Thanks... Posted a review in the SQUIER JAG SHORT SCALE; ANY REVIEWS? thread.
Played out with it last night. Light and fast, no issues, save for the neck dive... Tone was great with the J pup turned way down... A blast to play!

Here's mine:
Overall the workmanship is decent. The setup was pretty good out of the box. I'll wait for the bass to settle in a bit before undertaking any major tweaks.
The only mod I'm considering is swapping out the stock bridge for a Gotoh 201.
I plan to write up a full review in a couple of days. Looks like I get to be lucky #13??

I ordered one in candy apple red on Tuesday. I was getting ready to contact the dealer about when it would be shipped when the email hit. I know the dealer is good because people I know who play professionally buy from them. Can't wait.
I'm in! I have had mine for several weeks now. It is a fun bass to play and sounds fine (weak j pick-up). I have used it on a couple of gigs, and it rocked! I agree with the previous reviews, mine looks great, sounds fine, and the price is amazing!
I am going to black it out eventually (stealth) and maybe add some alumitones. I will use the p pickup in something else if I go with the alumitones. So far I have blacked out the nut and edge of the pick gaurd and added dunlop strap locks. Hipshot ultra lights, a black neck plate, a black string retainer, and black pick gaurd screws are on the way! I will have to make the control plate, all part of the fun!
Anywhere.
Seriously, at this price, if you think you want one, you should grab one. These are destined to go up in price.I think Sweetwater is a great place to buy gear. A step above the rest - especially with their service.
Today I adjusted the intonation from out-of-the-box very good
to - perfect.
Perfect up and down the neck.
And regarding the J pickup. I would definitely agree that solo'd, there's better out there, but - when both pups are up, you really get an awesome, versatile tone out of this bass.
I continue to be more and more impressed. There are some really good low end basses out there. This one joins the party, and adds to it - some impressive tonal versatility at this price.
Really loving this bass.

This came about 45 minutes ago.
Sounds great. Neck dive is there, but not as bad as my Epiphone Viola.
Number, please?

Perfect time for me to swoop in for number 16.

I figured this would be the best place to ask this question: What kind of neck does the Jag SS have? Is it more like a P or a J in terms of thickness? I love my Squier Jazz but I have little hands. I got a used Jay Turser viola and absolutely love it, and am considering getting a Jazz-type short scale. Thanks in advance!
It's more of a J thickness, and it's listed as being 1.5 in wide at the nut. I think you'd have an easy time with it, but if you can, try before you buy.
That or check the return policy of wherever you order from.

Here's mine, I'm really enjoying the p pick up but the j is very weak. I'm going to put some ultralites, a gotoh 201, new bridge pickup, and chromes in the near future.
That seems to be the only common complaint so far, that the bridge pup isn't up to snuff. Not a deal-breaker, I would think, it's a problem easily solved.
