I’d be glad to contribute. What if we just donated the money that is collected to J and let him buy whatever piece of equipment he wants/needs with it?

BartHey RJ, I’m not sure about those sizes. I never replaced a JM bridge with a mustang one myself since the JM bridge works fine for me, but there are a lot of people who do it. If you search the archives of the Jaguar/JM section of fenderforum.com you can find more info. e.g.:
http://www.fenderforum.com/forum.html?db=&topic_number=205446&lastpost=2002-07-1211:40:02
I think that if the size and separation of the bridge "legs" are the same for both types, it should be no problem to replace them.
Cheers
BHe uses a fender mustang bridge, which is the same size as the jazzmaster bridge, but has "better" grooves preventing the strings form slipping off the saddles. A lot of JM/Jaguar players do this (reversible) mod.
J’ first JM he bought from that Slimy Bob character already had a mustang bridge installed I believe. I cannot recall where exactly I read this though.
I’m not sure, but I think some of J’s JMs have some other (not mustang or JM) type of bridge too (tune-o-matic?).

BHey Randy, you’re welcome.
If your dad is an electronics tech you should have no problem getting it fixed. Just show him the info on the links I gave earlier and he should be able to diagnose and cure your amp.
About what tubes to choose: there’s this amp/tube guru "Lord Valve" who fixes amps and sells tubes. He will certainly be able to tell you what tubes fit best in your amp. The tubes he sells are really high quality and well matched. I never bought anything from LV (I’m in Europe), but according to what I’ve heard and read in newsgroups he’s real good, has fair prices and he’ll give you excellent advice. His website: http://www.nebsnow.com/LordValve
How often you need to replace tubes? Depends on the quality of your tubes, your amp, how often you play and how hard you drive your amp, and also on the biasing of your amp. More on biasing in a previous link, LV can also give you tips on this and your dad should be able to bias your amp properly. Tell him to be very careful though, there are really high voltages in play here.
To have a guess about the age of your amp you can always look at the numbers on the back of the pots, there should be a 7 digit code where the first 3 numbers stand for the manufacturer and the last 4 stand for year and week of production, eg 137 7043 stands for CTS – week 43 of 1970.
Good luck
BartTubes prices can vary from $5 to $50 or more. Bare in mind though that when you replace tubes the amp might possibly need to be rebiased, you can read about that here:

BYou could have a bad connection somewhere. Maybe the tubes need to be replaced? For more info you can always check out alt.guitar.amps or their website http://aga.rru.com/ which contains some useful tips http://aga.rru.com/
Good luck
B"except for the blue one with the tortoise pickups"
should be tortoise pickguard, sorry.
Malcom is right, J only uses p90’s to replace humbuckers.I think J’s jazzmasters are all equipped with the original pickups, except for the blue one with the tortoise pickups.
Seymour duncan has some nice replacement pu’s for jazzmasters.RJ,
I got no experience in modding a Big Muff, but if you check here: http://guitareffectprojects.tripod.com/
you can find some useful info. Also, try other effects related pages like geofex.com
Good luck
BartMaybe this can help:
