Ooo p90s are pure sex, love it!
Oh good! My first opportunity to point out that Jazzmaster pickups aren’t P90s! They look very similar, but they’re wound very differently and have a distinctly different sound.
But they’re both pure sex, so you’re not wrong on the fundamentals, lol
Oh, interesting, I see those pole spacing and covers and I assumed they were p90s
Not an uncommon assumption! I learned this by making the same assumption on Reddit a few years ago
In a surprise twist, the pickups in the J Mascis models are constructed more like p90s than typical jazzmaster pickups, with bar magnets along the bottom and the adjustable screw pole pieces. Guess they figured jazzmaster pickups weren't confusing enough people as is! 😅
Hah! I did not know that. They just gotta keep us guessing on this stuff
Thank you! I initially was planning on swapping them out for more traditional jazzmaster single coils but I fell in love with the sounds you can get out of the these. I mostly play indie and powerpop type music and they're perfect for that
