Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
The P90 isn't any more "inferior and outdated" than any other passive single coil pickup design. Plus, it sounds fucking awesome. For the sounds I'm trying to achieve, it works way better than any modern noiseless design.mbene085 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:32 pmThe P90 is a noisy design from the 1940s.

I understand Fender keeping their own legacy products going for the sake of history, but it's definitely moving backwards to be sticking the things on Fenders in the 2020s.
Part of this is on them as a company, and part of it is on guitarists for fetishizing ancient designs instead of moving forward.

Yeah, they did consider it inferior and outdated, but it remained popular anyway.

I wasn't saying that it was. I'm just saying that the people who invented it looked at it 10 years later and thought, "man, we need to replace this already," so it's funny to see people obsessing about them over half a century later.

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
I certainly don’t hate it, but I like P90’s.
This is the land of too many options, so why
would Fender be any different?

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
maybe it's just my love for brown guitars but i'd buy it and just remove the middle pickup and cover over it with a pickguard

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
thats the thing, the brown color is great, i think they should do it more! on the other side, middle pickups are terrible imo, and once you remove it, you essentially have a classic player jazzmaster with different routing and pickup covers. this is honestly one of the most phoned in models fender have done in a while.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:24 ammaybe it's just my love for brown guitars but i'd buy it and just remove the middle pickup and cover over it with a pickguard

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
I’ve thought more about this. I still think this is a fun option for some players. I like p90s existing in the world even if it’s not my jam. That a model like this is hitting this level of production is just interesting. I’m glad they’re trying new things.
But damn I really wish they’d just give us a player grade offset with a maple board and decently open routing options. Like a good Mexican modding platform would be welcome.

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
Honestly yeah, they should just bring back my favorite ampro I finishes and make them the standard mexican player JM instead of the stupid hh model. Just use the same pickups as the classic vibes, but have the simplified ampro 1 wiring. It would sell so well. Maybe a white one with a white pickguard and maple neck?blunderbuss wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:04 pm

Heck yeah. With the wiring for the rhythm circuit there if you want it. I'd buy the crap out of that to mess around with. I really hope we see something like this when they revamp the Player line. Sort of like the CME Shell Pink that's forever is preorder.manwithtitties wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:32 pmHonestly yeah, they should just bring back my favorite ampro I finishes and make them the standard mexican player JM instead of the stupid hh model.

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
The Noventa “Tele” looks sorta cool. No idea why it isn’t an Esquire. Then again Fender has “Offset Telecasters” that don’t have a Tele body or Tele pickups.
3 P90s is one or two too many in my book though.

Yeah, a P-90 Esquire is something I would consider useful.

I mean, obviously there's this...

Seems they've missed a trick making this the one guitar in the world they don't offer in sunburst. Or perhaps intentially not?

Re: Fender Noventa Jazzmaster
I'm sort of befuddled by P90s at the moment. I have a SG Classic the prior owner pull some sort of Lollar P90s into to replace the stock offerings. I'm a single coil only house, and these pickups are absolutely the most quiet pickups I have access to, even with lots of distortion on. I even thought they might be some sort of weird humbucker under the cover, but they aren't.mbene085 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:32 pmIs it, though?blunderbuss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 5:51 pmI mean it’s awesome how popular P90s have become.
