I like having the mix at least at 3 o'clock. Most times I have it all the way to the right - like 5 o'clock position. I play with the drive a little bit - at least at 3 o'clock. I was playing with my band last night and on one song was running my jazzmaster through a vox valvetone, a menatone top boost in a can, and the prunes and custard - all on at once. Man, that was sick!

Depending how you set the drive and mix controls you can get some different sounds. The drive control has a lot of gain and starts to get into the low end fuzz range of sounds (if that makes stomp box sense - not quite fuzz face territory) If the drive and mix are set all the way to the right (which I usually do when playing, but not on the recorded songs - the mix control was set back just a bit) that's when you get the weird modulation effect. Especially when you sustain a note or play a chord or two notes. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it gets this decaying deconstructing noise th

Here is song from my band where I use the prunes and custard. I don't have the mix knob all the way over to the right. It gives a little bit of a phased sound. The Prunes and custard is on the lead breaks at around 1:20 and 2:05 falling fast here's another song with the prunes and custard. Starts around 3:30 minnesota song

It's Fender Jaguar, not Jazzmaster. He played this in OKC. I don't know if that was the first time he played it, but that was around the time it started showing up. Jeff played it on the Late Greats and not anything else that night. There were some other photos posted in the past of this one. This is a much better picture than I have seen in the past. You can make out Jaguar on the red headstock. It also has 22 frets, Jazzmasters have 21. It's also been modified and has a humbucker for the bridge pickup. I would say mid 60s Jaguar with stripped finish. Fender did some Jags and Jazzmas
