Dave mustaine 80s6/4/2023 ![]() ![]() So when I tried the JB it was just truly amazing, but again as an artist I kind made my own evaluation of it and found there was just a little bit of holes in it tone wise. “Though I am not a big fan of his playing, I am certainly a great fan of his tone. “There is no denying that Jeff Beck is one of the greatest guitar players to ever pick up a guitar,” Dave says. And the Beck connection played a part in Dave’s initial pickup choice. It’s interesting to note that these pickups are the same models found in the Tele-Gib that Seymour famously gave to Jeff Beck, and yet they continue to be relevant to new musical styles developed decades after their creation. Pop some headphones on and listen to Countdown To Extinction or The System Has Failed for particularly great examples of the JB/Jazz tone. For many years – until he developed his signature Dave Mustaine LW-MUST Livewire pickups with us – Dave used the JB and Jazz humbuckers (otherwise known as the Hot Rodded Humbucker Set). ![]() Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine changed the path of metal rhythm guitar: the kinds of chords and riffs, the attack and aggression of the picking style, and the crunch and bite of the tone itself. ![]()
