I'm wondering whether I need to change the stock speaker in my amp (Ampeg Reverberocket 1x12). I love the clean tones and the dirty tones give me all the grit I'm looking for. However, when I turn the gain up past 6, it starts to splatter and lose definition. This is a problem with both...

Has anyone tried replacing the magnet of their Jazz neck from an A5 to an A2? I'm considering doing that to warm it up a bit and have a better match for my CC (which is on the way). If you have, what has been the difference in tone and responsiveness? I'm looking for an overall warmer and...

I have a JB that soynds very bright, very compressed, and very highoutput in my guitar. I'm looking for something with the nice tight bass sound and responsiveness, but with a mellower overall tone and a little less output. Is the Airzone what I'm looking for?

I'm currently trying to figure out how to mellow the high end of the JB pickup I recently installed. I really like the string definition, responsiveness and tight low end (no more flubby low notes!), but not the shrill highs. Part of it is because it's a bright pickup, but it's also the...
