Picking Out New Bass!

[dcr]

.... but i want something different.

I like the look, feel and tone of the Jaguar.

Then you prolly won't be happy otherwise. Dispense with the poll and get a Jag!

thats a good idea. But i want to play an RD Artist again REALLY bad. i can't find one, so that choice may be out.

I think i am going to get a jag. It'll fit the tone i like and would like to have.

I've got GAS for a Jaguar, Its like a upgraded Jazz bass!

 

[Stumpy]

I voted for none of the above. I am partial to the MTD's.

 

[quadebass17]

i don't know what an MTD is, either.

and yeah, upgraded Jazz's can't get any better!

 

[nastyn8c]

how much do those run???

$1300 - $1700 used, I just bought mine new on the December discount, before the January price increase.

 

[quadebass17]

nice.

 

[Bugarhooks]

I checked "other" also, but for the same money couldn't you get a "Geddy Lee" signature J bass?

 

[contakt321]

I voted other as well, I think one of the following is in order:

Fender Jazz
Fender P
Rickenbacker

I bought a Jaguar about a year ago, LOVE IT...

Very versatile, tons of tonal possibilities, and it's never been produced before now, so it's only going to go up in value. The CIJ craftsmanship exceeds all of the Mexi mades and IMO is every bit as nice as the MIA Fenders. The only colors I've seen in the US are Red & Black, but there ARE white ones made & sold in Japan apparently, because I saw one on Ebay a few months back.

Good luck!

If you don't want a jazz or a P---get the JAG

From the list supplied, Jag all the way. I love my sunburst Jag (and so does just about everybody who lays eyes on it). I bought it from Ishibashi in Japan and, after settling on TI Superalloys last year, I no longer automatically reach for my P bass when it's time to play or practice. It is extremely versatile in terms of tone, a dream to play and is dripping with that "it" factor. I realize that some people love the way the Jag looks, and some people hate it. (But find me a bass that is universally loved as far as looks go.) While the look of the Jag motivated me to buy one without ever playing one first, the tone and playability are why I will not be selling it any time soon.

Long live the Jag!

 

[quadebass17]

yeah, i've played many jags and i got kicked out of GC for staying too long.
but yeah, i've decided im going to get a white jag if i can find it.
if not, i'm go with black.

The red wouldn't flow with my band, nor my color liking scheme very well.
