    Question about my Squier Short Scale

    Hey all, Bought a Squier Jaguar Short Scale last month. I love the thing but it is a Squier so there are a few things that I would like to upgrade. My question is, would Fender parts fit on this bass if I were to replace the tuners and the bridge? Does the fact that the bass is a short...

    Help Quick! Short Scale Advice

    Just thought I'd update. I am seriously in love with my Jag. It is by far the highest quality $180 instrument I have ever played. I agree that the J pickup is weak, but the tone that I am dialing in by having the p bass all the way up and adding flavor with the J is wonderful. I have to...

    Ok, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma here and I could use some honest advice. I am in the market for a cheap (under $200) short scale bass. I need to buy it ASAP, going into the studio and would love to have it available. I have narrowed it down to 3 basses. SX Ursa 4 JR RN VWH Link Removed...
