Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

ranalli, I just want to get a good sound from both pick ups, and my old Paf Pro did Speed Metal incredibly well so not using the neck pick up for heavy music, is like not using a guitar you own to me

I use the neck pickup all the time and with distortion too, however, I've never heard of anyone using the neck pickup for speed metal rhythm parts or any chugga-chugga type stuff that's all I'm saying. Just seems like that's a weird comparison to make.

But good review though, pretty thorough.

Neeradj, you nailed the review perfectly. I fall into the sloppy sweep-pickers department. Even my sweeps sound somewhat okay with that pup, and that's saying alot. I love the Jazz, and am considering dropping the JB/Jazz combo into my LP since I love it in my Jackson. It's so multi-purpose. It has that fast cold water over smooth rocks sound that I love.

I'm sure you sound great bro, don't be so negative . Thanks for the compliment, I'm so happy with this combo (and the guitar ofcourse) this is the first time since I somewhat learned how to play, I don't feel like I need another guitar. Another satisfied JB/Jazz costumer. Too bad though since I may not be trying any other Duncans for a while, that's the risk of being a completely satisfied customer

The EMG85 and DiMarzio Air Norton do that trick though, most people underestimate the neck position of a guitar, but a neck pick up can easilly take you there with high gain. Those two pups are a mere example, but it's a coincidence they also clean up beautifully

Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

Interesting, some people hate it under high gain, some love it...but most hate it. I think I'll set up a poll...

Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

hmm

how high gain are we talking here?

cause i really, really like the 59 in the enck of my lea paul with the DD in bridge it's completely killer! and i dont really use all that much gain, usually about halfway on my marshall and i get a really clear sound. do you guys think i'd like it better than the 59?

Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

As high as you want it to be, although I don't like too much gain. I'm not sure if you'd like it better, what are you basically looking for? What is it you like and dislike about the '59n?

I did a little recording with my V-Amp 2, I tried to record the other stuff but I don't think it'd represent anything else very well. Here's a bit of sweeping. I know it's sloppy, but it'll give you a nice idea of how good and clear the Jazz sounds for sweeping:

Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

i preffered the Jazz in the neck than the full shred.
At leats with those 2 samples.
yours and jimmys samples.

Re: Review on Jazz neck, Metalheads read this

I actually like them equally, the Jazz has that slurpy laser gun sweep picking sound, but you can't beat that 80's Metal tone Jimmy's got going for him. I also like the riffing sound a little better with the Full Shred neck.

It all comes down to what kind of sound one is looking for
