Anybody have/use them? I'm going to refit my Gretsch Pro Jet with them, but I'm not sure which model to get. I'm playing mostly rock with it. The current p/u's are really flabby in the low end, especially on palm mutes, and the attack is kinda marginal overall. I want something with some crisp attack, but not so high output that the high notes don't stand out.

They have demos on their website(http://www.tvjones.com/pickups/pickups.htm. They're done with a lot less overdrive than I'm using though. That's my biggest question: How do they sound with a decent amount of drive?

So far, I think the TV Classic Plus in the bridge and the TV Classic in the neck sounds the best. I don't care for the PowerTron. The SuperTron sounds a bit flat to my ears. The MagnaTron sounds OK.

What PUPs are in the Pro Jet now?

probably gretsch fake'trons.

II'd just read the descriptions and find reviews of what you want. I think my brian setzer gretsch has fake hi-lo trons, and I like them. Its quiet though.

Yeah, they're "TV Jones Designed" pickups. He said on one Gretsch forum that all he designed was the casing and I think he made a suggestion on the guts.

Brian Setzer uses them on his signature Gretsch model. THEY GOTTA ROCK Y'ALL.

I really didn't like them when I was trying out Gretschs, but I was specifically looking for cleans. I thought they were a bit muddy sounding.

Yeah, I'm shooting for a cross between Brian Setzer and Mike Ness. I don't think that's really possible to do, but it's the platonic ideal, at least.
