NBD: Fender Modern Player Jaguar

The bridge pickup is a single coil and can hum. It has not been too offensive though. I have only really noticed it when I dial back the P pickup and apply overdrive. Even then it is pretty mild. Coming from a humbucking bass I was concerned about the hum, but so far it hasn't bothered me. I will still probably install a hum cancelling high output jazz pup in the bridge position in the near future (I can't leave good enough alone).
I got to use this bass last night at band practice for the first time, and it worked great. My lead singer's first comment upon seeing the bass for the first time, "Whoa, they now make a Geddy Lee Jaguar!?".
@Ric5- That has the be the classiest Jaguar I have ever seen.
 
My Jag is a fretless 5 string parts bass.

The wood on that is gorgeous. Very, very nice.
