tedmanzie Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I've recently bought a marvellous Fender Geddy Jazz on this forum. It has very simple controls - Vol Neck / Vol Bridge / Tone (one knob for both) I've only ever had a P-Bass so this two pickup thing has taken some investigation... I always thought that 80% of a pickup is just a quieter version of 100%. But is it?? For example I was of the mind that you either have the neck or bridge on full volume, and dial in the other to taste. But what I've ended up with for the moment is neck on 80% and bridge on 60-70%. This to my ears sounds different to neck on 100% bridge on 90%, if you see what i mean. It seems like the last 10 to 20% of the volume really changes the tone even if you're only running one pickup - obviously it makes it louder but even if i turn down the amp to compensate it seems to make it brighter and harder. Am i imagining things here? Anyway, just thought some of you might like to chip in with thoughts about how you like to work your two pickups on the Jazz...
