I have instant dislike of you.

Bridge for me, though not in the standard position if I could only have one pup. More like MM style.

 

[Toptube]

although on a jazz style I tend to prefer the mixed setting of both, If I could only have one I'd always pick the neck. I end up having to EQ warmth and/or bass back into the bridge by itself.

I too predominantly use the neck pickup.

 

[Mudfuzz]

Neck.

 

[PseudoSpaceman]

Neck any day!

 

[M.Wrenn]

this isnt a fair question haha if i had to choose id probably choose bridge pickup, i can usually coax most neck pickup tones out a bridge through finger placement

I'm all over the neck pickup on my Jazzes. Neck pickup + Chromes + tone all the way up + pick = juicy

 

[stephenrheard]

I'm neck-kers

Can we add a poll to this thread?

Now that I'm old and can't hear high frequencies anymore: Neck.

soo before you put it the p pickup on the left bass what did it sound like cuz my current build is a fretless jazz similar to that one

i use at the very least 70% neck, so if I had to choose i'd go neck.
