    Any advice for a jazz bass pickups beginner

    Hello everyone, First of all, I couldn't decide if this was the right place to ask the question or in the bassment since it's a pickup topic. Sorry if it's misplaced The question: I own 2 Jazz basses (2 Fender american pro), a 4 and a 5 strings fully passive (and I want to keep them passive)...

    higher output for a neck pickup

    Hello users! I'm here cause I want to change my neck pickup on my ESP Horizon (alder body, mapple top, ebony fingerboard so you know). The guitar came stock with a JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck. I already changed the JB and put a TB6 instead (I'm a massive fan of this pickup). The '59...

    Neck swap to shred

    Hello forumers, I own an ESP Horizon (alder body, maple archtop, ebony fretboard) with a Distortion in the bridge and a '59 in the neck. The '59 sounds good but a bit weak for what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something with a high output to play mainly leads in distortion. Something thicker...

    More output for a king V

    I acquired an used KV2 with JB/JB combo in it. This axe sounds great, the JB has the right balance of mids in this guitar even if the guitar sounds a lil too bright but that's not my problem. Well let's face it, even if the sound is very articulate and well balanced it's a bit weak and if I add...

    New pup(s) for my Kelly

    Hello, I got a Jackson Kelly KE5FR (discontinued model) with a huge alder body (pretty heavy :1: ), mapple neck thru and a rosewood fingerboard. It came stock with (no surprise) the JB/Jazz combo on it. That sounds good but my other guitar has a ebony fingerboard and I prefer the sound of that...

    Bridge Pickup for alder body guitar

    Hello, I've got an alder body guitar with ebony fingerbord (with an OFR also) which has right now a blackout ahb1 set. I am thinking about something to swap those pickups for a moment and since I have a JB/Jazz set in all of my guitars (and I love it) I though first putting the same set in the...

    Question about the blackout preamp

    Hello, I just bought a new guitar and it was a limited edition run. The thing I didn't know was that the guitar is set with a JB/Jazz set AND the new blackout modular preamp (wasn't written anywhere). Since I'm more a passive tone fan, I turned the preamp pot on 0 to play without the effect but...

    Passive option for a too bright guitar

    Hello, Here 's my problem: I've got 2 similar guitars set with active p-u. Both have alder body, mapple neck and ebony fretboards. Both were sold with EMG p-u but after trying the AHB-1 blackouts in those 2, I decide to keep them instead of EMGs. The problem is one of those 2 tends to be too...

    Something to replace a JB

    Hello, I've just bought a new guitar set with passive Duncans (JB-b and Jazz-n). The guitar is a Jackson with a mapple neck through alder body with rosewood fingerboard and it has a floyd rose. The guitar already sounds amazing but I'm not 100% satisfied with the JB sound. I already own another...
