Lol I have both those EXACT basses in MY living room, when I came upon your video I almost spit my drink thinking someone had been in my house video taping MY basses ..... 😂
I got a Jaguar SS shortly after it was discontinued for $320 (originally $199). It is my favorite bass of all time. I sold my others (including a high-end Fender P-Bass) and use only this one now. I wish I had had it long ago.
I did replace the pickups, but it didn't really need them. I just wanted a little more power in the bridge pickup.
I've owned a silver metallic version of this bass for the past two years, and you're right, it's a really nice instrument. The construction quality was simply amazing at this price point. I think with a little effort someone could find a nice used one for around $200 these days.
FYI, the tuners on mine were never that great, so I put in a set of Taiwan-made Fenders ($36), which required a tiny bit of drilling for a few of the set screws. I also swapped out the bridge with a Hipshot KickAss ($55), which dropped in without any modifications. I can now be much more precise with tuning, intonation and string height.
Thank you for the heads up on those Duncan-designed pickups. I was considering a Nordstrand replacement for the P pickup, but after watching this I think that would also be a bit "too much" for this little bass. I'll try and find the Duncan-designed on eBay.
Ebay is where I got my jazz humbucker pickup used. Great deal. You may have to order springs and screws if the person reused them.
Really good review.
I have one of these and a pj player mustang also.
I find the necks really similar but my jaguar is a whole pound heavier.
I put Dimarzio DP126 in both basses, prices for these basses seem to just keep going up here in the uk
Love this!
Ooooooh love this! from mtw in Del Rey. jam night jammer 3 xs a week 2013-2018.
still playin
i just scored a sunburst one of these at a pawn shop this week. i love this instrument, the Jag neck is so lovely to play. its a bummer the only squire Jag these days is a 32" with just one humbucker, but thankfully pawn shops still exist :D
As a dummer without a working pinkie on my fretting hand, I really cant fault this bass. It's everything I could have asked for.
I have 2 of these, 2011 and 2012, both candy apple red. I put CTS pots with an orange drop, new Switchcraft jack, full shielding, and American Jazz bass knobs on the 2011, nice upgrade there. I have to do the 2012 one soon. Just picked it up a couple months ago. These are awesome!!
Where are you finding them? I'm in Canada I've been looking for months I can never find them used...were they only made in America?
@Drizzydid Bought one new in 2011, one used last year. They were made in Indonesia. Watch all the used places, you'll find one.
@@debhart4302 Thanks. Are you in the US? I saw two on US ebay but they don't ship to Canada. Canada ebay is a ghost town but maybe I'll get lucky on a facebook marketplace deal some day or something. Also how much did you have to pay for a used in 2023 vs brand new in 2011?
@@Drizzydid I'm in the US. New in 2011 $180.00. Used in 2023 $299.99 filthy and needed a new jack.
@@debhart4302 Wow. Amazing how a used filthy cost that much more than a brand new. Geez discontinuing something really adds value I guess. Thanks.
I picked one up at auction for $60 with a new set of flat wounds. and liked the feel so much I went ahead and put a real Fender
P-Bass pup in the neck leaving the bridge one of weak so I put a used jazz humbucking pup there. Figured since I’m keeping her , I’d change out the alpha pots for CTS ones and she sings for sure now. The neck is perfect for a guitar player who sometimes doubles on bass. Bonus. She fits into my Jaguar hard shell guitar case perfectly if I bring her out.
Yeah the Fender pickup is a great choice for upgrades. I get used Fender Mexican pickups online dirt cheap and have used them on this and some Affinity basses as well.
It has been difficult for me to intonate this bass. P bass pickups works great
These sound good slapping??? 😮
