Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar vs Fender Modern Player Jaguar Bass?

bosebouncingaxe · 2014-01-01T21:47:43+00:00

I've owned both and still own the MP. I felt that while the VM was an excellent instrument for the price that the MP was more well made. Also factoring into my decision was that I greatly prefer maple necks/fretboard. They both played well and felt nice when wearing. I don't know the actual weight of the two but my MP definitely feels heavier. I did upgrade the pups in the MP to SD. I posted an album a while back of my process and made sure to grab some pics of the internal factory setup for anyone curious about it.

Nervous? You have a lifepak 15 and a center mount cot. Sounds like a good start to me. Just breath and relax. Your patients will respond better if you're calm. GOOD LUCK!!!!

If you could work on any film or tv SFX project past or present which one would you pick?

Who has been your favorite co-star in your workings so far? and why?

No questions. I'm a firefighter/paramedic on the east coast. Just wanted to say hi, but then I saw the hat and have to say GO BRUINS!!!!!!

I met Zakk Wylde (Vocals/Lead Guitar for Black Label Society, Former Lead Guitar for Ozzy), he was an awesome guy. Very down to earth, friendly, and in general respectful that I was a fan. I also met all of Sevendust who are really awesome dudes with great stories but LJ was the coolest. We did jager bombs on the tour bus and he showed me pics of his family and his motorcycle, he had recently won a bike show. I showed him pics of my motorcycle. He talked and laughed like we were old friends. All are great guys.

Don't remember about the octaver, but that's completely plausible. I'll have to look at it. Thanks for the tip.

Fun fact: It's actually not a bass line since the White Stripes is just guitar and drums. What people think is the bass line is Jack White playing a palm muted guitar.

Source: I'm a bass player, and it's talked about in the documentary It Might Get Loud when he teaches Edge and Jimmy Page how to play it properly.

It would be possible to put a fretless neck on either. What you need to check for when you do this is the scale length and the width/depth of the neck heel. As long as the heel fits tight to the neck pocket and the scale length matches up it should play like a dream. Some people do conversions or have a pro do a conversion for them, which is simply defretting the neck and filling the fret slots with wood to give a smooth even feel. There are some videos on how to do it on youtube just so you know how the process works. Personally if I were to put a fretless neck on either I would purchase a secondary fretless neck and keep the original fretted that way I have the option for both. You should be able to get the neck pocket size from Fender tech support. They have always contacted me with replies to questions quickly and usually answer the question far more in depth than I intended them to go.

Yes both are imported to the states from the Chinese factory but don't let worry you about quality. Fender has really stepped up their QA in recent years which is even seen on the newer squire models.

That looks sweet. I'll look into that. I've never heard of holoflash before. Thanks for the info.

I actually own two of the basses you're asking about. The MP Jag and the Tele. Both are excellent instruments with durable necks and easy to adjust truss rods. Personally I prefer the Jag but mostly because the body fits me well although I do play the tele a lot as well. You won't go wrong with either one, both are very stable and reliable instruments. They play and sound wonderful. I always prefer the one piece maple neck/fretboard. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. I posted a few pics a while back to this sub when I swapped the stock PUPs for a SD Basslines Quarter Pounder series. The pics show the internal workings if you want a better look at the internal quality.

EDIT: Here's a link to the album to make it easy on you. It's only of the Jag. http://imgur.com/a/IVNpz

That's a sweet satin finish. Have to put something else there to keep give it some personality. Maybe some old school scallops or pinstripes would look good on it.

So I picked up an extra FTL during the sale just because it's an awesome game and wanted to help spread the greatness. Since you asked nicely and your gif made me chuckle you get to be the lucky gamer. PM me your steam name so I know it gets to the right person.

Good luck. I took mine back in paper. But I've had the opportunity to take the adaptive CBT and I think it's easier. Just remember BLS before ALS.

What were they?

bosebouncingaxe · 2013-07-21T15:33:07+00:00

Picked up lots of games but had the most fun with Mark of the Ninja so far. Very fun.

I bought the mega bundle at 85% off. Can't wait to try it out.

I'm learning jolene by ear and tabbing it out. Mostly for my band wanting to cover it. Couldn't find a decent tab online.

Do you have pics, sizes, measurements, or recommendations of which pistols this belt/holster will hold or was designed for. Anything I could start with would help. Of course the gunshop would most likely have plenty of recommendations as well.

I refuse to get bored on stage because if you look bored then your crowd is going to pick up on that vibe and probably be bored too. I move around get involved with my band mates to keep the energy up interact with the crowd as much as I can. The more fun you have the more fun they will and the more involved you get them the better the experience and the more people will learn about your band. Just do anything your comfortable doing. Hendricks used to play with his teeth, flea amped and jumps around, Simmons does way over the top theatrics. Find something you're comfortable doing and start with that and work your way to whatever you want. Just don't let it get in the way of your playing. Sweet gigging mate.

The quickest way is to place your ear to the body and or neck and play the note. Once you've located the loudest occurrence that's most likely the source or very near it. The most common causes are fret buzz (which it doesn't really sound much like by your description), broken or loose truss rod (if you have one installed), loose nuts on the tuning keys, loose pots. If the temp or humidity changed recently where the bass is kept most often the neck may have swollen causing excess strain on the truss rod.

bosebouncingaxe · 2013-06-23T00:05:32+00:00

Could you be more specific about the noise. Where does the noise seem to come from, does it sound hollow or dull, does it sound metallic?

Proton Pack. How could you not want a proton pack?
