They are humbuckers, so I used values appropriate for those, 500k and so forth.
On my Jazzmasters I use the stock electronics, though.

Which differe Kinman Jaguar pickups have you tried? I'd love to compare notes once I get my others installed!Ozone7 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 11:15 amThanks all.
My Surfmaster Jazzmaster has 500s and sounds great and chewy.
Closer to P90 than strat.
My Jaguar has 250s as advised by Kinman.
I think it’s a bit on the dark side still.
Tried 500s and didn’t like them.
So I’m just wondering if I should go with the 1M’s I’ve since bought.
Probably end up going back to Blues Jag at that point - now I’ve been round the houses with other Kinman Jag models.
I fitted a set of Kinmans to a strat and the top end is significantly more present than my Jaguar.
Which doesn’t feel right.
I'd definitely start with 1M pots and then go from there.Ozone7 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 11:31 amYep, the Jag’s got the Marr wiring so with the vintage 56k ohm in there for Scooby Doo’s.
I’ve got a Surf Jag in the neck and a Jalapeño hot in the bridge.
It sounds a bit “blunt”, if you know what I mean?
I have Kinman PAFs in my V and they’re brighter.
Think I should try the 1M pots.
Nice, glad to hear you like them as well. Kinmans are humbucking as well as shielded (pickup plus cable), so they're crazy quiet. All my stock Gibsons came with totally unshielded cavities and uncovered pickups and yeah, they were much noisier than Kinmans.wooderson wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 4:26 pmWhoa, just got my JM w/ Fatmasters, these are legit. It's been a while since I had a humbucker guitar but I think they're even quieter than PAF-style pickups but definitely all Jazzmaster.
I've got a Telecaster coming, may have to look at the Kinman Broadcaster set for it down the road.
I've got Surf Jags coming in the mail, so I'll hopefully be able to help in a few weeks.atomicwash wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 10:09 amHas anyone compared the surf-jag to the mod-jag (previously blues-jag)? Differences? Thanks!
Would be interested to hear how you like these. I consider getting these for my Raven Jaguar.Embenny wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 10:53 amI've got Surf Jags coming in the mail, so I'll hopefully be able to help in a few weeks.atomicwash wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 10:09 amHas anyone compared the surf-jag to the mod-jag (previously blues-jag)?

Yeah, don't feel guilty. My refin '62 had (rewound) original pickups before getting the Blues Jags, and my refin '66 has original pickups, but will be getting the Surf Jags.surfin_bird wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 10:31 amWould be interested to hear how you like these.

It has only one original pickup and bad electronics, so I assume it would be forgiven to have one "vintage" jaguar with kinmans.
