paulg	Re: jazzmaster pickup questions JZMaster Pups mount to the body. I'd use stardard value pots, 250 or 500K. Same with the caps, .05 is a good place to start. I have a hardtail JZM body with the set up as you describe. It works great. The pups I was using were SD Antiquities. This was far and away the loudest Fender in my stable (Tele with Rios', Strat with Kinmans). I believe the original tone circuit sucked the life out of the pups. ps I gave up on the duncans. They sounded great but the noise drove me nuts. I mounted some old Bartolini Mini Humbackers to the body and mounted the JZM cover over the top. I'm real happy with this set up, but it's not as loud as the duncans.
