grayn Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The Modern Player Jag bass is excellent value for money, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It depends what you want. It's got a Jazz-like neck on it so it's not for me. But I'm sure it's a fine bass for those who like the thinner neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There's almost no difference between the Fender and the Squier Jag. Personally, I find P/J combos seem to not quite be either. But they're nice basses and look cool as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Love my mp jag. The main difference between the squier and fender models afaict is that the neck is glossed, and the pups are fender models rather than the Duncan designed ones on the squier To me it doesn't matter where it's made- as long as its a good instrument. If its good it gets gigged! Edited October 22, 2013 by dudewheresmybass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemdids Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 My MP jag is the business, the pups are ridiculously loud, the finish and build is amazing. I've swapped out the stock white pickguard for a custom black one so it's black on black with maple....my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Only thing that bugs me about them is that the P pickup is significantly nearer the neck than a Precision. Different tone. It's a pity. The Jaguar shape is my favourite bass shape, but for those looking for a P tone, it's just not quite right, for what I'm wanting anyway.

Black Coffee Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've just bought one of these and in am pleasantly surprised by how good it is for the money. I'm in totally uncharted territory with made in china but so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydivepaul Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I tried out several fenders yesterday in my local music shop, I ran out of time before i got to the jaguar bass to try so I need to get back there and try it BUT I did try out the modern player jazz bass which is made in china and it was really good. My findings on what i tried yesterday: Fender usa deluxe jass bass - natural finish £1500 ish: playability=awesome 10/10 sound / tone = awesome 10/10 Fender MIM jazz bass - sunburst £650 ish: playability = average 6/10 sound / tone = average 7/10 Fender modern player jazz bass - sunburst £400 ish : playability good 8/10 sound / tone = very good 8.5/10 Squier VM jazz bass - natural £250 ish : playability very good 9/10 sound / tone = average 7/10 These are just my humble opinion based on me paying hard cash for one of the above. I wish i could justify the £1500 for the deluxe bass but that isnt going to happen this year disapointed with the MIM bass just not as good as either the modern player or squier I wish the modern player played a bit better as the squier still undecided!!
