's very powerful really.
Great Video. I've got a Yam Pac 112J I'm doing a simiilar mod to. What effects did you say your playing thru? Did I hear a Tech 21 ( amp or pedal) ? thanks. GREAT SOUND! and good playing.
I have a question about the JB... When you crank it at high gain and high volume does it squeal alot? I Have a problem with my stock Epiphone pickups where they squeal (not normal feedback) at any volume over half and playing distorted. Got them re-waxed and everything and nothing changed. I know it's not a problem with my amp. Just wondering because I don't want to get one of these and have the same problem
Well have been using the JB for years in different guitars and never had any squealing issue at any volume.That all i can say good luck if you go for it !
Hello Marc, Which combination of pickups did you choose for your Yamaha? I see another Seymour Duncan in the neck... I'm thinking on change the original pickups for my Yamaha... Seymour Duncan JB it is in my mind, but I have doubts about the others... Thanks
can I ask what single coil Seymour Duncan did you use?, I'm planning on getting my first guitar which will be a pacifica 012 and someday when I get better at it and decide to go for an upgrade, I'll be looking at upgrading my pickups to Seymour Duncans. Also do you know how I can avoid fake Seymour Duncans? theres alot of them but I think the SH4 JB on amazon is a legit one
Bonjour, j’envisage d’installer le SH4 (chevalet) sur ma Yamaha Pacifica 112 gaucher. Je me demande si cela pose un problème vu que c’est une guitare gaucher. De plus, étant donné qu’il y a un vibrato, serait-il préférable de monter le TB 4 à cause de l’écartement des cordes. Je vois que tu as monté le SH4 : apparemment ça n’a pas posé de problème. Tu es content de ce micro? Tient-il ses promesses pour le son hard rock, pour les solis ? Merci si tu peux me renseigner. 🇫🇷 🎶🎸🎶
Very nice thought to replace the pick ups!!! The body and the neck of 112V is the best !!!!
This is Doss. I'm modding my 112V aswell. Some neat four finger runs and licks there aswell!
Bonjour Marc, merci pour la démo ! J'ai la même Pacifica, seulement un modèle plus vieux et voulais justement y mettre un Sh4 en bridge.

Carles cca A jb hs4 in the bridge the single coil i don't know as they were given to me with no box.
Merci Thomas je suis Francais et ne perdra jamais mon accent Francais.

Sorry just forgot what pick up it was
On sent l'accent français :') Bonne video
Would you recommend putting locking tuners? Because i want to do whammy bar screams.
quit293 For whammy bar sream or dive bomb locking tuners are a good idea.As it is it would not hold tuning for that abuse !

Desoler mais vraiment je ne serais pas te repondre pas tres technique moi meme
Why did you changed the pups? I understand that this 112V has pretty good pups as stock.
Well not as good as Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan in my humble opinion cheers.
OK...thanks for your humble opinion...noted ; )
Can the Duncan do coil tap?
Mutant Baby yes.it can
chauffe Marco chauffe!
Merci Fabien
250 o 500K los potenciometros?
I dont' know
Damn... that anglish 🤣
