I just shelled out £30 for a buzz stop. One of the best £30's I ever spent. Online people say it removes some of the jangle from the Jazzmaster - well, that was true to a point, but not totally.
I always knew that the Jazzmaster had great potential for crunchy tones - especially on big open chords like ACDC - but it lacked sustain, and the notes are quite dull and flat sounding. Well, this buzz stop has made my Jazzmaster strings sit tightly on the bridge (as advertised) and using the same set of strings as before the sound difference is amazing. It can now be played just like a Strat/Tele, full bends and a really sharp response. No more dull notes. Proper sustain. I was playing along to MKGS and it was great. And it has retained something of its jangly chime - though the sound of the guitar has definitely changed to something less Jazzmaster like.
I know few people into Quo actually own Jazzmasters (and Jaguars) but from my experience I can definitely recommend the buzz stop if you want to make your Jazzmaster more of a rock guitar.
I can now sell my Strat!
