Trueno Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 For the first time ever I went to the dentist with a skip and a jump this morning (so to speak). I discovered an independent music shop about 100 yards from the dentist, so after I'd had me teeth riddled by the hygienist I went there for a look and bought a Squier Jaguar SS bass. Had my eyes on these for a while... I love CAR with a black scratchplate and "rosewood-type" fingerboard. I wanted a short scale as I only plan to play at home now (as much as you can ever be sure about these things. I was also glad to get my hands on one at a proper shop... no sharp fret ends, no buzzes and farts. In fact, I was quite impressed by the overall playability and quality... crazy for £186. I will probably put a more chunky bridge on (gotoh) if it drops in without surgery, but that's just me having a thing about chunky bridges. Thought I might change the pups and loom, but frankly don't see the point... I'd happily gig this as is TBH. Now, I was planning on selling my US Jazz after buying this... but I might just keep it as a spare (heh! heh!) Now I'm off to play my spanky new bass. 2 Quote

Bassalarky Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Nice! Something to get your teeth into..... Quote
howdenspur Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Very nice! Hope you'll be playing more than just root (canal) and fifths? Quote
Trueno Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks, chaps Edited February 16, 2018 by Trueno Quote
JakobT Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Did exactly the same thing a few years ago - my dentist is literally on the floor above a very good music shop. Went in the shop after having a root canal, and came out again with this. Ended up costing me three times as much as the root canal, but loads more fun Quote
Trueno Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Black pickguard on black bass looks great. I think I'll be having a quick look in this shop every time I go to the dentist now... just for a look around, not to buy, of course. Edited February 17, 2018 by Trueno Quote

Didn’t go in to buy either, but when I saw the only EBMM Sabre I’ve ever seen in the wild in my parts, I was sold. Quote
