Hello, this a rant/ discussion about humbuckers in jazzmasters
I have had Seymour Duncan Antiquities in my CIJ jazzmaster for many years. After writing some heavier stuff I really started to yearn for that high gain humbucker sound. Plus the hum from jazzmaster pickups and my Proco Rat was unbearable. So I put in some Lindy Fralin hum cancelling pups, and whiles it's great that there's no hum, I feel like I castrated my guitar.
I don't want to switch back because lead parts do sound good without that hum, on the other hand I feel now only high gain sounds good and the cleans are lifeless.
Also as a side note, I can't go really low with the Fralins due to their thickness, so there's less v
