Sweet star wars tee

So rediculous it awesome, but I couldn't resist putting in some sweet flashing lights, and maybe a strobe, if your gonna be rediculous why not take it all the way?

Yeah I have a black/tort, but I'm very tempted by the prospect of gold anodized, but I don't really wanna be spending any money on aesthetic junk at the moment cause I'm recording at the end of the month yay!

my buddy swapped the neck on his jazzy with an all maple from a mexi strat with heel adjustment for truss rod, as the kinds quite few and far between cause it made a nice difference sound and playability and I'm very much considering doing the same, would ideally want a jumbo headstock though cause ...

Volume should always be Log/Audio. There is a debate on Tone, but Volume should always be Log since your ear hears sound level (volume) differences logarithmically and so the taper is better suited.

I'm not saying you're incorrect as manufacturers fuck up all the time. All the action in a linear ...

CIJ use Alpha pots. Nothing wrong with them at all. All Marshalls use Alphas, infact most thing guitar related will be Alphas in my experience.

just figured while I've got the pickguard off for the new pickups and shielding I may aswell do the pots too, but if the ones in there are good I won't ...

I'm lazy and tend to keep the volume full on both, but since i'm doing the new pickup I will do the volume and tone pot at the same time.

Whats the quality like on the CIJ jazzmaster pots?

The live earth streams are pretty good, just watching wembley, can't wait for Spinal Tap with Rick Gervais

yeah even when I play clean I don't tend to be totally clean so I have mine with minimal dirt and use a compressor to push it that bit extra, then a hotcake for a bit more

but I have a ts9 arriving in a couple of days so that should be fun

I think all you need to do is take one of the jacks from the speaker cable or the guitar lead and wire it up to the speaker leads (if they're long enough etc), that's what I did for my TT.

Your Valve Junior Head should have speaker outputs so you shouldn't need to fuck with that at all. What's the ...

They're the same but you should be able to get more treble out of the Custom/Deluxe neck pickup by raising to towards the strings, it really starts to sparkle then.

I've actually been using the neck pickup on my Deluxe (and the combination of both) a lot more since rejigging the scratchplates and ...

thats what I figured, I think I only played the deluxe in the middle position, the custom sounds average in the bridge position aswell, I have a new bridge pickup on its way with an ibanez ts808 from japan, yay ishibashi

Well my jazzmaster got here this morning, a full 3 days before expected and with no letters telling customs was holding onto it till I paid them , so I'm stoked, and its everything I expected haha.

My mates one had a buzzstop and I really liked the feel of that, then again this has the crappy ...

HOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU FUCKING MORONS SHUT THE HELL UP

RIKKI YOU SHOULD TAKE A TELECASTER PICKUP, DRILL THREE HOLES IN A JAZZMASTER PICKUP COVER, SCREW THE TELE PICKUP IN, AND BAM! IT'LL LOOK AWESOME AND COST NEXT TO NIL

END OF THREAD


I'm not doing that because I would spend the same amount of ...

I literally have no idea what you're doing.

You're buying a Jazzmaster and trying to make it sound like a Telecaster which you already have which has your "perfect tone". Why are you buying a Jazzmaster?

cause I like the trem and I prefer the way the jazzmaster looks, and my tele plays like shit ...

I'm not ill informed and although it took months for me to get the perfect tone out of my tele, I knew it was there from the start, and new it wasn't with the stock jazzmaster pickups.

So perfect you bought a Jazzmaster to stick a Tele pickup in?

yes thats pretty much what I stated quite ...

It does seem to be a little strange to me at least, that trying to make a jazzmater sound like a tele is sort of defeating the purpose of buying the much more expensive jazzy in the first place. I guess the most important thing though is having a guitar you're happy with.

I really like the trem ...

I borrowed a friends jazzmaster this week and that led me to this desicion, I found the bridge pickup to be pretty meh, the neck one was alright but not great in any way, yes I havn't played THIS guitar, but I'm guessing theres not gonna be any real difference in it, I know what I want outta the ...

so I just made payment for a jazzmaster tele bridge, and a jm vintage neck, should be mega fun times when they get here

I love my credit card, yet loath it at the same time

Now if only TV Jones will finish that Filtertron-bridge-pickup-for-Telecaster he was writing me about last year.

yeah i'm gonna buy one, I saw a video on their site of a tele with filtertrons, sounded mega sexy http://www.tvjones.com/

so I e-mailed curtis and said I really liked the sound of tele bridges but that I have a jazzmaster on the way, and he said he would try to combine the tele bridge design into a jazzmaster pickup, and less than a week later http://www.curtisnovak.com/pickups/jmt.shtml thats the result, very cool
