AndyTravis Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Sue Ryder is an eBay store (I think - There may be actual shops too) (In My Brain) They brand lots of random things 'Sue Ryder', and flog them cheap, all direct import and I assume all ultra high markup for them. They Did a Fender Precision copy for £59.99 and everyone went mad buying them and modding the crap out of them. They were meant to be great! I didn't buy one... EDIT - Sue Ryder Charity Shops...

Ancient Mariner Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Mine's now twin-pickup, and I'm just about to go carve out the body cavity so I can fit a couple of full size CTS pots in there. Last night I popped in the Seymour Duncan SPB-2 I got from Samhimself and rewired it with the pots and a pickup switch. My respect for the original pickup has increased significantly - the Duncan is a bit more focussed, but there isn't a huge leap in tonal quality and output is unchanged. Quick update - finally got it back together properly, and it does sound good. I popped a WIMA 0.0047 cap cap in, and with 1 meg pots (they were all I had to hand - robbed from an old strat wiring loom I was expecting them to be 250K!) it's very crisp fully open and nicely deep with the tone rolled off, but without mud. It might be time to do some pot and cap replacement on the Jazz now. Edited July 2, 2011 by Ancient Mariner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
