Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass 2011 - 2012
The item pictured is the actual item you will receive!
At Texas Tone Factory, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our Luthier.
This inspection Includes Cleaning and Refreshing all the parts of the instrument, Electronic, Pots, Switch, Jack, Frets, New Strings And full Setup With low Action.
This is a used instrument and does show some signs of slight use, but has been fully tested and functions as expected. Please take a moment to review our pictures, as they accurately portray the true condition of the instrument.
Vintage Modified
Squier’s Vintage Modified Jaguar bass is an attractive instrument indeed, with the matching black headstock and white block Perloid fretboard inlays give a nod towards ’70s-era Fender basses. The inlays are perfectly flush with the rosewood fretboard, and show no signs of shrinkage or a poor cut. The 22-fret, 9.5" radius maple neck is comfortable, smooth, and even—with no sharp fret ends sticking out as I ran my hand along the fretboard’s edges.
The Jaguar’s neck is attached to an agathis body, finished in a deep black. Agathis is commonly used on guitars produced in Asia, partly because it’s so abundant in that part of the world. It’s a softwood with tone similar to alder, but with an airier high end and midrange. Agathis can be a decent tonewood, provided that the pieces used are selected from a viable species. It’s a wood that has several different species, with some being light and resonant, and others being denser-sounding and weightier.
The Jag isn’t an extremely heavy instrument, but it did have some noticeable weight to it when I slung it over my shoulder with a strap. It is very balanced though, and stayed put as I moved around a little without my hands on the neck or body.
The body houses two Duncan Designed pickups—a JB102B single-coil and a PB101 split single-coil—in a classic P/J configuration. Controlling the output and tone of each pickup are two stacked concentric knobs, one for bridge pickup and one for the neck pickup. As I turned the top part of each control—which governs the volume of the pickups—they felt a little loose underneath my fingertips. However, the bottom knurl of each knob that alters the tone of the pickups clicks into several notched positions. I can see why a player may want to leave the Tone control set in a perfect, sweet-sounding spot without it being moved accidently. But, without a free sweep the positions are essentially pre-chosen, and I wasn’t sure why Squier would go this direction.
*For your protection all purchases over $99 will be shipped signature required and Full Insurance.
You are buying a quality instrument made of wood. Each instrument goes through a pre-shipment inspection to ensure you are getting a great quality instrument. However, please keep in mind when instruments are shipped, they can endure temperature changes as well as doing the "shipper shuffle" and therefore minor adjustments may be needed to set up the instrument to your personal preferences after receiving it.
