and they played 'Walk don't Run'. Good God why do people play all that stuff on a Jazz.

It's the law.

I got round to watching this last night. If I found one of those (I have the Jaguar equivalent) for £600 I’d buy it in a flash!

Yesterday’s Ed O’Brien TPS was one of their best, along with the Graham Coxon one, inspiring.

Sorry but they have started to annoy me .......silly faces, over nerdy and humourless .........and every episode is the same.
Yawn.

I feel that way with the volume of drive pedal reviews and amp setup videos.
I really liked the Ed O'Brien video though

Rather than going to the trouble of changing pots, why not just turn the tone/treble down?

 I have the roadworn version of that jazzmaster and I would not sell it (also kinda regret selling the jaguar from the same series that I had).
I had stopped watching the show but the Ed O’Brien one popped up yesterday. I watched it and thought it was great.

The guest episodes are best ones.

Exactly.

The episode at Rift Amps was good for the first three quarters of an hour (at Rift when they were building the amps).  When they got back to their studio to demo them, it got very slow.

I'm not that fussed about the Jazzmaster though.  I have no desire to own one.  To me, offsets are the hipster beards of the guitar world.

how wrong you are

It’s just another guitar. It’ll sound brilliant in the right hands though

I love jazzmasters. Probably because Grant from feeder uses them and when they’re loaded with Mojo pickups they’re absolutely outstanding guitars. Not sure where the “hipster” thing is coming from... if you’re meaning that it’s a guitar that the masses have jumped on, popularised before getting bored and moving onto the next big thing then surely  that’s a Gibson’s R9 around these parts

In all seriousness though, it is a guitar associated with surf music or fuzz/grunge. I think Dan would have more fun with it in the long run than Mick. Mick is very much a Strat man.

Completely agree. 

I think what many "naysayers" don't necessarily realise is that us who like JMs like them *because* they're different to Strats, Teles and Gibsons. Judging from the share of screentime, Mick barely even likes his own non-Strat guitars, so he's very unlikely to enjoy a JM or Jag. And that's perfectly ok

Mojo's in my Jazzmaster too, along with the full Mastery bridge setup. I'm predominantly a Strat player but a good Jazzmaster has an almost  indescribable  "something" very hard to put my finger on it but it's just awesome

@stickyfiddle absolutely, I couldn’t believe how amazing the last one I built sounded. It had Marc’s pickups in it and when I ran it into the Lonestar it was immediately giving my “just the way I’m feeling”. I haven’t played any other guitar that sounds remotely like it. And that is the reason I’ll be adding one to my collection soon.

We’ve had a couple of killer-sounding old Jazzmasters in over the last year. This was probably my favourite sounding guitar of 2018 (albeit built in 1959!) https://youtu.be/f_kjDTRn2FQ

...and this thing is a wonderful machine, too: https://youtu.be/DWL_uyf1QCw

I have a Jazzmater. And a Jaguar. I don't have a beard, but I do have a plaid shirt. So I'm good. ;-)
