If you're ever serious... I might know a guy who's selling - 2012 MIJ - sunburst with the mint guard. I had a bunch of work done on an earlier olympic white one and play it exclusively, so this guy is just sitting in a case. Almost sad, really.

Hey all - what do we think of the drivers in this Sunn 215BH? Someone is selling it for $200. They say they don't know what drivers are in it and have reported "whatever it came with". Just wondering... could they be JBL D140 or K140s? Apparently it's a 1994 cab, which makes me think it wouldn't...

Still in the country. Saskatchewan now. Safe and sound in its new home.

Huh. Kooky. Does that hold true for MIJ jaguar? It's my understanding that there's no real difference between the two. Just want to make sure as Hipshot tuning machines are on my list of upgrades for my 2009.

Mmmm... actually, I'm pretty sure it's the BT10 tuners and xtender you'd be wanting for your MIJ jag. My understanding is that they're for all the 90s MIJ fender bases, with the exception of the Geddy Lee signature basss. Check out their website. HB10 Bass Tuning Machine

Ok, here's an odd one for you folks. I'm playing a fender jag and I left it plugged in overnight killing the battery. The thing is, I love the way it sounds in active mode now... it's like a really janky fuzz or distortion circuit. I've already sent another jag in for some mods, where I'm...

Built in fuzz would be cool. If the guys at guitarworks can't work the current configuration, I'll go for it. I really like the series/parallel switch actually, so wouldn't want to lose it. I'm pretty stoked about the potential of a non-crackling active mode. Esp. with the added option of...

Yep

Mod-a-palooza Hey Gang, so I recently got my 2nd MIJ jag. I've struggled with both for the preamp noise/cracking issue, even after the copper tape fix recommended here. Some have suggested it's due to a junky preamp, so I'm replacing the preamp on 1 of mine with the aguilar OBP-2. I'm actually...

Dumb question maybe... but I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the exact same model - the mid-90s V-type 4 in green. Assuming it has a very clean bill of health, what is the dollar amount you'd put on this thing? Right now the seller and I are talking in the neighborhood of $1500 USD. As an...

Haha... Yeah, that's the one i made an offer on, coincidentally, but not through reverb. Talked him down from $2100usd to $1550usd. He started way higher. Thanks for the perspective. Appreciate it.

Ok folks.... My friend thinks I'm being daft, but I don't know. I'm getting really tube-y these days, and one of the mid-90s green tolex V4s just came up in my hood. The guy was asking $2800 (canadian), I talked him down to $2100 (basically $1550 USD). The thing is... I don't gig, probably...

I reckon so. I mean... I preferred the tortoise pickguard to the mint green anyway, so replacing that would be another eventual expense... Etc

any chance these are still available?

Fair point... Just got a quote from the luthier - $200 all in (which isn't terrible, really). There's a 2008 on ebay right now for $1300 Canadian (roughly $1000 US) which seems to be about as cheap as I can find them these days. Decisions... decisions...
