DiMarzio´s Ultra Jazz (DP148) didn´t work for me, as I said here: Squier Jaguar Short Scale Club Part 3 The fit was perfect, but the sound is very weak. I guess the J pickup is too close to the bridge on this bass?

I´m glad that worked for you. In my case, I invested in a DiMarzio Ultra Jazz (DP148) pickup for the J, but it didn´t make it any better. In fact, I keep just using the stock P pickup alone.

That´s a good one, so now you can say that you have a real Modded Jaw SS and a real vintage-modified friend! :cool:

Thanks! Yeah, that first gig with the short scale bass was almost exactly two years ago. Actually, the picture I use on my avatar is from that day. Some things have changed in my band since then: we have a different drummer, got a new rehearsal room, added keyboards, etc. But the one thing that...

Thanks! I´ve ordered mine too, tort on CAR in my case as well. Now, let´s see how long it takes for it to arrive to my home in Spain. June 17th - July 9th they say, does not sound like a very precise time range.

I´m concerned about weight. For instance, I really like my VM SS Jaguar except I find it too heavy: 8.5 pounds. I was actually planning to buy another one in order to see if I was luckier, but then they were discontinued. How are these CV Mustangs coming in terms of weight? Sorry if this has...

That´s a great lesson. Thank you for sharing it, Ivan.

So... the rehersal was a success and so was yesterday´s gig with the Jag! (Please excuse the bad quality of the picture) PS: Before anybody asks, no the headstock of my SS Jag is not natural, it is black like yours. It just looks like that on this picture because of some fancy reflection of the...

Alright. I received the Fender Hi Mass bridge and the La Bella 760FS-S strings today. So I replaced the bridge (very easy couple-of-minutes just-a-screwdriver mod, for anybody interested in the Fender Hi Mass) and set up the little beast with the new La Bellas on it. I´m very happy with the...

Ok, here is mine at last: (number, please?) It must have come from the heavy side of the Cort factory: 3.9 Kg (8.6 pounds), it weights exactly the same as my long scale Corvette! Even so, it still shows some neck dive. Not that much, but really worse than my long scale bass (probably due to...

I´ve already ordered mine, candy apple red. Can´t wait for it to arrive. It´ll be my first experience with a shorty.
