So after fighting with muddy tones and tweaking endlessy, reading about different pots and the difference between pickups height and polepeice height.... and significance that can make.... I decided to ditch the jb jr and re-install the Quarter Pounder 3 that was once fitted in my jag. My goodness, I'm in shock. Why didn't I think this was a great pickup before ?? It has opened everything up... feels like someone has pulled a blanket away from my amp. Cleans are better obviously, but even the dirt is better... love it. Best re-discovery ever !! I reckon like most on here I'm definitely a Single Coil guy... at least on any fenders. Fook them buckers to hell...
On top of this I also swapped out my usual Ernie Ball Slinkys for some Fender Bullets and they seem really nice too... which I was discussing the other day.

This was all spurred on from a new love of my jazzmasters sound and my mates 62 Tele re-issue which I've been setting up for him.
So happy, and lastly I don't even feel like I need to buy any new pedals as I've gone full circle and happy with 'my' setup. Yes yes yes !!!
All I need now is a jag pickup cover as I bored a hole in the other for the jb jr...
