Awesome! I love that Jazzmaster. Mine should be gold

Technophobia 4 Lyfe!

EDIT: How do you like that BuzzStop?

Yeah, I've heard so many people get jealous of that little honey. I always drool when I see a Jazzmaster and often forget how ****ing cool I am for having a ****ing GOLDEN Jazzmaster.

And yeah, I've gotta say, I'm really happy with my rig and so enjoy playing it. It feels really .. me. All I need is some good dirt and I'm extremely happy.

Golden Jazzmaster equals love. And so does TAAS!

And yeah, I really like it. It does add a bit of sustain and paired with that Mustang bridge, I never have any trouble with rattling or anything. My Jazzmaster is solid as **** and hardly goes out of tune as well!

sweeeeeeet rig man. lovin' the jazzmaster.

Thanks! And so I've been told. I haven't come across another golden Jazzmaster, so that's pretty cool seeing as it's pretty rare. I think only 500 were made?

I do the screwdriver thing too. I never liked using tremolo arms, they feel too light or something. I've never tried my Jazzmaster one, though.

How does using a bow compare to using a screwdriver?

Well, I'd like to use my tremolo arm, so I'd like to find a way to use it properly.

And how a bow compares to a screwdriver?
Not. It's completely different. The sound is just way different. Just try it out, I say.

are you sure you don't have the trem arm that "pops" in?

That would mean it would lock in? I've never had that, my trem arm doesn't have any 'dots' where it could lock in with.

Oops, I meant that I never use tremolo arms for 'bowing'. I use them the normal way all the time!

Maybe the end of the arm was cut off by the previous owner? This was done to mine, and it doesn't stay in either. Apparently it extends the travel of the arm a little bit. I shudder to think what the travel would be without this modification!
