I dig that Jag bass . Rather basswood than Agathis though . Said they were making them with both ?

The black jag basses look very smart. Much better with the black pickguard.

I like the red PJ jag bass!

Also I have a bone to pick with squier's website. Why do all their pictures look like they're poorly photoshopped together rather than like pics of the actual guitars. Is it just me or do all of these pictures of the new guitars look like "let's copy and paste this pickup here, this pickguard here, this knob here, and this fretboard here."

I agree with you there Billy. They have a bit of a photoshop look to them, and their pics always have.

Nonetheless, that Jag bass looks very hot! Black particularly, but the others are cool.

Nice they have remembered that Leftys exist again.

I guess the CV series just spoiled me....yawn to these, though the jag basses do actually look like they'd be functionally awesome (ok I'll admit the black on black one is pretty sexy if it didn't have a satin neck )

Those basses look incredible. I love the number of knobs.

So jazzmasters are and jagmasters are offensive because they're ruining the guitars . . .

but throwing a humbucker with 4 knobs a body that kind of looks like a Jaguar is no problem?

Damn. Cannot decide on whether to get the HB Jag bass or the P/J Jag bass. In Red. Holy Balls those are nice.

The HB Jag Bass reminds me of the Stagg Jaguar Bass

Its a bass. Plus Jaguar basses aren't that inconic. Plus also, I don't think that many people here own a Jag Bass of any sort or are that attached to that model. Plus that humbucker is sick. If they had done something supercool like that on the guitar models then it might have been a different story too.

Kinda what I was thinking

I'm not a fan of active circuits, so that's a strike against. They've got the Jag name, but only a Jag-like body shape, nothing else... Why call them Jaguars??

That said, I picked up one of the ones released this summer over Christmas and played it in shop... gotta say, it wasn't a bad instrument. It looked better in person than in picture and it felt pretty good. I didn't plug it in, so I won't comment on the electronics, but the P/J combo is one I like in general.

Even the Fender Jaguar Bass, being full scale, without a rhythm circuit, is a bit of a disservice. It wouldn't be too hard, probably, to mod it, I suppose, but not at that price

It's really got to have a single coil for me. I don't likey the humbuckers on basses. Stingray tones are kind of cool though.

Ankhanu · Post by **Ankhanu** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 2:49 pm

Agreed.

But it says Jaguar. If Squier would have called the jazzmaster the stratomaster everyone would have liked. The fact the they took the Jaguar and made into a bass is more of tragedy than adding a strat jack and humbuckers to a guitar.
