    Are there any Jazz Pickups out there where you can raise the poles?

    Cheers for the help, mine won't budge though. However, I found some 5mm magnets on the internet and I just stuck them over the poles to raise them, seems to do the trick! I'll probably go for the dimarzios eventually though. Invalid Link Removed

    Right, i'll give that a go, it might save me buying new pickups! what did you use to push them up? and how much force is needed so I don't break anything?

    Problem with setup, MIJ Fender Jazz 75 re-issue

    It seems to have worked well, I'll find out for sure when I gig with it. I've also noticed a really annoying buzz when I play my open A string and harmonics on that string... It seems like it's coming from somewhere on the headstock but I cant see anything that could be causing the buzz and no...

    Problem with setup, MIJ Fender Jazz 75 re-issue

    Hey all, I recently bought a MIJ Fender jazz 75 re-issue. Great to play!... However, when I set up the action and plugged it in, I noticed that my E and G strings were louder than my A and D...
