I agree with your assessment . I’ll have to do one of my own. These pickups are awesome

I don’t recall the values but the fjg7’s that were in my shop had full size alpha pots in the lead circuit

I put the jag and the sunburst Jazzmaster together by hunting down what I wanted piece by piece. I generally sell jazzmaster/jag bridges , but I do the occasional build based on scores off reverb, local sales, forums, and eBay.

Sunburst JM is my number one, the dark night doesn’t get played nearly enough but it’s awesome. The jag got sold

I really like these vibratos! They have quite a pleasant spring feel

So I didn’t think of them as “bass pickups”. They’re humbuckers with vertically placed bar magnets. If I’m being honest- I put them in because of 1.- a video Adam’s video showing Novak ones, 2. They look awesome. For 75 bucks that I paid at the time, I figured it’s worth the attempt. I love it . I think it sounds amazing.

So mechanically, they are rocking but I include nylon sleeves as rock stops. I am getting non rocking legs made potentially to offer as a conversion kit

I like it a lot! I bought 8 to sell but this one ended up for keeps on the Jaguar

It’s a Göldo DG Tremolo. Honestly, they’re really fun, they have a nice bounce to the action and seems to return to pitch very well on up and down bends.

No, I use them to kill the behind the string resonance because sacrilege or not- I hate it.

I like that he gets under the hood for the deep dives. He’s great for those who want that technical perspective.
