Jaguar/ Mustang basses

[jnslprd]

Here is my olympic white jaguar.
I just started playing again after a long time and love the looks of these basses.
When I first got this the noise didnt bother me that much now its driving me crazy.
I gotta shield it soon as im starting to really like the way it sounds.
Cant believe the new ones are also noisey, meawhile they can get a squire jazz bass to be almost silent.

My Squier VM Jag with P/J Duncan Designed pups. Not SS. I love it to death. The P pup at 10 with a little bit of the J with a pick sounds amazing.

Edit--
Can't get a pic up here's a thread link of it.

I think it all depends on how you look at it. I love my Jag to the extent that it has become my main bass in place of my Bongo 5HH (which a lot of people also sees as another "ugly" bass) and Yamaha TRB6P.

Here she is after some minor upgrades...

...and some shielding made this beauty a beast without the irritating noise when I first got her.

I use to think the Jag and Stang basses looked cool, but upon actually playing one of each I actually found at least to me looks can be deceiving. Perhaps they work well for others, but two basses would not buy, own or use.

The bass that made me want to start playing in the first place was a Hot Rod Red Jaguar, and the one I own is (almost) perfect, in my opinion. That said, it has two main issues. First, a lot of buzz, although I haven't done anything to the innards to shield it better yet. Second, it dives like nobody's business.
Of course, I love it anyway. It sounds fantastic coming out of my Peavey 112, and is certainly good enough for performance or recording. And maybe I just like shiny things, but I absolutely adore the ridiculous amounts of chrome on it.
I just say that those two issues add character.
