  • When people say they don’t like gloss finishes, they need to specify if they’re talking about polyurethane or nitro. Nitro sucks. Poly is awesome

  • Schaller S-Locks were redesigned 5 years ago to prevent the nut from coming lose that could lead to the guitar dropping to the floor. The new design has a knurled round nut with 3 screws that hold it into place. Go check them out.

  • fender did good by putting that bridge on it. Best bridge they make and IMO best in the industry

    and pau ferro is hideous. so glsd fende went back to rosewood

  • I really like the Dunlop strap locks. Ive used them on all my guitars/basses to date. I hated changing out the screws in my MH signature (I have the HMNIM hot pink) but its just a habit to have them. I know you mentioned the fret board on those, and its my first instrument ive owned with that type and I actually dont mind it. Great review! Not sure ill pick one of these up, but I do have plans to convert my Squier Jag to something simlar.

  • Maybe you can tell and let us hear something about the volume knob. There must be something special with it

  • best decision you can make in the world of strap locks is DiMarzio ClipLok straps, you could probably tow a car with those things, theyre not the best looking with the strap detatched, but at the same time if you fit all your basses with them on a rack stand, makes for a pretty cool look

  • Yeah it's a beauty! So many good Hoppus bass lines to be played on it. Good job! They're all great but at the moment I really like 'Always'. Cheers

  • Nice bass, i have a black Fender Jaguar bass with the D & G pickup on other side ,neck side, you call it inverted but it is just the D & G half of pickup moved to the neck side not the E & A half, mine has a Jazz bridge pickup ,black headstock & Ebony fretboard, my 1 bass does all, overhauled & rewired, new best of everthing, Epic Custom 1/4" polepiece PJ pickups, pickguard…i like the colour of your Jag & headstock, good tone…..

  • I’ll got the sunburst one and it’s sick. My only complaint is that this type of bridge doesn’t let me get the action low. Any suggestions?

  • Am I the only one who doesn´t like Mark's jaguar basses? I think Mark had the best bass ever, jazz bass without inverted pickups. The 2001 jazz bass with plate control and p bass neck was the most beautiful thing ever. This new basses with inverted pickups look ugly to me, like if they had down syndrome. I would never purchase one of his jaguar basses.

  • my only issue is with the headstock, don't like the matching headstock, just because of that I might get the sunburst …

  • Sounds/looks great, and great run through man, as always! Side note regarding those strap locks if it helps anyone, the original maker of those type, schaller, a few years back updated the design and it's no longer a regular nut that works loose, they're a grub screw locking design now named the S-Lock and are a lot more stable for sure. The copy ones on the market are still just the regular ol' nut but schaller at least have improved things (finally!) in that regard.
    Very odd for an instrument to come with the strap lock buttons, but not include the strap locks, a weird feature! (edit – that's a comment to instruments/brands in general that do this, not specifically this one model. I know I've had Fenders in the past that had locking buttons and no locks included and that was best part of 20 years ago. Like you point out, would somewhat be better to have regular buttons or use what you want rather than need to get a specific set that you perhaps might not normally use or like and want to change or buy specific locks for. Again, not specifically pointing at this model, it's been happening for years for sure)
