  2. [quote name='Paul S' post='1049715' date='Dec 6 2010, 06:57 PM']Haven't picked up a Squier jag but I own a Fender jag. CIJ, so a good quality, well put together instrument. When i bought it I tried everything on the wall of my local PMT and it ended up in a playoff between this and a USA Jazz - this won on looks and versatility. Playing it - simple - it plays just like a jazz - same 38mm narrow neck but also very skinny in depth. Skinniest bass neck I have played, I think. Heavy-ish - over 9lbs, feels comfy for my body shape (thick middle). Has J type pups in neck and bridge position that can be switched between series and parallel. I don't know if it makes it sound like a jazz/p-bass, but it makes a big difference to the sound. If pushed I'd say it favours the jazz sound, rather than the p-bass sound, but is really it's own thing. Add to that you can play it active or passive - active is a simple 2 band eq. Plus a tone control that works when active or passive. So there are a lot of sounds at your disposal - played active the sound can be immense but, with everything rolled back, it can also sound quite muted. I go through phases when I think it is too complicated and just tend to use it on a couple of settings I know work, but I think that is just me being lazy. But I think you come from p-basses(?) so you might find there is too much going on. I am considering putting a better bridge on there - maybe a Gotoh - but have no plans to get shot of it. Also there is a shielding issue giving rise to a slight mains hum if something metal isn't touched. I can, again, probably fix this if I wasn't a lazy git.[/quote] Wow that's comprehensive, I'm leaning towards a Fender after Xmas, I'm a Jazz player so it all sounds good to me. Cheers mate.
  3. I have developed a serious hard on for the look of Jaguars but I have no idea about the tone or feel. Can people give me some idea what they sound/play like?
  4. [quote name='bartelby' post='1049643' date='Dec 6 2010, 05:39 PM']My guitarist bought one to a rehearsal a while ago. We all pointed and laughed, until he started playing. They sound really nice! Shame he hasn't used it since and relies on his crappy and knackered Peavey 65...[/quote] It did sound nice, I am used to playing with Marshall JCM2000's hence the huge Ampeg head, it was nice to just blend rather than fight for once.
  5. [quote name='bartelby' post='1049633' date='Dec 6 2010, 05:34 PM']Christ! You don't hang about! Is that a 15 watt Laney valve combo your guitarist is using?[/quote] It may well be.
  6. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1049604' date='Dec 6 2010, 05:15 PM']There are no flies on you boys then! [/quote] Haha, indeed. Obligatory gig shot.
  7. Kind of started a new band on Saturday, formed on Saturday morning had a gig Saturday night. [url="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mexican-Wave/166491390053200"]http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mexican-Wave/166491390053200[/url]
  8. Seriously though, £449 is a lot of money for a gimmick.

  11. [quote name='smoke' post='1044787' date='Dec 2 2010, 10:36 AM']Hi Alan, What are the two white looking holes each side of the bridge? Was something modified on the bass? TA David[/quote] It would have had an 'ashtray' there, like this. They get in the way a lot of people take them off.
  12. [quote name='binky_bass' post='1044547' date='Dec 2 2010, 12:45 AM']It's all about keeping your first guitar as a reminder of how you started, I still have my beaten up yamaha RBX360 plastered in skate stickers. Find 7 people to donate £5 to the budding rockers cause! I'll start it off, so that 6 people left.... C'mon peeps! Let the little dude keep his first guitar![/quote] I'm in for a fiver if Hamster doesn't buy it.

  17. Is it just me but it looks like the lettering is an after market decal, do you know what it was originally?
