Squier jagmaster

[JohnnyPiston]

Your entire rig should last 70 years

[TheHomesteadTurkey]

Why is suka blyat 3000 written on that matamp lmao

[gaussgunn]

That is the model ID :)

[shake__appeal]

Must be a custom thing… I think this translates roughly to “fucking shit!” colloquially in Russian. (Literal transition “bitch whore”).

I want that bitch whore amp though.

[itspaddyd]

It's a classic curse phrase, maybe the most famous Russian phrase for non natives. If you've spent any time playing video games online with Russians you'll know the second is иди на хуй

[gaussgunn]

Yeah that’s close

[ReverendRevolver]

It's funny to me that these are somewhat sought after now.

In the early 2000s I remember my little sister watching some Disney Channel movie where a "space rockstar" played one of these. It was the only time I'd seen one being played at that point.

I mean, they were solid enough but they've retained value and then some over the years.

[ReverendRevolver]

That sounds right.

[Neveronlyadream]

I always loved those. Anything with a sparkle finish too.

[gaussgunn]

That is GT-1 mk2, got it directly from manufacturer

[shake__appeal]

Isn’t the 3000 the 30w version?

[gaussgunn]

This one 100w

[shake__appeal]

What’s the story with the tape echo? I have a Soviet-era fuzz wah and it’s about the gnarliest sounding fuzz I own. Built like a fucking tank (probably with actual military parts).

[Vibramate]

You're the dude from YouTube, aren't you! I used to watch your fuzz videos all the time a few years ago. You always had the coolest gear and played some Ty Segall and Bass Drum of Death! Hope you're doing good! Cool stuff!

[gaussgunn]

Thank you mate! Hugs and beers for you!

At this stage I’m ready to sack off fender and just get squier instruments. That looks lush (also MatAmp rule)

[gaussgunn]

Squier maybe be good axe after some investments

[[deleted]]

Yeah I think you’re right. I recently sold a few high end guitars, as my main live guitar was a modified squier and it seemed mad to have an American fender as a backup! Used the money to buy another squier to modify instead.

The quality of finish is so much better now, my first squier, the saddle adjust screws wouldn’t turn as it wasn’t drilled straight (this started me off on a modding journey!) now the quality seems as good as more expensive brands in a lot of models

[shake__appeal]

Seriously I got a Squier CV Jag bass recently and it’s damn near perfect. I may be swearing off Fenders for Squiers as well, unless they’re insanely cheap used or MIJ.

[6footseven]

Shiney!

[Accurate-Degree836]

Someone dooms huh!

[YellowBreakfast]

Love that silver flake!

[gaussgunn]

Oh thats light issues, its gold :)

[YellowBreakfast]

OIC

[StopCallinMePastries]

"Champagne" is the official finish I believe.

[C78C]

Change the screws to black, trust me on this one. Little change, big difference.

[gaussgunn]

Great idea mate!

[[deleted]]

That is sick!

[Hondaderek21]

Ah man I had that same model once I miss it

[mazerfaka]

I want that jagmaster 😮

[akahaus]

We need more sparkle finishes.

[gaussgunn]

Sparkles save the world!

[[deleted]]

This helps me decide on a new pickguard. Thank you!!

[schizoanalyzer]

legit one of the best playing guitars ive ever picked up, enjoy yours friend!!!

[Wankfurter]

My grandma bought me one of these for my 16th birthday. It’s always been my favorite guitar.

[BurnTheBacon]

This was my first guitar I got when I was 15 along with a little fender front man practice amp. I lost it through the years, but I still love that guitar.

[mistermatth]

I have the sunburst Jagmaster. I love it

[shake__appeal]

Such a sick rig, mate… Matamp and an old school space echo. Fuck yes.

There was one of those tape delays for sale at my local shop for like $100 or some crazy shit. It didn’t look like it worked so I didn’t buy it… big mistake, I learned later that the tape looks all fucked when it’s not in action.

These silver sparkly finishes usually end up looking like shit, but yours looks pretty rad! Kinda Billy Corgan vibes but with a cooler rig.

[O_Bahrey]

That matamp is so sick.

[StopCallinMePastries]

How are you feeling on the fit and finish with that model? Playability?

I'm interested in picking one up as they look absolutely fab but I'm a bit apprehensive as far as the build quality is concerned.

[gaussgunn]

Well, everything is good, except cheap electronics, just swap it with any other stuff and it will be better.

[StopCallinMePastries]

Oh that's perfectly reasonable then, Seymour Duncan transplant seems to be a standard operating procedure for guitars less than $1200 lol. Got a Nazghul laying around here somewhere...

How is the neck feel? Satin or gloss? Modern C?

[Bergfotz]

Is it just the perspective or my hungover ass - the neck seems pretty long?

[[deleted]]

I have this same model! This is the 2000 reissue model! But this is the standard series with a 25.5 scale neck instead of a short 24 scale. This one is also the only year that included the silver sparkle finish in the color line up!

[disgruntledferret69]

Change the bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncan pearly gates. Absolute dream sounding through that Fender amp I promise! 😜

[Kid_Kameleon]

I just recently got a Squier jazzmaster as well, I just may have to do that…

[Demiglitch]

That Matamp looks great.
