For that genre group, you would probably find P90s more preferred. Lots of great P90s out there. Check out Zhangbucker as he will wind it they way you want. If it's not spot on, he'll work with you.shaps6 said:TBurst Std said:Well I have guitars as vehicles for different pups. My answer is you need both. What music do you play?

Myself, I always found JM pups more suited to surf rock, indie or even CCM. If you were to list the top 50 blues or 50 rock influences , few JM pups would be found. You would find more P90s.shaps6 said:TBurst Std said:For that genre group, you would probably find P90s more preferred. Lots of great P90s out there.

Thanks. So what're the jazzmaster pickups "for"? Why is it that Elvis Costello, Mascis, et al are able to use those pickups? Does it only sound good with fuzz and clean? That strikes me as hard to believe
Cagey said:My Jazzmasters don't sound like Jazzmasters at all because I don't care for P90s or JM pickups. Much too noisy and limited. But, I do like the appearance/feel of a Jazzmaster, so I put a set of Seymour Duncan's "Hotrodded Humbuckers" (JB+59) in one along with a piezo saddle/acousti-phonic preamp setup and a Fishman TriplePlay, and the other has a pair of Bill Lawrence L500XLs in it.
