mr pablo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Me and the mrs were over in Edinburgh on monday and while doing the rounds of the music shops on our route I came across a new MIJ Fender Deluxe Jaguar, we didnt have time for me to have a right go on it but after a bit of a conflab on the way home I ordered it online when we got back home. It arrived this mornkng and after having a lil time to play around with it i can say its a cracking bass, although my one gripe would be that the sheilding on all the cavities haven't been linked so unless I'm touching a metal part there is a bit of a background hum, nowt a wee bit of copper tape and an hour wont cure though. I might change out the scratchplate though, not a massive fan of parchment/mint I think it'd look better with black or brown tort [URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/pablocien/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134155_zpsf4b0qqgt.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h266/pablocien/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134155_zpsf4b0qqgt.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/pablocien/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134204_zps5kwxr2rt.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h266/pablocien/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134204_zps5kwxr2rt.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/pablocien/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134317_zpstiyialym.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h266/pablocien/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_134317_zpstiyialym.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lw. Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks good but I agree; a tort guard would set it off nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Bass playing friend of mine has just bought one of these exactly the same as this one. I've had a play on it and was pretty smitten with it. Really lovely neck,great range of tones and impeccable fit and finish. These were never on my radar before but definitely are now. I've just sold my Jazz too.hmmmm........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grenadilla Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lovely Jaguar ! I have the same colour with a tortoise pickguard. These Japanese Jaguars seem to be discontinued (again) and we were lucky to get one new. Rock On! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although on the website when I ordered it they had the pic of the older one up 3ts, born tort pg and 80's pickup spacing and was pleasantly surprised when I got one of the newer ones.

dub_junkie Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not showing on their web pages anymore. Cheapest I can see the sunburst is £649 from GAK but I see a black one at Kennys music for £499. Tempting....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 That is lush, I have real Jaguar GAS... I've read a few people unhappy about the shielding or lack of it, but it sounds fairly easy to fix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pablo Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah my jag is fairly quiet but I have ordered some shielding paint to give the cavities another coat and to link them all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
