Don't forget your 8 beers and pint of whisky. That makes all the difference.

So that's why he's called "JOLLY", eh? :laugh2:

Re: Jazz/Jazz combo

I have a Jazz bridge on my Am Std strat, and the poles are still under the strings, and I don't notice any difference between regular and tremspaced.

The Jazz bridge has a nice balanced and tight sound, and if it sounds brighter than what you're used to, just roll the tone back to 8. The best thing about the pickup is it's clear and punchy tone, which works great on clean or gain.

I like the Jazz/2 Surfers I have on that strat, but I still think a great combo for rock/metal is a Custom 5/Jazz. It's similar to a Jazz or 59, but has a bit more power behind the sound, and bigger bass.

Given that, I might use an 0.47 capacitor on the tone control.

The extra power behind the Custom 5 sounds tempting, but I'm not after extra bass... I'm one of those players that loves my treble. My favourite sound from my strat is the amp with 9 gain, 10 treble, and bridge pickup :laugh2:

Well, if it works on your Am Std bridge, I might just go with straight. Angled does look nice, but I'm just not sure if I'd tire of the look after a while...
