Important observation!


Ocean turquoise looks fucking sexy irl!
+1! Fredo has this combo too (bought from Bubbles) and it's easily become one of my favorite fender color. I want it on a mustang or jazz bass- looks great with chrome!

If hurb puts a tort guard on this jag, I quit combo like rambo forever.

I didn't mean to cause this level of controversy. I just like the pretty colours. Sadly though, I seem to have sent shortscale to DEFCON1.

Fucking DIE.
Are tort guards the new amber switch tips or something? Thatcherite leftist scum...

I just think that, for me, this is the perfect combination:

Jag: check Chrome: check So bad it's good colour clash: check
That fucking mings compared to a white guard.

I've been waging war on Blue and Tort for some time, and Metallic Blue and Tort is so wrong it was never right. Just NO.

NOICE!

Ocean Turquoise is the only Fender metallic colour that I really like. Nice score!

What do the stock pickups sound like on the Japanese Jags? Do they sound like the real thing, or are they like the Jap Jazzmaster pickups that sound like a strat?

Reddish is better than brown, but it's hard to mess with perfection. I didn't mind the red after I saw it. Hurb, you lucky SOB!

Oh bollocks, I like it.
With the matching stock it works in a clashing way.

I'd still stick to a white pg though, tort on white black and sunburst for me.

Some things are just wrong. Like touching children.

Yep, Metallic Blue and Tort is the same as kicking a puppy in the face.

They sound OK pretty microphonic though(more so than my 69 Jaguar) I will do a direct comparison maybe.

Cheers jim, I started cutting out crap nearly a year ago. I plan on doing a before and after when I reach my target maybe. I'd rather talk as little as possible about it until I reach it though.

cheers jason.



cheers everyone! love new gear days!
I had a few plans for moding and stuff on this guitar, but after playing it I think I am gonna just wait and see. I have thrown a vintage trem on it and a mustang bridge on it till I can be arsed with the stock bridge. I want some vintage mustang/jaguar knobs for it defo as the jap ones are arse. I want white plastic tuners too. and strap locks. the rest of my modding plans are on hold for now.
