Thanks for the great review !!! I already own 3 of these SBMM short scale Stingray’s, white, blue and black but when I seed this red on with the roasted maple neck I preordered it a few weeks ago, I’m am patiently waiting for Sweetwater to deliver to me but no indication of an exact ETA yet...

I have 3 of these SBMM short scale bass’s, one white, one of the light blue turquoise and one that I had custom painted matte black. I couldn’t resist the new red/orange model with the roasted maple neck so I preordered it, now I’m patiently awaiting its arrival. Don’t know the ETA yet but...

I switched over to short scale a few years ago, my long scale bass’s are collecting lots of dust. While I do own more than a few short scale bass’s my main gigging bass’s are my 3 SBMM bass’s all setup as BEAD bass’s. I use DR or Dunlop 5 string short scale sets and throw the G strings in the...

I ordered a Sonic Bronco bass in white and a Sonic Stratocaster guitar in black, both with maple fretboards. Estimated time of delivery is around April 18th. Definitely interested in checking out these new offerings by Squire, especially at the low price of only $200 each. They look like they...

From my personal experience I think 10’s seem to fart out easier than 15’s with my low B. But obviously not all 10” cabs and 15” cabs are all created equal. Cheers, Davyo

Yeah, the neck dive, I’ve purchased 3 Jaguar H’s since they were first introduced and sent all 3 back because the neck dive was so bad it felt like there was a boat anchor attached to each headstock. After a 6 month break from the Jaguar H’s I decided to order another one in hopes of getting...

Thanks, and yes, I believe the peg hole is 18mm, I have seen it listed as 19mm but 18mm seems to be the most popular potential size listed more often. Cheers, Davyo

I recently purchased another Jaguar H that does not have as bad of neck dive as previously purchased Jaguar H’s that I returned due to really really bad neck dive,, this newest purchase is a keeper. I’ve already installed a Hipshot bridge and that definitely helped with the neck dive. Now I’m...

Yep, same question I have. I’ve read this entire Jaguar H thread and there’s lots of talk about bridges but almost no mention of what lightweight tuner’s that are drop in replacement’s or just needing a single hole drilled. If anyone could be specific on which brand and model number lite tuners...

A fanned fret bass, I have too many bass’s already (lol) My 4 string short scale BEAD bass’s are three SBMM and two Ibanez Mikro’s, I also have a med scale Squire Jaguar H. Currently on all my short scale bass’s I have Dunlop super bright’s 125 for the low B, 5 string short scale sets are a...

I guess I should have mentioned in my original post that I always use a pick. As far as my bass’s I have short, med and regular scale bass’s, all setup as BEAD.

I do all my 4 string bass’s as BEAD and always use bright round wound low B strings of various brands to get a bright clean non-muddy sound. I try 125, 130 and 135 gauges but was wondering if one of those gauge sizes would give me more of the bright defined sound I’m always wanting,,,,, or does...

Yep, that be the bass I have in black. I will check out the DR strings you mentioned. I’m definitely gunna hit up my local guitar guy and have him do the surgery on my wiring. Next for the Jaguar H will be some lightweight tuner’s (haven’t decided what brand yet) and a high mass bridge, both of...

Perfect, I’ll take the Jaguar H to my guitar repair guy and have him wire the 500k pot straight to the jack. I always have my tone full on anyways for max amount of treble so won’t miss having tone control. Thanks Cheers, Davyo

Nope, I’m not dead set on changing out the pup, I just assumed swapping out the pup would be the only way to attain a brighter more modern sound/tone. Even though I’ve been a working bass player for my entire adult life I know very little about the actual electronics involved. The mods I...
