[/quote] Good on you Wayne, I knew you wouldn`t let us down!! Stick with the Jazz, most people on here have 1 or 2 kicking about and there is a good reason for that. There are too may variables on you tube vids, amp type and settings, pedals and more importantly the players ability or lack of Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] yep...tort it up with a decent scratch plate and be ahead of your mates in the 'cool stakes. To many people, sunburst and tort is THE Fender finish. And when the time is right to move it on..it will probably still be the desirable entry level bass to have..so retains its price/standing better. I'd agree your dad did you a favour...nice one, dad. Your mates need educating... just my 2p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Actually Sunburst and Natural are the best finishes to get because you can see he piece of wood you're getting... My dad had a white 70s Fender US Strat that he wanted stripped back a few years ago as he preferred a natural finish. The tech phoned him up and said you'd better come down. We went and looked at the stripped body it was made up of five pieces of wood, grains going in all directions and at one point there was a huge knot in the wood which had been cut out and replaced with what looked like a piece of broom handle! It was a great guitar, he picked it out of 16 in the shop when he bought it, but it was a solid colour finish for a reason!! Even if you get a sunburst/natural and refinish it later you'll know that you're getting a decent piece of timber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky72 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1326967520' post='1504316'] Stick with the Jazz..... and dream on about the hot chick bass player. Learn about EQ'ing a bass and you'll get more than close to that sound, IMO. [/quote] +1 Never heard of Laguna. The tone is all in your fingers... The Squier J is a great bass to start on.

Mornats Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 A bit late in the day for this but +1 for "the tone is in your fingers". My basses all sound around the same, except when someone else plays them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 To add to this, you now have what's generally regarded as being one of the best starter basses around so as far as gear is concerned, you're sorted. Now the fun stuff starts - begin learning, practice, have a laugh and enjoy your bass and your bass playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm guessing you're new to all this? Now is not the time to be getting hung up on the nuances of whether your Squier jazz bass sounds like the bass in the video with it's MM position humbucker. Get playing it and enjoy it! There is much time to faff about with tone in the future, when you are more sure of what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
