Fender Jaguar Bass

[lovecity]

Played on of these tonight. Didn't think I would like it and really did. Would love to hear one with a set of flats.

Anyone have any experience with these? Please share!

A friend of mine recently picked one up, in Fiesta Red.


As usual with Fender Japan----I was super impressed.

Excellent build quality, playability and sound. Plus, I like the design---it really does look like a bass that CBS-era Fender would have produced (as they were already making the Mustang/Musicmaster basses, and the Fender VI).

A local shop had a couple of new Jaguar basses on sale at quite a good price, and I went with the intention of picking one up. Typical great Japanese Fender fit and finish, but when I strapped one on, the neck dive was terrible! Needless to say, I left Jag-less.

If any of you pick one of these up or have one, I've got a set of strings for you. I accidentially purchased a set of D-Addario Chromes in medium scale rather than long scale. I started to wind the E string and then took it off, but there's plenty to work with on the E. The other three remain as new. Let me know.

A friend of mine has had one fo these for a year now, he's very impressed with it. Strung it with a set of Rotosound .45's and it's his go to bass. He's a mostly slap bassist, too, so I figured the Jag would be good for him.

Guitar Center reduced their prices on these to $549.00 new, so I've heard but never looked into it.

Looks like a very cool bass no doubt.

But it has one of those J-bass necks on it!

I picked up a Sunburst one at Guitar Center for $549. It plays and sounds great. I wish it had a P Bass width neck on it though.
