Hello guys and girls!

I have to replace my old (broken) pickups with new ones from Duncan. I might take a JB for the brifge but i am not sure what to take for the NECK position. I cannot decide between a 59 or Jazz HB.

Could you please describe the differences of these two (tone wise), please !


By the way, i have a mahagony/maple top guitar body without trem. And i look for a articulate, rounded sound that is NOT too bassy or muddy. A BIT of a "hollow" sound (just imagine strat neck sc) would be nice, if possible.

So, what would be better ? Thanx in advance

It's said JazzN and 59N are similar but the Jazz has less bass btw....

Definitely the Jazz over the 59 here. The 59 has a bit too much bass for my tastes. The Jazz is clearer, and to me it has a bit of a hollow sound, although I find the 59 to be smoother overall.

GO WITH THE JAZZ!!!!! I used to roll the 59 in the neck & it was muff city!!! ( I had 500K pots too) I now have the jazz & its way better. Unless you get the 59 & use 1 meg pots. (huh i said pot!! lol )= ):duck: :duck: :duck: :duck: :poed: :duck: :18: : popworm: :wave: :beerchug: :cool3: :jester: :dot: :duck: :poed: :33: :arg: :eyecrazy: :nana: ;) :scared: :sword: :?: :oh: :foot: :cop:
