Jazzmaster Much?

[jellodog]

Man, that would be super cool if the Fatmasters nail all of that.

Yeah... seems unlikely

Just changing the pot might solve some of it TBH

Tonally, for sure. Not so much with that Hum, though, eh?

I didn't even know hum-cancelling JM pickups were a thing.

Some of the Fano JM-style guitars have Firebird pups. This one isn't JM-style, but anyway, he switched to the neck pickup here at 36 seconds:



Sweet AF!

I looove the look of that.
Great tones too.

@la szum Kinmans arrived sooner than expected. Pretty damn quick from the Philippines for this time of year actually.

Thought I'd put them in quickly tonight.

Of course I'd forgotten what a PITA the JM wiring is (if you're also replacing pots, cap). Still doing it.

Holy Hi-Tech! I am not sure I have ever seen a JM Pickup like that.

I sure hope they are everything and a bowl of Hum-free Cherries for you.

Haha. There's literally nothing quite like these.

Whether or not they sound like angels banging is still in question, however. I don't think I'll manage to get the heights adjusted to a pleasing level before bedtime though (especially with this forum habit!). So it's gonna be delayed gratification here. Or disappointment, ofc.

Hopes still running high!

Now I want to know what "Angels banging" sounds like.

Is it like a pulsating Uni-Vibe drenched in Shimmer-Verb or something?


And when did you become so raunchy and risque, JD?

I learned the phrase from Rolly Foster elsewhere a couple of years ago. IIRC he was talking about an amp at the time, but it made me laugh. And stuck with me, for some strange reason.

UPDATE

@la szum These Kinman's rock! Best my Jazzmaster has ever sounded.

And the quietest guitar I've ever owned. There is no noise whatsoever. What a contrast: Noisiest guitar to silent.

But here's the really amazing trick that Kinman has pulled off: They sound like the most Jazzmastery pickups ever! Wow.

I didn't want to post last week because I've been fiddling a great deal with pickup height and I didn't quite have the tone that I was looking for, but now I do. All my listed pickup goals have been met.

Chris' pickups are expensive, but I now believe that they are worth it

The EBMM Cutlass has been my #1 for quite some time. Having said that... the JM is winning me over again. Perhaps it's time to change my avatar!

Bet your JM with those new PuP's into a Carol Ann or Two rock something EoB must be awesome !!

It's seems to be loving the Fender Concert with the Bassman DynaCab right now! I have the Tube Spring and Mono BBD in front with the option of some Fuzz Face for taking things over the edge.

I have a jaguar I dig. Does that count?

That's awesome, JD!

Pickup swaps (like speaker swaps) can be such a crapshoot! I am tickled to hear
you have landed in new territory that jives with you so much.

This is the absolute truth: I can't stop playing the Jazzmaster + Axe-Fx. I can't put it down to do anything else productive today

I just stopped for a moment. I will try to put it down now.

EDIT: Done!
