Re: Another JB Thread
Not all of em iirc
I had a charvel model #something swimming pool 80s body that I swapped like 3 necks around on for experimentation, a Fender a Squier and a Fernandes strat copy iirc... pretty sure they all fit
Eventually went with a JB in bridge and and a shaved bare & BLO'd fernandes neck, LSR nut, old super-oxidized heavy brass saddles from another axe, used schaller lockers, two random partsbox singles of unknown origin and murky pedigree, and some wacky no-switch wiring scheme that had two volumes and a blend knob iirc.
Awesome hard rock shredder, nailed all sorts of tones from late 70s to 90s. Flipped it for like 400 bucks, pretty decent and pretty much as high as humanly possible for a non-fender partscaster with a no-decal neck

Re: Another JB Thread
This was a while back, maybe you guys are right and there was 1/32" of space on either side? Or maybe not? Dunno really dont remember except that it worked out as a kickass partscaster
I didnt read that right the first time around and thought it said that Fender pockets were the wider ones (other way around though)... so my ability to squeeze a possibly-narrower neck into a possibly-wider pocket really doesnt say much lol

Re: Another JB Thread
I can relate. I keep on being unsure if I like TB-4 in the bridge position of Charvel 375 Deluxe with a maple fingerboard. Also because of the big tone difference comparing with the two SSL-4 in the other positions.
Anyway, comparing it again with Suhr SSV+ Bridge on this guitar, I think that it has more low mids in its sound... or am I wrong?

I'm surprised at that comparison. I had always read the SSV+ was JB-ish, but it sounded like it had a much more promient almost P90-ish attack. Almost as if it were run in parallel.
