if so, are you installing them through the body or toploading them? I love Chromes on my P-basses but havent tried them on my Jazz. Would love some feedback before wasting a new set. Thanks! |

| | | | Top load. I don't think they will fit through the body. Mine did not (Lakland DJ), but I don't think I would want to put such a sharp bend in a flatwound anyway.

Stiffer, not as responsive, and not as growly. But, very clear in their basic tone.
BTW, cowtown as in Cowtown Ballroom?

Visited Ft Worth in 1975, I think, wearing a pair of fancy stitched Post boots. Notable quote from a local, "Gaaaaawd Damn, a hippie with kickers!"
Hope those Chromes settle down to your liking.
