The stock one is cool & jangly but I HATE THE FUCKING SLAPBACK. Its annoyi ng.

pbradley · 06.06.2007, 05:59 AM

since most of what I play is hard and angry thrashin, the bridge leaves it pretty useless to me. I'll just buy a mustang bridge like my friend.

king_buzzo · 06.06.2007, 06:24 AM

T-o-M's are better for jags/jm's

ZEROpumpkins · 06.06.2007, 07:14 AM

Yeah the bridge is incredibly annoying, I can't believe it passed quality control.

king_buzzo · 06.06.2007, 09:50 AM

You can fix it. Its easy to get it tame the beast. Go to the offsetguitars forum and post there
Now!

Infinite J influence...

Mustang Bridges are the easiest way to alleviate the problems...speaking from experience...I'm gonna get another one for my Jag that just got fixed.

MellySingsDoom · 06.06.2007, 01:44 PM

Can I just say that, on looking at all the Jags and JM's here, I came?

Well J yeah. and a ton of people on the offsetguitar forum say that they're great and that theyre also loud while unplugged with the tom. I dislike the way mustang bridges look.

CHOUT · 06.06.2007, 02:45 PM

I'm sure the tuneomatic setup is nice, but it usually requires redrilling/rerouting of the body that can't so easily be done by us mere non-techs. I've never played one that way, I'd like to see what it's like.

I just think it's funny fender never caught on and redesigned the jm jag bridges or just added mustang bridges to 'em...they're so unfunctional by themselves.

king_buzzo · 06.06.2007, 02:55 PM

^Yeah even the company dissmissed them as the worst bridges but they dont seem to change them.

Yeah tuneomatics seem to add more sustain as well. I guess they're easy to install. You dont need to drill as long as they're standard tom's. But you do need to drill in the saddles.

Zeropumpkins, 2 things to do, take nail polish, apply it on the bridge saddles and the bridge post screws and leave it to dry (the nail polish hardens and it makes the bridge saddles stay in place and the bridge post screws in place so that they dont fall down. Also, if you can, wrap some tape around the bridge posts and the bottom screws, so that they dont touch the metal parts in the grounding posts, which will decrease buzz.

I need to redo my bridge soon, the nail polish is wearing out.

What colour do you use? Hot Pink???

ZEROpumpkins · 06.07.2007, 03:24 AM

Do you have a Jag or JM yourself, buzzo? Your tips seem to suggest so.

No!!! Glittery silver.

Actually its just see through

JM's for life, ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!

ZEROpumpkins · 06.07.2007, 07:07 AM

Wow you have a Jazzmaster? Nice. That was my first choice. After I get a better amp and a bass i'll be after a JM. Do you have a MIJ JM, buzzo? I heard they come with jag pickups! You gotta get USA jazz pickups for that mellow Jazzmaster sound.

king_buzzo · 06.07.2007, 07:50 AM

Yeah! Its CIJ, as in crafted in japan which is a later version. Its so weird! The pickups arent wound like the original JM pickups!! They're more straty-single coil-ey which is fine but i wanna upgrade!!!!!!

I need a better amp and I'll probably get a Jag after.

Don't know which pickups to get though, theres a ton but im thinking about the USA or the SD Vintage. Hmmm

Those saddles are fucking murder, I've had so much wyrk done on my jazzmaster trying to circumvent that problem, it seems throwing it against the floor is the best solution for me.

king_buzzo · 06.07.2007, 01:16 PM

You 2 are idiots its so easy to fix it.
