JMx neck
Lipstick neck
and his Jaguar bridge pickup.
I will update this thread as I try out these pickups, and let people know the word on these since most are brand new. Hopefully have sound clips of them all too.
First set up is JMx neck with AVRI bridge pickup.
I was a bit worried at first thinking that since the pickup is not height adjustable that it might be hard to balance out with the bridge pickup without throwing my bridge pickup sound out of wack. I tested this pickup at 5.5k I believe and it matches with the Jag bridge nicely. I will be trying it with the Novak Jaguar bridge pickup then too. By itself it sounds like a JM to a degree. On the Jag I would amost say it is more "spanky." On the rhythm circuit it sounds great. Nice warm sound, but even under high gain it remains defined and not muddy. My test for neck pickup muddiness is playing The Grobe by Ween.
The middle position is interesting. I would be anxious to hear these pickups as a set. You can get those nice rhythm Jazzmaster tones out of the center. Sometimes my Jag gets muddy in the middle position, but this sounds nice, and with the gain rolled way back (its a Tiny Terror) it has an almost acoustic quality. I think these actually sound better for Surf than the Jag pickups. Palm muted it has a more percussive sound.
If you have any questions about different setups with this pickup let me know. Should be on the lipstick tomorrow.
