Pickups & Amplification Systems (pickups.shtml) | Updated: 23-Sep-2008 - 14:54
Jazz Tone Tips: The classic jazz guitar setup is an hollow body archtop guitar with a neck pickup only and usually a humbucker or a P90 soapbar pickup. The humbucker based on the Gibson PAF (Patent Applied For) humbucker pickup is the most common style.
All the pickup manufactures below have replacement pickups available for jazz guitar. Kent Armstrong is one of the top suppliers to the luthiers building custom archtop guitars.

Harmony-Central user reviews: L. R. Baggs
Info
LR Baggs Para DI
The Para Acoustic D.I.
is a studio-quality direct box,
featuring a five-band equalizer with tunable notch and midrange controls,
adjustable gain and phase inversion. Our proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ
circuitry is totally transparent and allows control over voicing without
sacrificing tone -- a big advance over conventional equalizers. In short, the
Para D.I. Is engineered to bring out the best in any pickup.
This is the DI/Preamp that I'm using with my ukuleles.
The small L.R. Baggs Gigpro preamp clips to your belt loop and works with almost any type of pickup or mini-mic eliminating the need for active circuitry (and batteries) on your prize guitar. Its Class A input, adjustable gain, and quasi-passive EQ are modeled after the ever-popular Para Acoustic DI. The Gigpro will make any pickup sound better and put fingertip control of your sound right at your side.
