  • The Jazz Model is an incredibly versatile humbucker that will work for almost any style of music. An Alnico 5 bar magnet and a special coil wind give the Jazz Model neck a glassy treble response and full, tight bass, while scooped mids help each note to sing clearly even under extreme high gain - or even more extreme speed. The Jazz Model bridge features its own unique coil wind to deliver a bridge tone with extra treble emphasis, a nice tight bottom, and a hushed midrange. The result is a clear, bright humbucker that will really make big chords shimmer, and make single notes sound crisp and sharp.

    The tones I get with this combined with the sh-6 on the bridge are absolutely awesome! I really like the sh-8 in the neck too, very aggressive but the sh-2 kills it with the versatility.

      Hi, I'd like to get the same combinaison on my guitar : SH-2 on the neck and SH-6 on the bridge, you don't have too much difference in volume output between the 2 pickups ? I read that the sh-6 was powerful.

  • @vfrbike
    @vfrbike 3 роки тому +5

    The only reason why this pickup doesn't sell as much as 59, alnico II pro, etc... is because of "Jazz" in the name...I have one since years and it is one my preferred Humbuckers ever!!! A truly inspiring articulate tone in every condition, clean, od, distorted! amazing!
    I would like to hear it on bridge position too

      I have a Jazz Neck in my SG, it’s hairy as hell under some dirt, cleans beautifully tho I can’t speak to it regarding coil-splitting. However.. I just put a ‘59 Neck in my ESP (w/ coil split) paired with a distortion bridge (which I love) I have been stuck on the Neck-position for a week😂😂 the Jazz is killer and more gentle in my opinion. But the dynamics of the ‘59 Neck have been unheard by my ears before. ‘59 is a game changer bro..

  • @kuitaristi3003
    @kuitaristi3003 5 років тому +4

    Jazz is pretty much perfect neck pickup because it's not bassy, it works very well with coil-split mode and it with many bridge pickups. Jazz neck and 59 bridge is nice pickup combo for great cleans and rock.

      It works great with any genre of music. I use it for jazz and metal. Sounds amazing clean or with overdrive. Has great clarity. I use it with a JB, Distortion, Custom or Nazgul. And you're right about jazz. Most players don't know chords like they used to. You must know the chords to know how to solo over them.

    I've had a Duncan Jazz in the neck position in my Yamaha SG2000 since about 1982. I think the pickup may have changed a little in the intervening years, but I've always liked it. I used to have a JB in the bridge, and I've had a few other pickups there over the years, but the Jazz has remained constant, and I have no plans to change it.

    actually, the quick clean tone chords comparison at the end was very helpful... a similar quick distorted single lick (6-8 notes, one of them a bend, would suffice) comparison for multiple pickups (neck and bridge) would be even more helpful for me (and others I suspect)

    The last part of the video with the neck pickup comparisons clean and raw is exactly what I've needed to hear from these guys. It would be great to hear something like this with their bridge pickups. I don't play metal and I can only find a metal video of the sh-5 on this channel which sucks as I would like a side by side comparison with the other magnet combinations for the custom under raw conditions. Letting the amp and pickups character shine.

      Hi, take the "jazz" model as just a model name for marketing, for me it doesn´t sound like a jazz pickup at all, it´s an alnico 5, for Jazz alnico 2 magnet is the key, It doesn´t have the sustain and warm sound of an alnico 2 pickup. That said any pickup can be used in a Jazz context rolling of the tone of your guitar or amp, BUT this is a low output pickuo for relative low gain Blues and rock pickup IMHO. It´s a great pickup. when I say any pickup can do jazz i mean It, some players play jazz with a Telecaster neck single coil pickup and tame it with the guitar tone control...so...take the jazz name with a grain of salt. Hope this helps

      Hey there! Actually I would choose Peraly Gates instead of both of those you mentioned. The reason is Pearly Gates has rather a high mids boost then a treble boost of sh2 or quite flat (mids to highs) response of 59.

      +rizzo92 I like the Jazz, as it is clear and open, and brighter than the Alnico II Pro. Both pickups share the same wind and differ with only the magnet used. So just changing the magnet turns a Jazz into an Alnico II Pro.

      +Thanasis Choul I always love how SH-2 sounds in Les Paul's. "Jazz" brightness + natural warmth of LP guitars creates perfect balance for my taste. I feel like SH-2 takes away some of natural LP "boomy" frequencies and adds attack (visible affect on dynamics response of your amp). But...for me personally SH-1 could be a batter match if I was more "warm cleans" or "true jazz" player. SH-1 does not have that much "extra bite" and I like how it acts while playing fingerpicking or very soft picking for some mellow type of leads :)
