i bought a j mascis jazzmaster from this small guitar store in my area. the guy didn't know much about it. i am not sure if the wiring is the same on this as other jazzmasters.

anyways, when i have the pick up selector in the up position (neck pickup) and try using the toggle switch in the up, middle or down only the neck pickup works.

when i have the pick up selector in the down position (bridge) and use the toggle switch i can have just bridge, both, or neck.

i hope i explained this correctly. any help is appreciated.

thanks.

That's normal. Assuming you meant the switch at the top next to those two roller knobs. If so, yes that's how it's designed. It's a separate rhythm channel that utilizes just the neck pickup with separate volume and tone, hence the roller knobs.. It also makes the neck pickup sound darker. It was designed for jazz styles. You play your chordal stuff with the switch engaged and then flip it down and use the more biting tones of the neck, middle or neck for leads. It can be useful, however alot of players don't even bother with it, as they don't dig the darkness it gives it. You can also turn it into a kill switch by simply turning the volume roller knob down and using the switch like that.

I hope this helps. Enjoy. I have that model too and I simply adore it. The chicks dig the purple too. :wink:
