Lol. The 'J' in JB never needed to stand for anything, apparently.

Re: I need a jazz pickup - help!
For me, if my Ibanez had their Super 58 pickup, I would not change it. I have guitars with Classic '57s, BB 1&2, Ants, Seths, Pearlys, Custom Shop Seths, '59/JB...and honestly, the Super 58s can hang with any of them. I'm not a "pure" jazz player, in that my band also does blues, rock, country and fusion. But the Super 58 is a very sweet pickup; very underrated, IMO.

I actually forgot about the Super 58's, they ARE really good pickups. I had an ibanez semihollow for a few years while I was studying jazz guitar in university and it had a GREAT jazz sound.

I have to add that an Antiquity will sound like an old PAF does 60 years later. A Seth Lover is sort of the same pickup when new. So something like a vintage ES-175 might use something close to an Antiquity, while when it was new, the pickup was closer to the Seth Lover. Both get great jazz tones.

Re: I need a jazz pickup - help!
I have no idea what pickup came with the guitar, but I just can't get a sound I like. I'm using a little Roland 55 Jazz Chorus amp. I want something tighter, fatter, rounder, and more dry (Does dry make sense? I mean, for wine, sure, but jazz pickups? :alcoholic)
