Graham Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have a Squier vintage modified Jazzmaster, which is a lovely guitar to play but the Duncan Designed pickups are really letting it down. The bridge sounds thin and harsh and the neck sounds a bit muddy when used with overdrives and distortion. Can anyone recommend some replacements? Or does anyone have any for sale? Even some stock Fender ones would probably be an improvement. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you are not on a strict budget, have a look at The Creamery. They make all sorts of good replacement pickups for Jazzmasters. http://www.at-the-creamery.co.uk/custom-handwound-pickups-from-the-creamery/vintage-custom-jazzmaster-replacement-pickups.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be replacing the neck pickup shortly. So i've got the Japanese bridge pickup sitting if you fancy it? They don't really sound like a traditional USA Jazzmaster pickup, more like a really big strat pickup. It'll be a lot warmer than the Duncan Designed one.

Steviepearce Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Graham meet Colin, Colin meet Graham. If i am correct this is Graham i mentioned the pups to via Dave Milne. I heard you may have been interested so let Dave know and i let Colin know someone might have been interested in his stock Fender ones.

Graham Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ha ha yes Dave did tell me about you changing the pickups in a Jazzmaster and I did ask if he knew if the spare would be for sale, so yes Col, I'd take it! I'll give you a message and we can sort it out. Stevie, would you maybe be up for fitting it? Dave said you were setting up guitars now.

Steviepearce Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah I can fit it no problem. I still have colins pickup at home. Hopefully all my tools turn up soon so can offer better options. Fret dressing, stoning, nut cutting set ups etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
