Digging the Jazz neck so far. First one i’ve owned.
Great in parallel too. On cleaner setting with one or both pickups in parallel, it can sound pretty stratty, especially in the middle position.
Clean and articulate and NO flubby, mushy, overpowering bass frequencies which seems to have been the case on almost every neck HB I’ve owned.
If I had to change something, I’d say it would benefit from some more, errr, “pizzazz” or “juiciness”. In the mids perhaps? A touch more of a male vocal quality if you will.
I think a ‘59/Jazz, PAF36/Jazz or another similar Jazz hybrid would be my ultimate neck HB.
I could always try some different mags in this one too. But overall, excellent!!
As for the JB2, I usually run an UOA5’s in my JB’s. Despite thinking I would miss some highs and have to swap it out, I am still playing it with an A2. I’m plenty happy with it. I should check to see if it’s polished. If it is, an RCA2 would be even better.
I also have an RCA4 I might try in there for S&Gs.
This is in a partscaster which is probably basswood since it’s the lightest guitar I’ve ever owned. Very resonant body. Funny how some of the cheaper guitars alive owned sound and play the best.
