Any single size similar to Jazz

[Travis]

Just out of curiosity, are there any single coil sized humbuckers that approximate the tone of the Jazz? Hot Rails too hot, Cool Rails seems more like a 59 or PAF, Vintage Rails tries to be more of a single coil. Anyone think of something else?

Maybe try a Lil Screaming Demon?

A Jazz Stack isn't a bad idea though.

No. There's no reason for one. A good Strat pickup is already brighter and clearer than any full size humbucker anyway. Lew

I just meant that at least in my mind, the Jazz Neck Humbucker seems to have been created to give a brighter, clearer tone than other humbuckers that were available at the time: early 70's.

I always suspected that Seymour, being a Fender player at heart, was trying to come up with a humbucker design with more clarity and sparkle...like we get from the neck pickup on our Strats. For THAT tone, an SSL-1, Tex Hot, Antiquity II, or any great 6-6.5K Strat neck pickup would probably do the trick.

I've never heard a Strat pickup with the actual tone of a Jazz neck HB...tho the Little 59 neck might be closest.

Seymour Duncan should make "lil" versions of all their best pups... well some of them. Maybe there should be a lil Jazz model humbucker.
