Sign in to disble this ad
i just posted a thread asking about swapping in a precision pup on my jag and a member posted a pic of you with one.
is the sound diff enough to make it worth the trouble? active/ passive work well?
thanks |

| | | | I dislike active mode, so I just bypass that entirely and pull out the battery.
I don't know it's worth the trouble, actually.

| | | | Thanks for the input. I found the active gives a lot of options soundwise, but seeing your pedal collection, you probably dont need more options! lol Does it sound like a precision in passive? I played a new MIA, loved the sound and loved the matte neck finish so much I went home and sanded the Jag. Much improved for speed with sweaty mitts. 220 grit = silky smoooooth.
Thanks again for answering; bass is such a neat community where else do the pros help out like this? |

While the P/J Jaguar seems to be a fan favourite, JMJ always seems dissatisfied with it (stating a while back that he wasn't really digging the tone or the pickup combo all that much, IIRC)

| | | | I still need to fiddle with the instrument I had made. Great conceptually, but I think it's simply an electronics/pickups finessing process that needs to occur. Wish I had more time.

How are you feeling about your modified Jaguar now? |
06-13-2009, 08:57 AM
| | | | It's cool. Still needs tweaks, but it's pretty rad.

So it that sense it's pretty obvious. |

| | | | Nice. Glad to hear from your vantage.
I still just need to tweak a few things, but man that bass is fun to play.
Best,
JMJ

I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
But I doubt they would bring out a signature.
....
Or would they? 
There isn't a Jaguar Artist Series atm... so crossing my fingers.
Maybe we must mod our own Jaguars.  |
