P90 for jazzmaster

wayneirie

does anyone know where I can get a p90 that'll fit in a jazzmaster pup cover. Apart from lollar or the creamery? I want to swap the bridge pup on my otherwise excellent CVJM. Thanks in advance

Just use the creamery, lollars are overpriced.

Mojo - best Jazzmaster pickups available, IMHO.

You could do worse than getting secondhand Squier J Mascis pickups, which are supposedly like P90s.

Good call or the pickups from a Classic Player Mexican - they aren't quite a p90 but they are much beefier, have more mids and suit rockier styles better

BIG +1

This is what I have in mine....not Mojo, strickly speaking, not a P90 - but evil Mosrite deliciousness.

I'd put in another vote for Mojo. had a P90 in the bridge of a JM for a while.

Sounded great, but I went back to stock as I find P90s too muddy for my personal taste.

But yeah, Mojo - best value and service I reckon!

Thanks all some stuff to think about. Really impressed with the neck pickup on this guitar just find the bridge a little too bright and hot but not in good way.

I only know of Marc's work by reputation - but that's a pretty good way to have your work recognised when the reputation is as strong as his is.

This is a complete pickup & wiring loom that he's just prepared for a forum project.  Work of art.

Drop him a PM and ask advice @mojopickups

Yes, I felt the same. So Marc at Mojo made me an overwound bridge unit. I asked him to make a unit that was like the Broadcaster pickup was to a regular Tele pickup. It needs to be fatter, more mids but still balances with the neck unit.

I didn't want the P90 sound, as such. I just wanted something less harsh and clangy, with a little more mids...

I am another user of an over wound bridge. 

I have had 4 sets of JM pickups wound like this. I prefer that to the p90

Quite new to the jazzmaster. But it's the first fender I've really bonded with had a U.S. tele and strat. They were fine guitars but didn't quite feel right for me. A U.S. Or one of the mexican lacquer ones is on the list. But I've got some other purchases to make first. I think I'll try the overwound until I can upgrade and see how I get on many thanks to all for the help.
