All right fellas, my new (to me) all-original vintage '65 Jazzmaster arrived yesterday. Unfortunately during transit it took a little knock to some of the solder joints inside so the electronics are a little fussy at the moment. We have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow. But in the meantime I got it to cooperate long enough to hammer out a little jam without cutting out. Just drums and guitar on this one...I had to have a beat to bang away with. Drums get a little lost a couple of times...remind me to fire my drummer.
I tried hitting it about as hard as I could, but by take 3 the energy kind of fizzled a bit. Suffice it to say, this guitar was made to be hammered. The pickups are technically single coil, but to me they lean a little into P90 territory. Tons of bite. Hopefully that bite came thru on "tape" like it did in the room. I started on the neck pickup, and switched to the bridge about half way through. They're both very bitey.
Same setup you've already heard otherwise: '68 Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue, Vintage channel...everything pretty much on 5. Ibanez TS9, with everything just under 5. '65 Jazzmaster, bone stock.
But before the clip, a little gear pr0n:
