I tried this combo, and to tell you the truth I was NOT at all impressed w/ it at all.

Re: Anyone installed Filtertrons in their Jazzmaster ?
Silver Falcons and Jazzmasters couldn't be more different, though. Pickups only amplify sound, they don't create it. And a solid body Fender is obviously a world away from a semi-hollow (or hollow?) bodies Gretsch, so great sound in one could sound "off" in the other, and vice-versa.ollenorin wrote: hi curtis !

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

yes but gretsch uses those pickups in a lot of their solidbody guitars as well.....and i doubt they suck.

It's hit or miss, with the ultimate judge being your own ears. Curtis said he wasn't impressed, and I put a high degree of value on his professional opinions. But that doesn't mean that person B wouldn't like it, so if you're curious, go for it and report back.

I am sure a custom wound set would sound fine

Re: Anyone installed Filtertrons in their Jazzmaster ?
I've never get the chance to play a gretsch but I know that they're sparkly sounding..so 'trons are different in construction from Jazzmaster's but the ending result should be similar..maybe the 'trons with the blade instead of the polepieces could be more interesting..

Re: Anyone installed Filtertrons in their Jazzmaster ?
I owned a Duo jet once and it was nothing like a Jazzmaster a humbucking puckup captures frequency in a different way. Some people just think of pickups in term of output, but there is way more to it than that.

Someone here has a Strat with 3 'trons in it, and he says it sounds great.

Re: Anyone installed Filtertrons in their Jazzmaster ?
Yep - that's me. It's actually a Hamer Daytona (their way better take on a Strat). Fantastic clean tones, really clear and sparkly. Push it, and it overdrives nicely - very Pete Townshendy.
I dig it.
