Re: Adam Jones
The bridge pickup is a JB, and the neck is probably stock.
IIRC, most of the Tool sound we know and love is a Marshall Bass head.
You probably won't hear it, as he very rarely uses the neck pup in the studio, and never live.joelap said:

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.

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.

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.joelap said:
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...

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!
