basshead56 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi All, After weeks of waiting for the parts to arrive so I could finish off my 73 Precision rebuild, I got bored and had a look around for a cheap bass to use for a couple of band projects, (saving my 77 for recording) when i came across a second-hand Squier VM Jag for not much money. Naturally I jumped at the chance! It arrived this afternoon (with hardcase) Took her out and gave her a lookover-VERY nice on first inspection. Good set-up, same strings as when it left the factory I imagine... Plugged into the Mesa rig- no scratchy pots or issues of any kind - sounds big and phat! Love the vintage tone! I've owned PJ basses before and usually found them lacking somewhat in punch (bar my oly white 78 P) but there's a real thump from this one! I love the neck, though I think this is just making me consider picking up another Jazz (after years of Precisions)! Overall, this is a seriously great bit of kit for the money! I imagine it'll be replacing the Dano as my weapon of choice for most of my live stuff now (bar the odd appearance from a Precision or two ) Will have a serious going over at rehearsal tonight... Pics to follow, (otherwise it never happened, right?!) Am quite keen to know what others think, so any thoughts from fellow Jag-enthusiasts? Also, am keen to add a Jazz-style ashtray/bridge cover- anyone done this? What other mods have people done to theirs Cheers guys Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Put wizards on mine, its a great bass. Toying with a re-finish in vintage white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My brother has a VM Jag, absolutely fantastic basses, the [i]only[/i] thing that lets them down is the finish(or lack of...) on the back of the neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbd Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've just had one of these arrive at home! Will be giving it a go at practice tonight - can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
