Fender Jaguar Electric Bass Guitar
The Jaguar Bass has added a new level of cool to the world of electric bass since its introduction in 2006. Though it's based on the design one of the most popular guitars from the early 60's, don't let the Jaguar's retro look fool you—this bass is chock full of modern features. With the goal of total tonal control, the Jaguar bass gives you the ability to switch pickups on and off, from series to parallel, and from active to passive. This provides you with a tonal palette that works for all types of players, form the set-and-forget player to the eternal-tone-adjustor. Stylistically, it has a thin, fast, one-piece C-shaped maple neck that has a warm tint with a rosewood fingerboard, complete with aged white pearloid block position markers.

NEW - "Excellent Bass"

Great jazz bass neck. Many tonal capabilities. Fit & finish are flawless. Nice to have both active & passive. I've been using the passive setting through an Eden amp with great flexibility. Set-up out of the box was perfect.

I started on trombone and moved through alto and bari sax, to drums, then back to brass. Through college and grad school I played in the jazz band, grease band, brass choir, and symphony. Dental problems and good site reading in the bass cleft made a move to bass a natural choice. I listened to and played every bass that I could find. I bought a little Epiphone. I was fine until I got better and wanted a more full robust sound so off to the search I again went. The black Fender Jaguar bass is simply "sweet". Its looks are classic Fender, the fit and finish is excellent and the sound is to die for. The Jaguar is a Fender made in Japan, not Mexico nor the USA (which would have been my choice). It feels like an older American Jazz bass but with the Japan made aerodyne neck - really fast, or if walking slowly - very clear. The electronics, again from Japan, gives the Jaguar the ability to develop about any sound preference. The only sound that I have not yet been to get is a deep full woody sound closes to a full size up-right bass - which may well be my amp's limitations. Simply, sweet.

This is one of Fender's most verisitile basses. You can dial in any tone you can think of. All this in the first year this bass is in production. This is also an awesome collector's item and will be a classic for years to come. The neck is fast, the finish is absolutly georgous, and the entire bass weights in at 8 3/4 pounds and balances great!

The Series/Parallel switch ( which is stadnard on most Fender basses now) is really something else. I love the ability to switch to series, its more high output and sounds almost like a humbucker. The passive/active switch is also another versatle tool in this bass's tool kit, allowing for even more tweaking of the sound. The finish is absolutly georgous. The neck is fast the the vintage tuners are suberb. If you are thinking about getting this bass, dont hesitate! Everything about this bass is high-end, and will be a collectors item in 20 years.

The Fender Jaguar bass guitar looks fantastic. It sounds fantastic as well, especially in active mode; you can get a really deep fat bass sound, almost like dub bass. I have two problems, however: in active mode, the bass adjustment wheel only does anything through the first 30 degrees or so of turning, so once you've turned it past a certain point it doesn't do anything more. It's just a configuration problem or something along those lines. My second complaint is that the bass is very neck-heavy. When I wear it with a strap, it naturally tilts slightly headstock downward. Having said that, after six months of playing this instrument my left arm is a lot stronger... Despite how cool all the gadgetry is, my next bass will probably be a Highway One Jazz. This is just a personal preference though, and it is highly likely that if you buy this bass you will be more than satisfied.
