Those Model J's are damn good arent they? Any sound clips of that jag? I'd love to hear them with that Rick pup. I've always loved green on black and I love how you can see the grain too

The Model Js are some of my favorite pickups for sure. So much better than the stock ones. I don't like the average "Jazz bridge sound", so the super hot pickup in this one fits my style more.

They blend really well with the Rick pickup -- mellows out whichever pickup you were using. It's great by itself or when combined! I still don't often use the bridge pickup alone, but with the Ric it's good.

I don't have any clips yet, but I should be getting a mic preamp pretty soon. Right now I have a USB interface, but everything sent through that sounds bad...it's so bland that even practicing with it bums me out.

Stiles, that Thunderbird is badass, man. I really like the blue surrounding the headstock too.
