Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?
I don’t know that I’m willing to make a hard rule as what qualifies as what anymore.
I have a pretty minimalist JM, with just a volume knob, a pickup switch, and a couple wide ranges.
I’d let anyone call it one or the other with no offense to either name.

Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?
I think we all seem to be in agreement that the only definite requirement is the specific inclusion of Wide Ranges. Other than that, *cough*, fuck rules

Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?
I don't agree with that. I'll call any Jazzmaster with humbuckers a Jazzblaster, and I'm sure I've seen plenty of other people around here do the same in the past.

Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?

I'm wondering what the mix of pickups and switching you're including in the build?
I have a JazzmasterJunior -- single bridge chrome-covered humbucker with lightning wrap bridge.
It's a pine body, fabric top, with flamed-maple binding. When I build another, I'll use non-flamed-maple binding as the flamed grain cracked a lot during install even using steam bending techniques.

Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?
I've mostly only ever seen people relatively new to the offset world using it for HH Jazzmasters (there may be exceptions). For the vast majority of people here I think they would attribute the term to a WRHB-equipped JM as per the original inventors of the modification and term.
Plenty of people can be wrong. But who cares? I do, a little, sure... I'll admit that. I think definitions shouldn't be so loose that they begin to lose their point entirely (which is to define something to someone else). A HH JM and a WRHB JM are two very different sounding guitars.

Novak JM-PAFs and traditional wiring. I really like and use the rhythm circuit a lot.

Re: What separates a Jazzmaster from a Jazzblaster?
I'm still going to side with the plenty of people you think are wrong, over the consensus of less than ten people chiming in on this thread. I don't think I've seen that vast majority expressing that position you assert, (and I do some serious lurking around here) but I could be wrong.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:23 amI've mostly only ever seen people relatively new to the offset world using it for HH Jazzmasters (there may be exceptions).

Also, I don't consider a WRHB that much different from other humbuckers in general. I have the new Fender CuNiFes, and I have the Ranaldo sig with the imitation WRHBs. I also have about 90% of the Seymour Duncan catalog, and plenty of others. Different humbuckers cover a huge breadth different tones, and WRHBs are just somewhere in there leaning in a particular direction.

What I really want to know is what separates a Ghettoblaster from a Ghettomaster.
