fender jaguar bass guitar

I recently played every Fender in one of the local music scores and the Jag smoked them all! Hands down.
Call and ask for David (if that's his real name!). He was the one that answered the phone both times I called...first time, he said that the $499 was Friday only, and offered me the $499 on a road-worn Strat.
Second time, I said..."I heard that you guys were running a 15% off deal if I say '15 Done'...can you combine this with the free amp special?" Some click-clack of the keyboard later, and he says "Yeah, it looks like we can offer you an extra 15%".
Best of luck, it's a damn good deal. I almost bought it at $600 for the combo, still better than what I got for that pricepoint when I was starting out a few years back.

No white just sold out mf must not like me because they wont give me the 15% and i just have to watch em sell out
absolutely. doesn't stop me from playing my jag every night, but my left shoulder generally hurts after every gig. I've tried wide straps, padded straps... its just a heavy bass.
Compared to other basses like a thunder-bird I think this ones pretty light as are pretty much all fenders, just my opinion.
GC, MF, Music123, SamAsh, and other on-line retailers are pricing these at $599.99, and describing them as "discontinued" or "clearance" items. Does anyone know if this refers to this year's model only, or is the Jaguar really being deleted from Fender's line-up? Great pricing, by the way, and congrats to you lucky ones who got them for $499.99 shipped last Friday!
I dont know if there discounting them, i plan on selling the amp, and i think i may just leave the bass in the box for awhile seeing as i dont have use for it, myabe i will forget about it and pull it out 20 years from now and it will be worth something
I've read at other sites that the Jaguar is now MIM. If I knew for a fact that I could get a MIJ, I would get one. Anybody know? Maybe these discounts are are being cleared out for the new MIMs, or are these MIMs?
I was led to believe that they are going away forever. That's why I jumped on getting one, yesterday. I gave $599, yet the tag had $869. The $499 you guys are talking about is a super deal. I had my last bass for 20 years...After 24 hours with the new Jag, I like it enough to take to the grave.
they are awesome basses.
but make sure the electronics are ok before you buy... those are the first to go on those things. the pickup config is a bit complicated, and the quality isn't 100% to last. but **** it doesn't matter if you take care of it.
I'd pick one up in a sec if it was in good shape for a good price!

I'm quite certain that it is MIJ. If it is MIM, I'm sure you could Google up some info confirming MIM status. Check it out.
