In short, as I continue my relative new journey from brass to 4 strings, the idea of a fretless for several reasons (a teacher and the sound) was pulling at me. So I built one starting with a cheap Squier Jaguar Modified.
As far as electronics at this point just disabled the active circuit...
On my usual GC troll, I found this interesting Squier. It was Friday after work and the crowd at GC was a screeching mess of guitar riffs. The bass played well physically, but with all the background noise I couldn't tell much in the bass room. My fav guitar is a Jaguarillo and I have wanted a...
I originally bought an Ibanez mikro as a project bass but I was limited to what I could mod so I sought out a Squier. Ended up getting a Vintage Modified Jaguar with active pick ups. Got it in almost brand new condition and could not believe that these went for like $300 or less back in the...
I have these three wonderful PJ basses. The Yamaha bb424x I've had for a while and it's amazing. The build quality and pickups are way above what they cost.
I recently snagged an ibanez sr650 for next to nothing and I am blown away by it. Despite being a long scale the neck is just as...
I was playing and recording with my Squier Jaguar SS yesterday and it just inspired me to write this post because it is my least expensive bass but my favorite. I call it a hidden gem bass because once in a while Fender (maybe other brands) accidentally comes out with a great bass for a...
I have been reading on several Internet sites that a better quality bridge improves the tone and the susten, especially the high mass bridges.
I have been checking prices and brands, but before making the purchase I want to know if there really is a change, however little it may be
I have a...
Hi guys!
Today, I found this scar on my Squier Jaguar Modified bass. Lacquer Is complete, without any crack, so it has to be on the wood I think. Its only on the front side, back is ok. I didnt found any similar issue on TB. Could anyone tell me, if its normal, or I have to do something with...
I'm looking for a long scale Jaguar bass - did Squier make one and if so what model name would identify it from the short scales if I was doing a search?
Hi everyone!
I've played electric guitars for 16 years. Now i want to record some stuff at home. I've been looking for a 4-string budget bass and I am going to use for home recording. I play mostly thrash metal but I also want to be able to play other genres like blues, classical rock etc. I...
Just wanted to take a moment to brag on my son he's number 2 of 4 and he's 13... He just started playing bass in September at the request of his band teacher to join the Jazz Band. I think he's doing it phenomenal job considering that he started last year on tuba and in three months was making...
Last week, I posted a thread about the cheap SX basses being low on stock the past few weeks, and how much of a bummer that was because I wanted to get back into bass playing after having sold all my basses a few years ago due to financial issues concerning my special needs daughter (her therapy...
Hello guys!
I have a project in my mind. It's a Jaguar PJ bass with custom electronics and some other things. Where I live things are (very) expensive, and I wanted to know your opinion on which is a best platform to tweak:
Squier VM Jaguar pj (made in Korea)
Fender Modern Player Jaguar bass...
So this is my first thread here on talkbass, hello everyone my name's garrett. I have a "project" bass which is a vintage modified squier jaguar bass, and so far in the project I have converted the neck to a fretless and changed the stock bridge. What I would like to do next is put in the...
Hey guys and gals. Just bought a Squier Jag SS the other day. Can anyone recommend direct replacement tuners of a higher quality? Ive got a some replacement pickups also and a new bridge also. I was also thinking about new wiring harness too, along with a switchcraft jack. I dont wanna spend...
Hi everyone,
just got my new Squier Jaguar SS bass today and i think there's something wrong with it - the 4th string (the E string) has a weird ring/resonance to it (sounds almost like a flanger/reverb or something)
Other info about the issue:
- it seems to be happening even when the bass is...

SQUIER VINTAGE MODIFIED JAGUAR-PJ
SQUIER VINTAGE MODIFIED JAZZ

I like artists Josh Ham and Zild Benitez.
Josh uses a jazz, Zild uses a Pbass.
Is a PJ bass an option? The squier jaguar? I dint inculude a Pbass on my list beacause, correct me, you...

So, my Jag arrived on yesterday. When I unboxed it, I was a little nervous. I had ordered the transparent red one. The red is really nice- more like a dark red or even red-burgandy. Looks great. The body looks to be three pieces. The neck is satin finished, which is a big plus for me.
Fit...
I like the floor standing ones with the nut hanger, but was concerned with the off set body and headstock on the Jaguar. Looking for make and model info for good strength and portability.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I bought a Squier Jaguar VM Bass that is pretty cool but I have some doubts:
1) to my ears if I choose the "P" pickup only, it doesn't sound A LOT like a Precision Bass. Is this normal? Should this model sound different?
2) If I ever choose to change the "P" pikcup, can I buy any...
Hello guys and gals. I just recently was given an old Squirt Jaguar. It does not have the Duncan designed pickups. Since I already have a my primary bass, I've decided to make this my project bass.
Ive decided the pickups will be my first mod. I do not want active pickups. I am not totally...

This is a beautiful 2011 Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Body. It's the full 34" Scale; not a Shorty. This is the higher-end body, as it has the Seymour Duncan-designed P and J bass pickups (stock passive and sounds great), plus, it also boasts the "Dual-Concentric" stacked...

Hello,
The little preamp-like "bass boost" thing on my only bass has freaked out, sending all sorts of knocking and squealing sounds to the amp. There is no sound at all with the battery out, and no active/passive switch.
I am handy with a soldering iron, so I am going to switch it to passive...

Hey guys!
I'm trying to plan a little for a possible next bass. I want a 5 string, and an active PJ setup.
I'm eyeing the Squier Jaguar V, but I was wondering if there were any possible neck upgrades for it? Do you guys think a Warmouth 5 string jazz neck would work? Also do you guys think...
Hi I have a Squier Vintange Modified Jaguar Active Bass and I have a terrible hum at the J pickup. When I turn off the J pickup (single coil) the hum stops. I checked the grounding and everthing seems to be connected, the onky thing I discovered was a poor conductive paint job by the makers and...
