  • Does JB even use a JB?

    I'm sure this has been covered before, but please clarify for me. Someone recently wrote that Jeff Beck used a JB on Blow by Blow, but he's got a Les Paul on the cover. So on his classic "Cause We've Ended As Lovers," what exactly did he use?
    Gozer the Traveler. Gozer the Destructor. Gozer the Gozarian. Wait for a sign from Gozer the Traveler; he will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.

      The LP on the cover is NOT the guitar use on the album...at lease not the whole thing. Seymour built Jeff a Telecaster with 2 humbuckers in it...the pickups were would for Jeff by Seymour and are the first JB/Jazz combo, Cause we've ended as lovers IS a JB and a Jazz...the first ones in fact!

            The early ones used Lace Sensors, the newer ones have Hot Noiseless.

                Yes...most if not all of his Pauls had the stock pups. The Brown Blow by Blow paul had the p-90 taken out and a set from a 57 Gold Top put in it. In fact Jeff used to have a favorite Paul (the one from the Truth album) and the neck got broken and when the neck got repaired the repair man lifted the PAF's and put in "late model" Gibson pups...Jeff hated this and got rid of the guitar! That is the reason that Seymour made the Tele-Gib in the first place!

                  Awesome tones on that record. Cool looking LP too, stripped top.

                    The Tele-Gib probably had 250k pots in it which will make humbuckers sound warmer... also, that's obviously a small amp with lot's of POWER TUBE saturation going on unlike most of the tones produced today with PREAMP TUBE saturation.

                      It DOES have 250k pots and Blow by Blow was a 50 watt marshall...cranked!
