Just did a temp swap with Dave, my 8.2k Broadcaster for his Jerry Donahue. Got the pup in and I'm really enjoying it. I'm still tweaking my single coil presets on the Vox since they were dialed in for the BC. There is a night and day difference between the Broadcaster and the JD. The JD is SMOOOTH, warm and even. It almost sounds like there is a natural compression to the tone. The Broadcaster has got BALLS though, but you really have to have the right neck to mate with it. Suprisingly the stock neck in my Tele works very well when combined. I've got a 4 way to add Series/Parallel and the #2 is one of the sweetest clean tones I've ever heard. #4 is almost like a P90. The stock neck by itself is so-so though. The only problem that I have with the BC is that I do have to roll off the highs a bit when playing it by itself. When I switch to any of the combined or neck only positions I end up having to roll the tone back up to full so as to not mud up the sound. I think that a good mate for the BC would be a '54 neck. Now the JD in the #2 and 4 pos is almost too warm, but when played by itself there is no need to roll back the tone. Great pup! And I imagine when paired with the right neck would be incredible.
