Hi Jakub! Love your music man! Following on Spotify! Hope to hear more!

Also this thread made me decide against a humbucker in the neck and go with a Filtertron instead! Thanks!

Hi DaPapa!

Thanks a lot, you might want to check out my YT channel - we’ve just released a new tune and 3 more coming every Tuesday - in two weeks we’ll release Billish including Emil Miszk on trumpet, I love the new version and his solo on it!

I get that question frequently but to be honest I’m so bad in non-jazz music that it didn’t even cross my mind when coming up with this title I don’t listen to the radio, nor do I have a tv, so it’s difficult to be up to date with new music

That's the one. I've got one in my Hahn Model C and really like it. I too was inspired by that pickup (TV Jones Classic) in Jakob Bro and Bill Frisell's Nash guitars.

One thing to consider is that several pickup brands offer a Filtertron design in a humbucker-sized housing (so you wouldn't need to cut your guitar's pickguard). TV Jones offer one, but with slighty different cosmetics. Lollar, Mojo, Creamery, Oil City and several others offer dead-on looking Filtertrons in a humbucker size.

That is great looking!

I have three different guitars with TV Jones PUs. The PUs are great. However, I like the hotter(ish) TV Jones for a little more roundness of tone.
