Members Cliff Fiscal Posted January 5, 2013 Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm looking to get some replacement pickups for my CIJ. Pickup descriptions include CBS, 50s, late 50s, 60s, etc.... I'm not sure which I want? I'd like some balanced, and not too thin/brittle. Vintage is okay. I don't want anything too modern or high output.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted January 5, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've read a lot on the offset forums too. Still unsure. I have Rose Picassos in it now. They're sweet, but I'd like to get more of a classic tone out of it. Yeah, those a certainly in my price range. Do they compare? I = darker II = brighter ?? I know pots can change those characteristics too. Those eBay pickup builders are in the same range. Pickupwiz, and the others. Novaks are heralded as the best, but a little more $$.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted January 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 My goal is to retain that classic JM tone. I know some early JMs were thinner and "surfy". Which is cool, but I'd like a combination of surf and body, tone wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what year your Jazzmaster is, and what type of wood it's made out of?I ask because some MIJ / CIJ guitars are basswood, and on some of those, a pickup swap won't give you the "classic sound" you're after. At least IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
