    right on. I have the 29" six string baritone from SOLAR. I also use a 80 for my low string, F# standard, but can drop to E for a song here and there perhaps.

    Atomic Music is such a nice store for buying used gear
    Btw, I think it’s the first time TH-cam recommends me a video from a local person, lol

      It's a great store, and great that they've managed to stay in business through all the ups and downs. Old Bay represent! 🦀

    Atomic is great. I fell in love with a Bass VI there a few days ago.

    Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, but Jazzmasters don't have P-90s, they have Jazzmaster pickups which are a different design (wider, shorter bobbins) from P-90s.
    Also, Jazzmasters (even the vintage ones) had 1MOhm pots.
    Nice find and awesome tone.

      I assumed a few things, but good to know! I didn't study up on the history of the Jazzmaster lol

    Got mine new for 500 actually 250 with a trade in. No issues with strings bottoming out so im guessing the bridge issue was your problem. Could have maybe adjusted the string height? Anyways cool find. Going to be putting mine on the bench soon too. Mine has the standard crappy intonation issue and its muddy when tuned to E with 80 gauges.

      Thanks, I wrote it! 😎
      Demiurge was the biggest inspiration

    What did you use for the tone? Sounds awesome.

    Ive asked this question on other channels without an answer..can anyone help?
    So I inherited my dad's Jazzmaster and started to try learning how to play. I also got his Strat.
    Im getting an odd stereo effect in my headphones from the Jazzmaster on a clean channel(run through a Scarlett solo into my PC). It seems to be separating the higher strings notes from the lower ones. and there seems to be a tremolo effect as well on one side..is that normal? its not happening with the strat under the exact same settings(just switching out the cable from one guitar to the other).

      I don't have a lot of experience with jazz master pickups, but that doesn't sound normal. Without stereo pickups and a stereo cable, there's no physical way to get stereo. A normal guitar cable is mono. As for the tremolo, there's nothing under the hood that would be causing that, and it's all passive, so no battery issue. Maybe it's just something with the bridge setup?

    so you don't need a bass guitar with that?

    • @NickLeonard

      You could use it to track "bass", but it still has a different tone and thinner strings. I did record bass for the demo too, even though it's the same notes

      There is the Harley Benton copy for a 10th of that... I've though about picking one up just to compare. By far the cheapest bari if it's any good

    That isn't a double drop, it's just drop E1. Drop shape, low E, 1st octave. Double drop would be EAeac#f# with the two lowest strings detuned a whole step. Mostly, you'd double drop an 8 for the AAL tuning EAEAdgbe.
