The Seymour Duncan SJM-2 Hot Jazzmaster Bridge pickup. FREE shipping in the USA!
Application Boosted output true single-coil for warm instruments. Perfect for surf, jazz, blues, classic rock and heavy rock.
Description This direct replacement looks like a stock Jazzmaster® pickup, but "under the hood," it's a high octane "beast!" Compared to the SJM-1 Vintage, you get more output, boosted bass and lower-mid range response, and greater sustain. Does not include a cover.
Complete setup Available in a matched neck and bridge set. The neck version is RW/RP to create a humbucking effect when used together with the bridge model. Often, the Hot neck pickup is used together with the SJM-3 Quarter-Pound bridge pickup for tonal versatility.
Guitars For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.
About the Guitars: We used all brand new medium-weight Japanese-made instruments with basswood bodies and rosewood boards and a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. We kept the pickup-to-string heights consistent between each change of pickups.
About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer.
