The solderless switch is a convenient option for many, but a traditional soldered connection will generally offer the most stable and reliable performance over time.
The EMG 66 offers a more focused, slightly tighter low-end than the JB2, while being warmer and less aggressive than the 36th Anniversary, with the active circuit providing a distinct EMG characteristic.
