EMG JVX

[RBX4]

Thoughts on these going on a Jazz?!

[nervous]

I had them in my Modulus VJ and liked them very much. Hard for me to really any extreme differences to the regular EMG's but they were a touch less bright or 'modern' sounding if that means anything. I likes that they had exposed pole pieces and looked more 'correct'. Dead quiet as expected. So I got all the advantages of a standard EMG with the appearance of a traditional P/U. All good.

Ty, nervous!

I have a set of EMG JV in my 4 string and I am most pleased. The top end zing must be dialled in as they are dulled in that area of course. I believe that your set would have a bigger bottom end response? You will be happy. I got mine before the JVX series came out and I would have gone with them if they were available. They are gonna sound great.

I apologize. Mine were just the JV and NOT the 'X' series.

Cool. I like them a lot! I changed the pots to 50k and they sound open and breath now. I installed a concentric EMG bass treble eq for more flexibility but have been considering going back to the original tone control it came with so I can put on generic fender jazz knobs. If you dont like them, PM me and I'll might buy them off you.

JVX

This is kind of an old thread now but I wanted to post about these things.

I recently picked up an American Standard Jazz from a fellow TB'er and it came with the JVX PUPS and Pre installed. I have used practically every type of pickup and preamp on the planet in the last 36 years of playing and I can say these things are unbelievable.

This is a very good idea to give active but slightly more vintage sounding PUPS with that crazy active tone control. I really like this over the traditional Bass/Treble or Bass, Mid, Treble preamps out there.

With the JVX's in this Jazz it sounds better than any Bass I own. I can go from mean lean growl to mid scoop thump and everything in between just by which pickups I choose. I can get a very traditional tone by rolling back the tone control or dial it up for a spankity spank.

I was not getting this Bass because it had these in it. I was just looking to try something different. The JVX experience for me was a happy accident.

These are on my list of things to buy and try. The tone that Ed Friedland gets out of these awesome. I still haven't heard anything quite like them.
