how are these? any good? looking for a decent bass to play at work on lunch break and dont want something tooo fancy but also not a junker
Volume/tone neck pup Volume/tone bridge pup Bridge pup is a little weak unless it's dimed. When I had mine I basically used the bridge pup more or less to enhance the neck pup. As a matter of fact, that's why I traded it and got a Fender Jazz bass.
I had one. Really good bass for the money. The Duncan Designed pickups in those basses are no joke. I sold it because another bassist saw and heard me playing it in a pro situation and begged me to sell it to him!
Do you mean this one.... https://cdn.ustatik.com/article/gear/8/988_1_ver0.jpg The full scale bass in this video... Always liked the way that looked. Squier took it out of production way too soon, would have loved to grab one
I have that one! It's pretty heavily modified. Babicz bridge, Fralin pickup set, BEAD tuning. I have mine string up with flats. Awesome bass. Mine came with some slightly rough fret edges, so it's kinda that level of instrument... Great looking bass and plays nice.
I have 3 of them...LOL..I have the black, the sunburst, and the white....all I need is the red one, so if anyone knows where I can find a red one, please let me know! I have been watching GC used site, Ebay, and Reverb, but havent seen one in almost a year.
Hiya kiddies! Wanna see what a "feeding frenzy" looks like? All ya gotta do is post something like this and…BAM!! Squier Jaguar Bass Electric Bass Guitar
Well, they have those on GC and Reverb fairly often... thats not a bad deal. I run into them frequently when Im searching for the red one. They are great basses and very nice looking. There is one on Ebay right now too
I usually only see the black ones up for sale, but I'll try to remember this conversation should I stumble across a red one.
I have the opportunity to buy one of these locally this week. The seller is including a Fender Rumble 75 combo amp and is asking $400 obo for the package. seems like a crazy good deal to me. I’ll offer $350. Apparently these basses were only made for a couple years. I love the styling and I think the stacked knobs with separate tone controls for each (Duncan Designed) pickup is fascinating. Here are some shots of the actual instrument:
Great basses! I have 5 of them...see my avatar They offered them in red, white, and TSB too...but the black ones are the ones you see most often. I had mine shielded inside the pickup cavities cause they were a lil bit noisy when I used them on stage, but other than that they are fine basses and play very nicely, and they sound like a P/J should.
Yup. Had one exactly like it. I’d still have one it if I wasn’t a moron. Sold it to by a Schecter 5 neck thru. Go get it. Unless something isn’t Right about the bass or the amp $400s fair. $350 would be better if you can swing it.
How is the balance on your 5 Jags? Is there any neck dive on this model? I’ve heard Jaguars don’t balance well.
