Question EBMM JP15 Low action 'twang' in tone?

[gurtejsingh]

The SS frets are a relatively new addition i believe. Since 2012-2014ish? I've owned a few JP6's in the past which all had nickel-steel frets.

Thanks Jeong. Is there anyway to confirm whether mine had nickel-steel frets?

if it's 2011 for sure has nickel
anyway SS frets show no wear after 3-4 years and they are very shinny compared to nickel and extremely smooth when bending

Thanks for confirming buddy. You mean SS frets here right:

anyway "nickel" frets show no wear after 3-4 years and they are very shinny compared to nickel and extremely smooth when bending

 

[PaoloGilberto]

yes, I corrected that

Spike, thank you so much for putting this out there. Does sound incredible and full when played through the amp. Obviously the mark V is awesome, and I would love to play through it, only thing is that its not available here, and I am trying to make do with other alternatives

As I said earlier, I am used to fret buzz, but honestly it's way more brighter on a maple fretboard and SS frets, maybe that is something I get used to IMO

I will try to "Fuggettaboutit" Thank you once again for taking the effort and putting this out there.

BTW is that the JP15 BB? Love the figuring on your fretboard and your action is super low! must like 1 mm or something? WOW.

Cheers again man. Thanks

Yep, BB. I don't know how low the action is, I just set it low enough to where I can have no dead notes & be able to bend a step to a step-and-a-half and not cut out. I don't get wrapped up in measurements and having to have consistent measurements across all instruments. There are subtle differences in all 3 of my JP setups, and I like it that way.
