Absolutely perfect demonstration of the different volume tapers. That wasn't the fastest way to produce that content, but it was the appropriate way. Thanks as always!

[@wezzlyn]

I've always really loved Jessica's Jazzmaster. How cool that you've gotten to work on it!

[@lenbones7940]

My jaguar is my baby amd I myself dont use the vibrato but the second you mentioned that flaw my eyes went right to my jaguar and of course both E strings ends are clearly laying directly over the mounting screws... here I am again learning something new about my guitar even tho it's an object I have my hands on daily more than anything else... your skill and attention to detail is bar none sir keep up the good work you are without a doubt nothing short of a off set wizard...

[@lazercheesecake]

Always love to hear you talk about the history of the guitar and guitarists. More of these videos please!

[@HarrisArt]

lol We did notice your office chair!

[@juno3242]

Yours is seriously one of the best channels I have ever found for my guitar playing; I play a 60s classic series jazz with a robot graves aluminum neck and your videos have helped me make sure it’s ready to go for recording, shows and beyond. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Vecsen12]

Love the new format...keep the tech videos coming!!

[@triniep82]

What a great episode Mike!!!

[@scottworsham]

This really helped me out with making a wiring decision on my new JM build. Thanks, Mike!

[@Zane_Doe]

If she's been playing fine on that high action for 4 years, she's gonna fly once it's back in adjustment.

[@o77set7ever8]

Nice to see you back Mike

[@ironmaiden6771]

Dude, congrats for the tour!! Break a leg!

[@mattdixon333]

Love these videos!

[@jimmidelay]

Loved this video! I’d love to hear more about your opinion on the JMascis JM vs the CV JM. Obviously the sound is a bit different. I’m mostly interested in the pros and cons of the the trem and bridge systems on both. Thanks for your time!

[@dieterfeldkamp1522]

I just discovered them through you and IMPOSSIBLE WEIGHT instantly became my Song of the year

[@rawrfosho]

Thank you for sharing the measurements of Jessica’s guitar! I hate hearing “its too high” but not giving any reference. (This helps me to know if my set up is high or low)

[@jeremyward493]

I saw the video thumbnail and immediately recognized the guitars before I read the title. Saw them in Boise Tuesday night with Death Cab and they were great! Jessica's playing was amazing and her Jazzmaster definately stood out. Great show!

[@davepatterson4774]

Great info! Thank you! I love my J Mascis, but not being able to roll off the volume has been frustrating me to no end. I'm digging the parallel mod and will be attempting it soon. Much love from Renton.

[@nosferatu7325]

I think the Costello model had different pickups too but I could be wrong. I have one and they are killer. Great channel!

[@fentontooth]

Soldering the strings, wow great tip . I break so many at the trem and have found that Fender bullets are a good solution, though not always in stock down here in NZ. Thanks .

[@successfulerror]

this is so satisfying

[@TheGreenKingdom]

I don't typically mess with my own guitars as I'm afraid I'd screw them up, but your videos are fascinating. So impressed with your knowledge and explanations. Jessica is a great player and her JM is so cool!

[@goregamer100]

And now i actually understand the effect of treble bleed. think it also explains what i thought was a dead pot in my gretsch jet, master volume also has a parallel bleed and also only cuts volume right at the end! might have to look at removing it! :)

[@geraldoreynoso5044]

Its great to have a fender guy, just like there's a Gibson guy, u know the troagly dude, anyway keep on bringing on that great content and also I love learning about the jazz master. I think i might just go out and get me one.

[@hotrod54chevy]

Great video! Always fun to see what you're up to. While on the subject of pot taper, do you have a personal preference on audio vs. linear? I'm wanting to piece together my own wiring parts and I've seen conflicting opinions on which to use. Some guys like audio for everything and others only use audio taper on tone. Just curious. Thanks!

[@RyanTaylorPrice]

Oh man! I put a parallel treble bleed in my Jazzy and have had the same problem with the pot taper. I’ve been scratching my head as to what to do. Thank you! Gonna try this. Also fully agree with your sentiments on Deep Sea Diver and Jessica’s guitar playing.

[@germanmartinez1994]

Class is in session!

[@paniccleo]

I love treble bleeds. I put them in all my guitars and it really opens them to a heap of extra sounds. Could never go back!

[@smcmillen01]

Hey Mike, great video, love Jessica and DSD. How do you feel about Gibson 50s wiring in Fenders as an alternative to treble bleed?

[@notapplicable328]

I saw them open for Wilco in Cincinnati had no idea who they were but they killed it

[@starshineraiser6729]

I have a white American Original JM, very light weight. I fought hard to find it. Anyway, I’ve had it for 18 months and the best thing about it, to this day, it sounds better every single time I pick it up. It is just unbelievable how magnificent this guitar is. I did replace the brown pickguard with a red one. It’s beautiful, too.

[@solfest9508]

Hi Mike. Any chance of getting you to review a Squier Bass VI? Would love to hear what you could do on it.

[@matthoemann7400]

Ooo a mascis! Kinda wish I could hear that WR Novak. It's been in a shopping cart for weeks and I don't want to lose the clarity the stock pickup brings. I still can't belive that guitar runs for $500.

[@PeacewiththeGraces]

I just watched your video on the gold pickgaurd vs stock as well as the new black bobbin pickups. Im wondering what the combonation would be like with that pickgaurd and the black bobbins. Maybe it would balance out how bright the pickgaurd makes guitars?

[@telecasterbear]

I love the treble bleed on my 1977 blonde telecaster. I installed the same on my 60s classic series telecaster. Just a resister.

[@fngsrck]

Any thoughts on the Fender treble bleed with two resistors, one serial and one parallel? I've only seen it on Teles or Strats, but would be curious to know how well it did on a JM.

[@existDFN]

Hi Mike. If you get a chance to get both Fender jaguar or jazzmaster AVRI 62 and 65 please make a sound comparison vid. Pretty sure many people would love to hear the difference between the pickups and there's no such video on youtube

[@riffage1588]

I was wondering why your playing had such a heavy indie influence. Now I understand. I play the same way.

[@grownbones7240]

I just soldered the wraps on all my strings for the first time last week due to unraveling issues on the high E, was curious about your approach to this issue! I have noticed that the high E on a few of my guitars makes contact with the bolt underneath it on the vibrato which is almost definitely not helping.

[@mcfontaine]

Wow, that treble bleed on the stock pot is dramatic

[@stellaprs]

I use the Fender Bullet strings on my Jaguar to stop the strings breaking :)

[@chriswhrtn]

the different stagtes of action from close the the fretboard to the j mascis lmao

[@andycocktails]

See these riffsticks in action on the DSD kexp vids that were just uploaded. They sound insane

[@Puisheen]

Oh heck yes I need to watch that. What a band

[@SIXX2772]

I KNEW I wasn't crazy.....I have had TOO MANY strings unwind by DiaDarrio .thanks for confirming this

[@JasonTMays]

Awesome video as always! Also, I noticed that book with the Federation logo in the background. What book is that?

[@Puisheen]

Jason! It's Federation: The First 150 Years. It's sitting in a tray that plays a whole five minute speech from Admiral Sulu lol

[@JasonTMays]

@@Puisheen WOW!!!! I'm going to have to buy one of these! lol.

[@nicolassanchez3099]

Nice tips

[@robyoink]

Yuuki Matthews is an amazing bassist! Love his work on both albums by Crystal Skulls. Such a great band.

[@Puisheen]

Truly stunning player, and a truly nice person as well. I love when it's both!

[@ReeWebster]

Heard that treble emphasis too, but thought it came as a result of quieter lows, not cos the treble got any louder?

[@willm3027]

That jazzmaster is beautiful

[@devon8419]

Checked out deep sea diver after this, already bought some records!

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

I can’t imagine not having a treble bleed on my guitars anymore, it’s so useful

[@chrisparker5278]

Amen. For period reissues, no treble bleed I is perfect. But for modern designs every volume pot needs a treble bleed! I go further and add a filter bypass to my humbucker coil taps. It gives the split coils a really nice tone, closer to real single coils

[@PK-wr1qw]

Love DSD, Shins, DCFC, MIJ guitars, guitars, etc… what’s not to like here???!!!

[@colmkelly5524]

Speaking of Death Cab, have you had a chance to take a Ben Gibbard signature Mustang for a spin yet?

[@spoonfulism]

the great pot shortage of the pandemic era? seems like a reference to tims roth reservoir dogs monolog :)

[@chrisbassman3936]

Whats with the gaffe tape ? I don't get that and duct tape. Just got a j mascis squier. Awesome guitar.

[@DecemberMornings]

Hi Mike, I recently discovered your channel. I really really dig your style of playing and all the riffs you run through. Are you only in the business of repairs and setups or are you also in a band too? If so, where can I find your music? I'd love to hear it.

[@veerchasm1]

Do you do “off the street” repairs? If so where are you located? Thanks!

[@jltrem]

Regarding the Japanese bass neck, Dan Erlewine does a good job on one on the "How To Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great" DVD. It's on KZbin.

[@psychicllamas]

at 6:30 my coffee sprayed my screen

[@dantheface2986]

I fucking love this channel

[@giordanorivolta4012]

Isn't a little unusual the choice between .25 and ..50 for the neck shim? I thought 1.00 was generally the most suitable for a Jazzmaster.

[@brian_mccomedy]

The dang fly is trying to interrupt the video

[@lenbones7940]

Quick question.. what do u consider the classification for a nut width to be skinny? My dad just gave me a 70s Cortez strat made in japan and the head stock and nut totally caught my attention mainly becuz it plays smd sounds amazing amd the neck is totally slimmer then my jaguar making it the first strat I can even enjoy playing anyway the mute width is like 1.5 inches that's very slim for strat guitar standards right?

[@Puisheen]

For me, anything 1 5/8" or less is skinny. 1.5" is the '60s A-width from Fender, which I have on my CFM Jag. That's pretty slim!

[@lenbones7940]

#WINNING

[@beaufredericks4547]

Did you work on Jessica’s BiLT or Starcaster this time?

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

Puisheen (or anybody with the knowledge): How is the quality of the Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster Tremolo Unit vs. the cheap stock one that comes with the Squier guitars? Is it a lateral move? Is it better and does it come closer in quality to the AVRI? Want to upgrade my squier jazz. Thanks!

[@veitchy88]

Unless you specifically need a unit with a thread in arm rather than a push in, I’d say go for a AVRI unit. The Classic Player unit may be a slight step up, but the AVRI is an appreciable improvement.

[@notapplicable328]

I just bought a fender player jaguar (not the classic player so it may be different) but the stock trem that came on it creaked and popped and was just in general really bad. I replaced it with an American 60s repro trem for $60 and fixed those problems. Just a heads up i also had to go ahead and change the bridge because the build quality was so bad that everything on it, every saddle and adjustment screw rattled like crazy. Just a heads up. Other than the metal hardware, everything else on the lower price range fenders works very nice, but you may need to invest into replacing some parts.

[@notapplicable328]

I would say it wasn’t much better than the quality on my squires

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

Thanks for the replies everybody, I will definitely stay away from the MIM unit and upgrade to AVRI in the future

[@chrisparker5278]

Why add solder to the string wraps? Surely single set of strings lasts only a few shows, so the jazzmaster needs multiple sets over a tour?

[@chrisparker5278]

The Mexican vibrato on my jazzmaster sucked. The eye holes were rough and shredded my string wraps. I upgraded the vibrato to a Japanese model and never had a problem since

[@kuringmundo]

hehe wood is unpredictable hehe

[@jesselawson224]

Apparently they use, used sandpaper all the time in the factory to shim the necks. So I’ve heard anyway.

[@Puisheen]

Not true! In the old days it was fiberboard, current Fender shims are thick cardstock

[@jesselawson224]

@@Puisheen that’s good to hear! Thanks for the clarification. I was probably misinformed.

[@ksgant]

Love your videos on the Jazzmasters and now I know I absolutely do NOT want one. They seem really fiddly and if you seriously have to do that to the strings when you restring it? No thanks. But, as I say I really appreciate your videos and this at least narrows down my choices for when I have GAS.

[@michaelblaney4461]

Buy a new P bass??? Maybe a Jazz bass , then they'll all have offsets😉

[@danc.732]

My introduction to DSD and that amazing Costello JM was the first few minutes of this video, and their amazing Spiders (Kidsmoke)-esque jam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap2zhneGa9NssKc

[@morganghetti]

"I never thought that would happen again" Is that a joke?
