Have you ever thought about changing the potentiometer / pot to maybe a mojotone vintage taper they work really well for volume and have a greater sweep

Sounds great!!! Did you swap the pickups out yourself??? Or have a luthier do it??? What parts did you need to make the swap??? I just ordered some TV Jones Classics for my Gretsch 5422. Can’t wait to see the difference!!!
@KyleLauloАй бұрын
@theworshipbunker Thanks, man! No, I had a luthier do the swap. The TV Jones website will tell you everything you need to do this. Also, FYI, the stock wire harness has quick connect clips. He snipped those and soldered directly to the pots.

This has been my experience as well. I ended up swapping in some vintage-spec Filter'trons and I'm loving it. However, the RB pickups are not a standard size, so changing pickups also means custom pickup mounting rings.
@KyleLaulo2 ай бұрын
Interesting. I was considering doing that as well. I really wanted that guitar to work for me because I don't own any other offset body guitars.

@KyleLaulo6 ай бұрын
Thanks! It has a nice range of gain that is better than the Wampler Pinnacle. It can get into lower Marshall gain territory but I don't think that is it's greatest strength. It can do it but there are better pedals out there for that.

@@KyleLaulo Thanks! I’m mainly looking for something that can cover a lot of ground, from lower gain Marshall Hendrix style stuff, to EVH to slightly higher gain. So far this one has seemed to stand out in the videos I’ve seen so far. I’m not expecting it to totally nail every tone, but just get passable tones.

Thank you for this. I am going to buy Jetstream and I am currently deciding which pickups will fit my needs (RB or HA5). I was worried that RBs would not fit since I am looking for a more "rock" sound but this video proved that they can sound great with distortion. I have Buckshot with HA5 at the neck position and I think that it does not sound good with distortion so that`s what I am worried about.
@KyleLaulo7 ай бұрын
Glad you found it helpful! These RB pickups are actually more modern sounding than vintage and the bridge pickup is pretty high output. In fact I'm selling this guitar because I prefer more PAF type output. Not that the RB's are crazy high output, just more than I prefer.
