Azureglo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) It took forty years but I'm finally playing bass live after four decades of session and live guitar: Bought this and a Mustang SS last year, Upgraded to pickups to these Tone riders and replaced the electrics No flats, no fun. I've got Teles that weigh more than this, And used in anger at the bank holiday blues jam at the Bull in Downton: Hmm its only "The Thrill is Gone" but suddenly that Gma7 arpeggio on the turnaround is a lot further away than on my Tele... Digging in behind my new favourite Tenor player, a righteous blower who came up the hard way and paid his dues... as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon for the NHS... Liking this live bass playing thing and the VM SS Jaguar is definitely the right bass, just need to let my right hand find the sweet spot for my thumb, perhaps a thumb rest is in order.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Nice! I have a red shortie Squier jag just like yours. It was my main gigging bass in my previous band. I upgraded mine with a Fender Hi-Mass bridge and the Yosemite PJ pickups & loom from a Fender American Performer precision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Great bass. I have one just like that. Mine has EMG GZR pickups and a Gotoh bridge. It’s supposed to be a back-up but I prefer it to my Mustang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
