Replacement Jazzmaster pickups - experiences and recommendations?

[squarewave]

Ahhhh sweet dude. The mini hums jamie wound for me are ace. I’ll bet you really dig yours!!

And back on the bench:



New pots (hardest part):



And in:



Still tinkering with pickup heights but I'm very, very happy with how these sound, and the fact there's no hum might mean these are the keepers.

Nice...I have a set of vintage wide ranges in my jazz master parts caster guitar that I really love the sound of.

Awesome work HB, looking forward to your opinions on those puppies

See, now that would be really something.

I think I've realised that I'm kinda partial to humbuckers that aren't exactly humbuckers. Love my vintage-spec Firebird pickups. Love my Maxon not-quite-real-but-fucking-awesome-anyway-Wide-Range-Humbuckers. And these are right in that wheelhouse - twang and sparkle without the hum.

Loving these, inner. I'd been concentrating on the clean sounds but ran them through some fuzz yesterday (jerms Supa Mk I and jerms Fuzz-Stainer) and they sounded incredible. These are keepers.

I’ll be honest, when Anthony suggested them for my Harvester I was sceptical only because I had never heard of Lance Amp but I was happy to go with it because AP knows his shit right?

When the guitar arrived and I first plugged in
It has P90 coils with jazz master rod magnets in the neck position and regular P90 at the bridge. In the middle setting it is the best ‘clean’ guitar I’ve ever played

...and yes it also loves the fuzz

An old pic for prosperity

So can you order the pups direct now? I thought they were a Harvester only deal

No, I still ordered these through AP at Harvester. Talked with James at Lance, but deal/payment/shipping was done through Harvester. GREAT price, great service.

And yeah, AP does know his stuff. My Harvester also has low-output single coils that are like a cross between a P90 and a Jazzmaster pup, but they were wound by Jerry Sentell. This was back before Lance Amps started winding AP's pups (I'm not sure James even made pickups then) but definitely a similar idea.

Best pic I could find is this one from the Harvester site:

The Lance pups in action! Garageband recording utilising my full one-microphone home studio setup. Every guitar track (and there are possibly too many of them) using the WRMHBs.

Cover of a track by Swithold, 70s funk out of Dayton, Ohio. Guitar is clean except for where it isn't: one track with a jerms Rat and an EAR AD-4096 delay, one track with a jerms Supa Mk I. Two wah tracks, one a Castledine (which adds a little gain), one a Musonic (which doesn't). Two amps: 1970 Vibro Champ and a 1963 Da Vinci (a Magnatone 413). The Da Vinci has a little of the amp vibrato. Next trick is to master playing two wahs at once…
