    Great video! Fine playing, demonstration, and explanations.

    I was practically changing the pickups of my j mascis and finally left them because I liked both the classic fender and the mascis p90s style also

      I may end up putting the stock pickups back into the JMJM. My Classic Vibe has enough of a real Jazzmaster sound as is.

    Always enjoy your reviews, mods, & music vids. I use them to learn the ole surf stuff. Probably not gona mod my J.M. jazzmaster, just like it the way it came. 😅

    That guitar sounds great with the new pickups.

    Those replacement pickups certainly are more high/bright oriented than many P90s. That certainly works best for some types of music. .... I also see that you prefer Fender guitars. AND, I appreciate your comment of "...when I was young...". I have you by quite a few years. I've always been most attracted to the tone of a P90 on a mahogany guitar, so have leaned towards old Gibsons, even as a bass player who almost exclusively played Fenders. ...and I still have and play a Tele and Strat around the house, because they do different things better. But I love the tone of a P90 on old mahogany, and still have a couple of old Gibsons. I even just recently bought a newer Epiphone Les Paul Special to do a P90 conversion, but the cheap humbuckers on it sound decent enough that it's going to stay that way for a while. Your guitar and your playing sound great. Maybe something totally different is in store for me. Thanks!

      I'm still on the fence about the new pickups. I'm playing tonight (2/5) so I'll get another chance to play it live. Yeah, I'm a big Fender fan!

    Good evening, David, it's 21:XX now.
    You showed very interesting pickups that seriously load the midrange and high frequencies, but do not compress the high frequencies. These characteristics are achieved by high-tension ceramic magnets with very smooth and careful winding. These magnets are very popular among metal-style players.
    David, you make a very good point that the overall presence of the highs is excessive, and power chords sound best at around 6.
    The wood also dries out and better transmits axial vibrations according to their duty cycle.

    • @anotherheadlessdemo
      @anotherheadlessdemo  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm fairly certain that the magnets in the new pickups are Alnico V. I don't know about the stock pickups, which could have been ceramic. The stock pickups were really good for fuzz and high gain.

      I still have a CV Jazzmaster which I plan to keep as is. It does sound a little different that the JMJM with Pure Vintage 65s.

  • @gustavoberocan
    @gustavoberocan 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    In the J Mascis Jazzmaster the distance from the tremolo system to the bridge is shorter than in the vintage specs. This may also alter slightly the feel of the tremolo bar.

    • @anotherheadlessdemo
      @anotherheadlessdemo  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It defintley does. There's a comparison video I did between the CV Jazzmaster and the JMJM where I mention that.

    I love my jazzmaster ,she is a 62 and is best guitar i ever played , actually setting tone co trol to 8 is sensible as the amps from tne time the guitar was made were generally darker, get used to people at gigs asking you about the "p90s" and thinking it is a jaguar

    I've owned hundreds of guitars over the years of every type, and for some reason, I've never gotten my hands on a Fender Jazzmaster. I've kind of always wanted one, though.

      The J Mascis went out of production but Squier recently brought it back. It's the best Squier I've owned (or played).

      @@anotherheadlessdemo I've had a couple of classic vibes over the years. I used them for gigging when the dive bar seemed like a place I could get robbed--I could stand losing a 300 dollar guitar, but not my higher end stuff. The CV guitars were every bit as good as my more expensive ones. You get a lot of guitar for cheap in that series, for sure.

      I was noticing that there is a different J Mascis set available. They have flat poles and in terms of output, somewhere between the Pure Vintage and P'90s. I'm intrigued.

    I've had one for 3 1/2 years. I enjoy playing it and it's lead me to write different songs and to explore different sonic territory. But, I always end up going back to playing my Les Pauls, 335's and SG's. So much so over the last year that I haven't played my Jazzmaster more than a handful of times. So, I'm selling it tomorrow. Maybe I'll try again in a couple of years. At least I enjoy your playing of one.

    • @anotherheadlessdemo
      @anotherheadlessdemo  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      When I first started playing I was all about Les Pauls and 335s. After buying my first Fender (a Strat), I was hooked. That said, lately I've been getting out the old SG to play! Definitely a different experience than any Fender.

    • @anotherheadlessdemo
      @anotherheadlessdemo  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think if I played in a more straight ahead rock band, I would have kept the stock pickups. Like I said, these Pure Vintage pickups really do put me in the Tele territory (perfect for country).

      ​@@anotherheadlessdemo Hi David. It's a Revelation Jazzmaster with 2 custom wound A-90 (P-90) pups, 3 way selector switch, 5 way variable tone knob with chicken head, bolt on neck, binding on neck and headstock, Strat style vintage bridge. Came with 10's, rosewood f/b, Okume body= lighter than a Strat but feels like Japan qc. It's left handed and worth 3 times what I paid for it to me. The pups are high power and deliver anything from rock to blues to jazz with ease. I've never heard another guitar that sounds as good as it and I have 43 electrics and playing as a hobbyist for nearly 25 yrs. The guitar is made in the U.K. and it came from London. It's one of my holy grail guitars. Didn't come with a case, bought a very heavy duty one for it, heavier than the guitar for optimum protection. I chose it on a whim for the price, used LH Fender was $1000, new one was $4000 at the time ✌️🎸
