103Robot Graves aluminum neck for my Squier. Can't wait!
Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
104I bought one of those Mascis JMs, because I sold one years ago and regretted it ever since. It's ice-pickey as hell, but sounds amazing with fuzz.
One of the pre-2019 ones too. Dinged-up up, but who cares.

105Jazzmasters tend to be as they were designed for that in the lead circuit. Try changing the pots to 500K or even 250K to tame that down.

106I just picked up a 2012 Fender FSR American Vintage Reissue 72 Telecaster Thinline in Black.
It's already had the pickups replaced with Fender's new reissue CuNiFe Wide Range pickups. Pretty stoked. Been wanting to do that to one of these reissues they only made for a couple of years (or with a MIM one). The FSR version has a beefier neck with bigger frets and a 9.5 radius. This puts all of the specs even closer to my long-ago sold/missed 1980 Telecaster Deluxe - but with the addition of an f-hole and a pickup switch that I won't accidentally hit.

108I had a Squier JM with those pickups in it. Insanely hot compared to any other JM. The bridge was over 14k. I think that's where a lot of the harshness is coming from. Do the Squiers already come with lower value pots? Mine had 250k, but it had already been modified somewhat by a previous owner. I ended up replacing the pickups with Antiquity IIs, going back up to 1m pots and it sounds awesome. It can do bright, for sure, but it's pretty even across the spectrum (not ice-picky at all). Not sure if it makes a difference, but mine does not have the additional circuitry, just a volume and a tone, and I leave both all the way up.tommy wrote: Tue Sep 07, 2021 1:46 pmOr do what I've always done and roll off the tone to around 6 or 7.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Tue Sep 07, 2021 12:41 pmJazzmasters tend to be as they were designed for that in the lead circuit.

109But then maybe it wouldn't slay as hard in fuzz mode? Decisions decisions...
Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?
110I should have noted that I have ZERO experience with Squier JM pickups. My advice is mostly for traditional US JM pickups in the 7K range with the wide short bobbins. The MIJ ones are the WORST. Both the MIJ JM and Jag have the thinnest squealing pickups I've ever heard. I'd hope the Mascis ones are better. In fact, aren't they supposed to be more like P90s on that model?
