Re: Adam Jones
he uses a JB in the bridge.
not sure about the neck, but i think a '59.
though rumor has it that he will be switching to a distortion sh-6 for their upcoming album. -
Re: Adam Jones
to add something... if you're looking for a similar type sound, adam's uniqueness comes from his 4-channel amp with multi effects pedals. the pickup plays a very small part.Comment

Re: Adam Jones
Lots of gitarists moved to amps like Diezel en Bogner over the last few years but they still got their signature sound. In Adams case id say his silverburst and his fingers are contributing more to his sound then his amp and effects.Comment

Re: Adam Jones
I've heard Adam Jones's sound is a Jazz in the neck. Try it. Jazz in the neck, then adjust your EQ (lower the bass) and you'll hear it too.7 FREE TRACKS OF ROCK - driftrocks.bandcamp.com

Re: Adam Jones
You probably won't hear it, as he very rarely uses the neck pup in the studio, and never live.Originally posted by joelap
The bridge pickup is a JB, and the neck is probably stock.

Re: Adam Jones
Adam uses a Marshall super bass quite a bit...as for the pickups they are a JB and a Jazz...the jazz sees very little useage...I have heard that lately the JB's have been being swapped out for Distortions.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

Re: Adam Jones
I'll take your word for it that most of it is a JB, but I know he has a Jazz in there. I've taken my Jazz pickup in my neck, and Dialed down the bass and got a reasonably close sound.Originally posted by JB_From_HellYou probably won't hear it, as he very rarely uses the neck pup in the studio, and never live.

Re: Adam Jones
He said in a GP interview (Lateralus era) that he occasionally switched pickups in the studio, but turned the neck pickup's volume knob to zero live, and used the switch as an on/off.Originally posted by joelap“I can play the hell out of a riff.

Re: Adam Jones
yeah, supposedly his silverburts had some problems with the finish used and players complained about the tone. adam enjoyed it however and stuck with it, while many others returned theirs and gibson discontinued its manufacturing of those kind. and so on and so forth.
in my opinion, i really dont think the guitar has that much to do with his unique sound. the way he structures his songs is probably one important factor. and i still think his diezel amp has lots to do with it. i couldn't see how it wouldn't...Comment

Re: Adam Jones
He uses a Mesa Dual Recto Stack, a Marshall Non-Master volume bass stack, and a Deisel 4 channel stack. His LP has been discontinued because players complained about the tone that (i am pretty sure) the metallic-alloy chips in the paint gave the guitar. His tone has to do with his whole rig, not just the way he plays (even tho that contributes I am sure) ...What can I say, they are my favorite band, I know just about everything about em!Its not about love or hate, wrong or right, its about perception. Just do it, say it, feel it. There are no lies... lies are too human. Its so much thought that its none at all. Its no religion, its not defined. Its not even real. Its about being connected to the point that you didnt even know. Its the reassuring peace in pain because it hit you & its over & you felt it. Its the pits of Hell found in Heaven. Its not being connected with a god... we are all god...Comment
