How does the magnetic bridge pickup sound in your '59?


Recommended Posts

Mine is very lacking in the low end/bass department. The Lester model equivalent pickup sounds more ballsy and powerful.

 

I am trying to figure out if it is the nature of the stock Line 6 pickup, or if something else is going on, such as a wiring issue. Any help is appreciated.

Time to make up a 1/4" plug/cable with alligator clips on one end - attach to the bridge pickup wires where they connect to PCB and/or selector switch directly and feed that to an amplifier.  I once discovered a bad pickup selector on a Strat guitar with the trusty alligator clips to 1/4" phono.  

 

Take the battery out of the JTV59 to avoid possibly shorting any other circuitry.
