Thunderpaws Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I stumbled across this bass whilst trawling the internet. I have a Precision and a Jazz already but have been hankering over a Stingray, though my friend recently bought an Ian Thornley signature Suhr guitar which looks and plays marvellously. Anyhow; I don’t think anyone makes anything like this for below £1000 and I think the aesthetics are amazing and the sound would rock, especially if the pup was moved in to a stingray position. I think the best option might be to get Warmoth to route a humbucker pickup in a Jaguar Bass Body and get a neck there too and build it up myself...anyone got any other ideas?

hooky_lowdown Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 They do look cool. It won't sound like a classic stingray mind, as the pickup isn't in the traditional position. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Why not get one and add a second pickup in the Stingray spot? It looks like there is space to get it in the authentic Stingray position. More is more, after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 This may or may not help, but Squier produced a Jaguar bass with a humbucker a few years back. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-vintage-modified-jaguar-bass-special-hb-silver/44292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Pretty cool that they seem to have the rhythm circuit installed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting indeed. With all the paranormal, etc... stuff that Fender is doing at the moment I’m surprised they don’t have a modern version.
