Members travisbrowning Posted April 22, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2018 Jazzmaster is a Squier Vintage Modified, refinished in nitro Ocean Blue metallic, GFS Jazzmaster Pickups, took out the rhythm circuit, mustang bridge, blacked out the guard/knobs/covers/toggle switch. Heres an iPhone clip of my amp. https://soundcloud.com/travisbrowning-1/test Mustang is a Squier Bullet, added a GFS bridge, blue Mustang pickguard from Amazon, black pickup covers, 1 gold foil pickup in the neck straight to the volume pot and output jack. Heres a clip into a digital blackface fender amp. https://soundcloud.com/travisbrowning-1/mustangtest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I like the look of the stripped-down Jazzmaster a lot - nice job Travis! I can see the argument for pulling the rhythm circuit in a JM or Jag... they are pretty bassy and not a lot of people use them. As far as the Mustang, I don't use the bridge pickup by itself a lot, and I do like the sound of the neck position, but I like the neck + bridge combinations too much (both in and out of phase) to be willing to give up the switches on my Duo Sonic or Mustang. But if that's what you prefer, a Musicmaster's just (another) pickguard swap away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlamoJoe Posted April 22, 2018 Members Share Posted April 22, 2018 The Mustang gave me a bit of GAS actually. That's a really sharp color on that guitar. Back in the late 60's a fella I played with for a bit had a Duo-Sonic that I kept calling a Mustang...Irritated the dickens out of him. I was playing bass for him at the time and had a Musicmaster for my 6 string. I wish I still had it and the Silvertone Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bullet Mustang only comes with a 3 way toggle, if it had come with a classic Mustang switching system I probably would've kept it in, set both pickups to always on and then use the switch to toggle series/parallel.

Members AJ6stringsting Posted April 23, 2018 Members Share Posted April 23, 2018 Those GFS Gold Foil pickup sounded nice. You did a great job on the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lefort_1 Posted June 14, 2018 Members Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hey Travis, I just stopped by for a second. ...like, for the first time in about 2 years. Your results look really nice and I love the sound of the second clip... it has that edge. I can definitely see the benefits of the first guitar as well... so nice for clean passages. When did you pick up the rattle can? Looks pretty good. I half-expected to see an old Teisco silver-topped pickup shoehorned in there somewhere.
