Re: dose jb stand for jeff beck, but he dosnt use em

Beck used those pickups when he was arguably playing his best stuff and had his best tone, on the Blow by Blow and (I believe) Truth albums. Cause We've Ended as Lovers is a great example from that "oxblood Les Paul" era.

Of course now he is playing Strats and being paid by Fender (man is notoriously cheap) so this is no longer his setup.

you guys can do a search on the forum as this has been discussed several times...Jeff Beck has the first ever JB/Jazz set in his Tele Gib which Seymour built for him...it was used all over Blow by Blow and other records that came after it and is still used today in the studio.

Nah, it's a reversed abbreviation for a sexual act men use to appreciate...
 
Re: dose jb stand for jeff beck, but he dosnt use em

lol one hell of a list Seafoamer

But seriously, I was pretty sure it stands for either Jazz/Blues or Jazzy/Bluesy; one of the two. All the bloody techs call the JB "the Jeff Beck" and when I found out what it stood for it started to annoy me when techs said it lol.

Nice to read the man backing that up--"jazzy blues" sounds kinda goofy...:)

You mean it sounds just as goofy as "Evenly voiced harmonics" sounds for the EVH pup?

All jokes aside, I have been jonesing to get a Tele-Gib for myself
Like my own rip off

so what do I need? A 52 RI and a new bridge piece. It had the 3 barrel bridge, no? then what? 250k pots? add a JB/Jazz and voila??
