Is it me, or

[Kap'n]

does the Jaguar look 10x cooler as a bass than it ever did as a guitar?

[BradKM]

It's you.


I'm not saying it doesn't look cool...just not 10x cooler.

I also think they should have given it some funky new pickups. As is, I can't help but think it's just a pimped up Jazz Bass.

[Strummin' Ronin]

It's about 50x cooler. :yay

Is it short scale?

[Wilko]

Any fool can see it's only 12.7 times cooler.

[sabby]

I think Jazzmasters look way cool as guitars. I'll give you 1.7x. {Hard look. Pregnant pause.} 2.5 times cooler and that's my final offer.

We may need to go to arbitration to settle this.

[BradKM]

The cool factor goes up when the example isn't black. Black just isn't that flattering on these things.

[frank thomson]

:yay

[Kap'n]

Yeah, I know it's just a Jazzer with a few extra switches, but the shape looks way cooler as a bass, than as a guitar.

[chuckocaster]

i just don't like all the extra switches. i think if they revamped that part a little to make it 10x better. russian judge gives it a 7.4.

[Plugger]

Yeah, I think it works better for some reason -- better visual balance, somehow -- it's even got a bit of a non-reverse T-bird vibe going (although I don't even know if they did a non-reverse T-bird!)

It would be interesting to put a phtot of a 6-string beside to figure out what's going on...

Makes me wanna take up bass.:yay

[evilLordJuju]

I like the black jag guitar - if the did a bass version of this, it'd be straight on it





That black pickguard/headstock makes such a difference

I like the "consolidated" pickguard on the bass better. The block inlays on the fretboard are also a plus -- maybe that's part of why it looks a bit Gibson to me. I'm not sure I'd like the black headstock on the bass better, either.

50X for sure!
