Curtis Novak's NEW Jazzmaster Cojones BRIDGE Pickup

Post by JasonTMays » Sun Feb 18, 2024 9:27 am

I kind of got the exclusive on some new Novak Jazzmaster pickups. I've been afraid to post on this cause I'm definitely no shredder and I kind of felt like myself and my playing would be roasted to infinity and beyond. But, I figured this would be worth a share. :)

We’re cool here. Post whatever. We won’t roast you or make fun of you in any way.
Anyhow, thanks for posting! Novak does great work and is a stand up guy.

That was a good video. I'd bet the majority of people here play guitar pretty similar to how you play, so don't be nervous about putting stuff up, and welcome.

Nice work - presents the pickup sound in a way that lets people really hear it instead of showing off 17 different riffs which clutter the ears. Liked the presentation format too.

Sounds great, will be interested to see the specs on these when they come out. Do you have any thoughts on how these compare to Curtis’s other alternative bridge pickups? Do you think this really ends up feeling like it is between the JM-V and JM-FAT?

I think a lot of people forget on videos to actually play some damn chords and let us hear what a guitar sounds like in a non-showoff fashion. I can tell more about a guitar, pedal or amp from just some simple strummed cowboy or power chords than I ever can with some horrible blues noodling.

I think your demo was perfect. Thank you

Ah love your channel and Working Class Music. Welcome ;D

Bridge pickup sounds especially good. I'm currently using a JM-FAT with tone at 7. Did you have tone all the way up in the bridge pickup demo?
