Seymour Duncan SJM-3B BLK

Great pickup to replace my pickups from Squier Jazzmaster.
He solved everything I was expecting. Not removing the tonal feature of the jazzmaster, it has a much more robust and full-bodied sound than the original pickup. More bass, mid-range more defined and treble soft and balanced. The bridge is already usable on this guitar. Saturates well an amplifier. It has a good performance in both cleans and overdrive or distortion.

I bought this to replace my rather lackadaisical stock pickups on a MIJ Jazzmaster. I combined it with the recommended SJM-2N. I was instantly impressed with the tonal step up.

Clean: Every note seemed to be on steroids; sounds were bright but not ear-splitting. It kept the Jazzmaster tone, but made it so much better.

Dirty: This was where I was most worried. My stock pickups were so weak and flimsy, they barely changed tone on the distortion channel, meaning I was reliant on pedals to hit a decent sound. The worst area on my previous pickups was sustain. I would strum a note or a chord, and it would die almost immediately.

Thankfully, the SJMs absolutely shine on the dirty channel. Again, incredible note clarity, and fantastic sustain to boot! I really can't praise the new tone enough. It turns my Jazz into such a more versatile guitar, providing suitable sounds for rock and grunge, and even punk and hardcore.

Any hum? Nope.

I am thoroughly satisfied with the combined upgrade, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a Jazzmaster.

Ich habe mir nach langer Zeit wieder eine Jazzmaster gekauft, weil ich in den 70er eine aus den 60ern hatte und mich momentan auf einem klanglichen Nostalgietrip befinde. Die Soundvorstellung, die ich von dieser Gitarre hatte (Erinnerung), konnte diese neue Jazzmaster jedoch nicht ganz erfüllen. Nach längerer Suche wurde ich dann bei Youtube fündig: Neck Seymour Duncan SJM-2N mit einem grandiosen authentischen Vintage-Sound und Bridge den SJM-3B Quarterpounder mit dem ausgewogenen Extra um im Vergleich zum Neckpickup nicht zu dünn zu klingen.

Die Thomannbestellung war 2 Tage später da und die Pickups auch gleich eingebaut. Der Sound ist gigantisch! Genau so habe ich mir die Jazzmaster vorgestellt – da kommt wirklich nur noch eine ganz alte ran!
