OutToPlayJazz Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Nice looking bass - I've always liked the look of Jaguars but never liked the stock electrronics. Quote
Grissle Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) One nice surprise with the Jag electronics was after replacing the pickups and pots I found that the preamp was actually quite good, "rubbish in, rubbish out you know", its quite transparent and musical though not quite Sadowsky or J-Retro grade its very pleasant and usable, much like the American Dlx Jazz's Edited August 12, 2009 by Grissle Quote
Clarky Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Cool looking bass. Have you thought about a tort s/p? Would make it look even more retro. Congrats Quote
Grissle Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 Ya I have been tempted to fit a new s/p but then thought that the look is a bit busy already so I've held off, however a mint colour might work well too Quote

Grissle Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Ya if I got a chrome pg I would want it to be real chrome and not the mirror type, Ive also thought about diamond plate aluminium?? Quote
Tait Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 [quote name='Protium' post='574739' date='Aug 19 2009, 09:04 PM']Black would look good and fit in with the decal too[/quote] +1 for the black if you're changing pickguards. although tbh, i don't see the need, it looks awesome already. Quote
Grissle Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 You guys are really getting me thinking about this black pg thing Quote
dannybuoy Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Do it. Red basses look rubbish with anything other than a black scratchplate IMHO! Quote
