Squier Jaguars - question on Tone controls

[Marvin]

I'm looking at one of these, you know the Vintage Modified ones, to add to my collection

It appears there is a separate tone control for each pickup. Is that right? Does this result in being able to get some 'odd' sounds, like tone rolled off on one but full on on the other?

Just wondered, that's all.

Cheers

Yes Marvin, it's the same stacked "concentric" system they originally had on the Jazz in the early 60's. Separate tone control for each volume. I caught a look on a video review and they said that the tone controls on the VM Jaguar are stepped, so click around to various points for various sounds. I'd like to try one myself.

Thanks Rich.

I wasn't aware that the tone and volume controls emulated early Jazz basses. There's a JagVM in my local music store so I may just pop along and have a try. They seem to sound ok, I was at a gig on sunday and the bass player was playing one.
