Electric (including the Frankensonic that is on its way to me): 5 (Strat, Gretsch DuoJet, Jagmaster, Esquire (Project not quite done yet), Frankensonic)dots wrote:hahaha how many axes do you have now?St. Jimmy wrote:goddamnit. this thread makes me want a fucking jag so bad.
Acoustic : 3 (Ibanez A/E, Fender Acoustic, Jasmine A/E that is beat to shit and just needs to go out of my life)
Basses: 3 (AD Jazz Bass, Squier P (OH FUCK I NEED TO SHIP THAT PEDAL BOARD TO ENDS TOMORROW!!), Montana A/E)
We're also holding on to my father-in-law's upright bass...that thing is fucking awesome.
yeah, it is kind of embarassing considering that i'm really a bassist by trade...and it sounds funny to say, but i think since is started acquiring more guitars i've gotten to be a "better" guitarist...having to track pretty much every part i want in 4.5" Raw forces that outta me too..

It's a JB JR & I've installed it inside a jag cover with it's top cut off...dots wrote: EXPLAIN THIS BRIDGE PICKUP. DO LIKE.
think it'd only work with the 1st generation with the cloth surround on the pickup... like mine...
Glad you like it. Just put a nice suede Levy's strap on there and I'll also be trying a buzz stop again.

Was a bit of a squeeze with the cloth one so I think a fully coated plastic one would be too big to do this... but you could just use the end bits of the covers like others have done previously.dots wrote:i simply must experiment with this. i have a non-cloth duncan mini humbucker and will order a jag pup cover to try this out. crazy. . .othomas2 wrote:It's a JB JR & I've installed it inside a jag cover with it's top cut off...dots wrote: EXPLAIN THIS BRIDGE PICKUP.

"Mother of bowling ball" is the traditional term - tort looks like various colours of plastic melted together, whereas this is more like melted plastic with pigment swirled into it. The colour has depth, it's not just on the surface.Mike wrote:It looks more like a tie-dye pattern than a Tortoise Shell.
Thanks, I think.Mike wrote:At least it's on White, like Bob says it would look dogshit on Sunburst but it looks OK on that colour.
Red guards were used on 60s Fenders (including sunburst, sorry!) as well as these 90s MIJ reissues, however I think the 60s ones were more tort-like.

hows the JB in the bridge position, i've been really thinking about getting one for my CP. thing is; i love the way it sounds clean - but it lacks something in the dist department. i'm sure the JB kills when its rockin' but hows it clean?

Jaguar HH Special with a Seymoure Duncan Invader in the bridge= SCREAMS
Mid 90's '62 reissue, when I had a hotrail in the bridge. I never liked the way it sounded.
Same '62 reissue with new paint, pickguard, '65 dot and bound neck, pots and us avri pickups.
