Nope.
I’m petty sure that J’s tune-o-matics are not the roller type. In fact the bridge on J’s original ’64/ ’65 Jazzmaster wasn’t an actual Gibson style tune-o-matic. It was a little different. There’s not a huge difference in sound between a Jazzmaster with a stock bridge and a Jazzmaster with a t.o.m. in my opinion, but maybe I’m cloth eared. J obviously likes ’em. I’ve got a ’59 Jazzmaster with a stock bridge that’s back home with my folks, sadly, and needs work, (I really must sort it out) but when it was up and running okay, it definitely had that Dino sound, especially that first album semi-distorted jangle tone.normal gibbo t.o.ms arent much on tremelo use……im just saying, gretsch’s use t.o.ms aswell, but they’re rollers. and if that 59 jazzy is all stock keep it that way, if its already re finished and looks bad id do a re-fin, but if its all orignal keep it that way. it will only go up in value.

flangeing something gets you as spacey as a horse and buggey. spacey ness comes from loops, and delays. now dont get me wrong i love flangers, infact almost every song i perform with my band uses my deluxe electric mistre, it just doesnt do that much. now when your just playing with very hard dynamics and useing a dirt box, it can sound very agressive with the right settings, just not to spacey. anyways, just look into a pedal with slap back delay, i think thats what your after….
you didnt need to change bridges, just saddles, or you could cheat and cut deeper grooves in the better looking(imo) jaguar jazzmaster saddles. the jaguar and mustang bridges, are the same, the saddles are whats diffrent. also if your not useing atleast 10’s that won’t do any help to anything…
a good delay would probly be a deluxe memory man, but those are unreliable if bought new(from what ive heard) but if your after something just to fart around with in the bedroom, the marshall reginerator(i think) is the marshall delay, it sounds good, but also unreliable, but fairly cheap as delays come by.
just find a guitar player that has a blue box…..and a cab with a 15" speaker in it….. itll sound basicly the same…
before the distortion for me it gets horribly thin and basicly disappears, after distortion its so alive. you are useing distortion with it right?
you can just email ehx for the schems, just say your’s is broken or your circut bending it, anyway im not sure where the trem pots are in the d.e.m. i hope everything works for you, i can almost get that tone. is your d.e.m before or after your distortion?
so it must be a sheilding issue, anyway if you cant get the adhesive(im pretty sure its glued on there) if you cant some tin foil will work fine, im almost posotive your just getting interference, from everything. most of the jazzers ive seen have ahd the ground routed to the tremelo plate. anyway i couldhave been mistaken. post pics of your jazzer!
the 62 is av right? not one of the new cijs? anyway the grounding should be in the tremelo assymbly, but i could be wrong since if never seen one disassembled in person. it also could be a bad solder joint, but yeah hope you fix it the jazzmasters a splendid guitar.
yeha i cant get my mistress to do that really cool swoosh. i might suggest adjusting the trem pots. that will make it wilder. also you could look at schem’s for vintage electric mistress and compair them with the modern one. also put the flanger after the distortion.the sound should be there. you’re useing a big muff i presume, or a fuzz factory, although it should work with most distortion/fuzzes.
it could be a ground, or a sheilding issue. truthfully ive never heard such a claim on a guitar, i think its just that one jazzmaster you have. if you bought it new i would hvae it replaced or fixed.
we’ll for the orignal recordings…im fairly sure j used a cry baby. now im not sure, but i read that somewhere.
