JB Jr neck model in bridge vs, C-5 in bridge

[Naps]

Here's a few clips I did at low volume with a SM 57.

http://www.soundclick.us/fastkG/09/04/freemp3/naps010+jbjrnvsc5.mp3

Specs-
Mesa Solo 50 - quiet settings- everything at 0 except output at about 2, Master 1-2, presence 5, gain 5. (low, mid and highs set at 0)

JB Jr guitar - Pieced together (PTG) strat, Warmoth maple neck/board, basswood or alder body(can't tell), 500K pots

C-5 guitar - MIA Strat, rosewood board, alder body, 250K pots

I'd definatly give the guitar advantage to the MIA strat. The MIA strat is really heavy for a strat and the PTG guitar is extreemely light.

and incase my playing is so bad you can't tell-
1) My name is jonus - Weezer
2) When I Come Around - Green Day
3) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns and Roses
4) I Beleive in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness
5) Back in Black - AC/DC
6) Fight for Your Right - Beastie Boys

Well, i found the JB best for the "classic rock" stuff and the Custom best for the modern stuff\punk

The JB had the bite, and the Custom had the heavyness, IMO

I preffer Jbjr
more rounded ickup
the C5 sounds like it´s reduced middles decreased the distortion level .

The C-5 seems to be more "in your face" and doesn't have those mids that I'm used to.

The JB Jr. seems to be rounded and can distort better.

JB Jr. gets my vote.

i preferred the JB jr. for everything except ACDC, where the more vintage sound of the C5 sounded better........overall, the JB jr seemed to have more sizzle and a more alive (distorted) sound.....but the C5 seemed a little tighter, better for the classic rock stuff
