Kevstein Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi All, I am planning on getting a new bass. I currently have a 1989 Charvel Precision bass which i love and is good, but when playing jazzier stuff it not the best suiting sound. Its really nice sounding when it comes to rock and metal. The bass i was looking at to achieve the jazz sound is the Squier Jaguar Jazz with 2 single coil pickups, and a volume and tone knob per pup. Korean, japanese or USA made. They are advertised with different levels. "Squier Jaguar Jazz bass level 3" etc. What does this mean? I cant find any info on this on the internet whatsoever. Also, would you recommend these? I was planning this for 2 reasons. 1) because i cant afford a genuine Fender at the moment which is why these were made i suppose. 2) because ive seen videos and i think they sound good. Any decent jazz alternatives to look at for the same price? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
