does anyone have Widerange humbuckers in a Jazzmaster?

can we talk about that? maybe you could post a clip? does it jangle and spank? Thinking about trying it out

actually thinking about this:

Look up Lee Ranaldo. That's all he uses really

I've been thinking about putting a Novak or Creamery retrofitting WRHB in the neck position of my Jazzmaster. No routing or anything extra special required for it with the same technology

Yeah, some builders such as The Creamery make WRHB in a Jazzmaster format for easy fitting

i know a guy who makes pickups, so that would not be a problem he did my bridge pickup to Antiquity specs and it's pretty damn awesome

but i can't try the Ranaldo so i'd really appreciate any reports on the sound, has anyone tried it? is it a lot fatter than the normal Jazzy pickup? I wouldn't really like that, I prefer the singlecoil tone and attack, so that's a big concern for me

It's got body like a P90, but even more clarity and no hum since a humbucker from what I've heard

I have Fender WRHB's in my Toronado, and I had a Jazzy partsmaster with SD Antiquity II's in it. If I'm remembering correctly, the Antiquities were a bit warmer and rounder sounding while the WRHB's have great humbucker low-end growl with crisp high-end jangle sitting on top. Those WRHB's are really unique sounding. They actually push my low-wattage tube amp really nicely too. One difference though, which might be noteworthy, is that the Toronado has a string-through tail, so I'd imagine that brings the jangle out a bit more. Wide-rangers rule.
