Not open for further replies.
im thinking of getting some new pickups for my JO4, it sounds identicle to my dual-j.

any suggestions guys?

im thinking maybe lakland,maybe nordy????maybe chi it ????
I'm with Markus on this. Correct me if I'm wrong, Matty, but are you now...Chi-less? :eek::D

I played a Valenti with Big Singles once and they rocked. Wouldn't mind having them someday.
 
Ah, definitely a good news/bad news kinda deal.

Did you play any Valentis with Big Singles at the GTG last August, Matty? Cool pickups.

i did play a bunch of the valentis, the big single do sound great, but i dont want to route unless its gonna get chi's, and im thinking of just getting regular nord jazz pickups.

im not sure if i want to route for chi's, ill try some at the lakland gtg and see if i like them in a JO4. if i did route for them and didnt like it that would be hard to reverse.

oh, and i bought the decade brand new, had the bone nut installed at lakland, i was going to sell terry my glaub, he had already sent me the money, and then when i was unsure, he offered me $100 more for the decade. so thats what happened there. now im trading him my glaub to get it back.
 
So here's a couple of pics of my new to me USJO4. A burgundy mist alder/rosewood combo. These are pics from the Low End site. I've been traveling for work and haven't had time to take any of my own. My only amp was out for service when it came two weeks ago so I haven't even had an opportunity to give it a proper run through on my own gear or compare it to my other JO, natural ash/maple. It's with me though. I've been playing it through a Korg PX4D and headphones. The freaky thing about my two JO's is that only one serial # sits between the two. I bought both of them used from two different sellers two or so months apart. One is JO545 and the other JO547. The reason I bought a second one, as if I need a reason, is that i missed out on a burg mist JO when I started looking. Then I came across the ash maple at an insane price and had to get it. Then of course two months later I find another used burg mist JO at the Low End. I sold my DPLEII to make it happen. It turns out the previous owner had a matched pair and brought them in for Brian to sell one at a time. I wonder if the first one i missed out on was # 546. I'll take more pix when i have time maybe next weekend when I return home and finally get to play through my rig. I'm also beginning to toy with the idea that the ash maple JO may have a set of Chis in it's future.

I really like that Burgundy Mist! The serial number thing is kinda creepy, in a cool way. Nice snag!
