Wow, nice hoard. I've been thinking about picking up a Jazzmaster for a while. Maybe with scholarship funds...

Mortgage my future for a jazzy?

yeah, actually most of those are just what i've bought in the last couple years. I've got more vintage jazzys but it was starting to make ME feel ridiculous writing that list. the one's i keep in rotation are either in different tunings, or specific pups for a particular sound.


fwiw, the j mascis squire jazzy punches way above its price quality wise. its quality is almost on par with my classic player. only thing is its more of a custom jobby....well, actually a custom job is exactly what it is ...with basswood body, jumbo frets, a gibson type bridge, and i'm pretty sure the neck is chunkier than usual. these are all positive's in my mind.

also played the squire vintage series, and they not as nice as many people make them out to be...swapping pups isn't going to make matters any better with them.

dayum. any particular favourites out of those?
My main guitar is a squier j mascis (really dig the neck and pickups but not so much the bridge/trem placement), trying to save up for an even nicer jazzy but every time i play one it doesn't even come close to '61 i played once (but they wanted $20,000 ).

backwardsvoyager wrote:but they wanted $20,000 ).

woah. thats a nice car.

oh yeah, the squier j mascis is crazy nice. i'm with you, i like a neck i can get ahold of, but i want to swap the pups for a set of gibson p90s....why? just cus I have a set lying around. i dig dino jr. and the tones he gets are godly, but that didn't really have much influence on the purchase. it DID have a huge influence on buying the made in japan j mascis sig purple sparkley one But the thing is he recorded like 90% of the records with a telecaster, and gibson's with p90s for the rhythm parts, and a princeton reverb amp(i think, its a low watt fender blackface(i think, might be silverface(wait what?
I just haven't gotten around to doing it. That guitar is sooo nice.

favorites? out of those the pre cbs 64. its a great player nice and worn in, and its one of those guitars that once I pick it up I don't want to put it down. also because of the pups. the 65 avri model is one very fine instrument. very fine. but the pups are off from my 64's. could just be the age of the magnets, perhaps they are a little weaker now after 50 years...but there are other more discernible differences than how hot they are. i know that fender is trying to be as authentic as possible with the avri line, down to the case candy, so perhaps the 65 avri is what my 64 sounded like fresh off the line? regardless a set of vintage 65 pups are coming my way. I've bought replacement pups from the usual suspects custom winders and they are still off, they are all still WAY nicer than the stock pups in most of my other jazzy's i've swapped pups in and i'm happy with the results as I don't want all of my guitars sounding the same

OR

the lee ranaldo w/curtis novak wrhb's. this is just a beast. it handles everything i throw at it, and those pups just EXPLODE with fuzz. i love it cause i like stacking pedals and some pups start to get diffuse around the edges and then the center and then its soup.....and chances are its going to turn into soup anyways and that might even be the point but it just takes it all in stride. and that finish is so beautiful, the neck is so comfortable. great guitar.

really i like them all pretty equally for different reasons.

Geeze! I feel like I should go buy another guitar now...

So, UG, are you super into Jazzy's, or do you have a cornucopia of other models as well?

in the show your guitar thread, there are some pics all in a row of some of my guitars to give a better idea. my main guitar is a 1960s silvertone 1448. i like jazzymasters, i might like jaguar's better? they have more tonal options i feel. scale length has never bothered me. the 1448 has a scale length of 23 5/8" i think, and a jazzmaster 25 1/2". i like most any guitar so long as it inspires me to play. If the guitar makes it hard to stop playing and put down, i usually take that as a good sign.

I'd really like to see a picture of your entire music room so I can sufficiently shit myself.

But yeah. I understand...If it makes you want to play, it's good to have it.

Finally found one of the simpler sounds in my head that drove me to buy the shin-ei wah/vol/hurricane/surf siren pedal. man those crazy vintage japanese wah/? are out there. Here I've got a Jerms mkI tonebender, jmi zonk machine, clark ss-600 going into the shin-ei me-7 with a lightfoot labs goatkeeper mkII and jhs panther.

so the shin-ei is an ok wah and volume pedal, but the money shot is that it has a "sort of swirling white noise" that's intensity in volume and in swirling is controlled by the treadle. There's also a "sort of pink noise" setting that does the same thing only its much much more subdued way and the swirling sounds more like a subtle sine wave. hurrican and surf. whats cool is that the signal passing through isn't affected by the noise i.e. clean signal stays clean. so i fuzz up the signal and add the swirling hurricane or surf waves to affect the richness or harshness of the fuzz.

cool. thanks for the insight. I'm leaning towards the 65 avri (dat white with matching headstock ) but yeah, I figured a pickup change would be necessary down the line.

oh wow i'm glad something i said made sense. the thing is if I wasn't already familiar with my 64 and bought the reissue I would still be in love with how is sounds. the avri stock pups are really great sounding, they sound like a jazzmaster whereas most of the modern varieties do not. i think this be the result of fender licensing to have them made in japan in the 80s after they stopped production, and the japan versions had hotter pups as this was the trend of the time. so maybe that carried over to the modern jazzy's?

regardless i wouldn't have any reference, and as is they sound incredible.......but being me, i'd probably try and find a set of vintage pups anyways

pups are a personal thing, depending on how you get you groove on
