mentalextra Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ...... noticed a Fender Squier 'Jaguar' bass. Had some age to it, looked like it had been played; ie the 'newness' had worn off. The ticket said £99, got a feeling they might take an offer? But do I [s]need[/s] want it? Quote
allighatt0r Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 'Course you do! You have a huge gap in your collection begging to be filled by a sexy Jaguar bass! Quote
allighatt0r Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ...seriously though, how many basses do you have currently, and what are they? Quote
Geek99 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Don't see the relevance of that question .., of course he needs it. Current resources do not bear on the question Quote
BigRedX Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Optimum number of basses is always n+1 where n is the number of basses you currently own. Quote

DrBike Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Aren't Jaguar basses short scale? (rinses mouth out with soap and water) IGMC Quote

I wouldn't want to play one all the time (my main bass is 35" scale) but they're a lot of fun, and they do capture that thuddy 60s tone soooooo nicely. Quote

[/quote] Short scales are no more or less useless than any other scale. However, some people don't like them. Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 ..but back to the thread ...do you know which model it is, mentalextra? If it has block inlays, it will definitely be long scale. If it has dots, it could be either (the 'special' is 34" and the 'special SS' is shortscale) ...and have you bought it yet??? Quote
