Cheap-ish Fender Jazzmaster
 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazzmaster-62-Re-issue_W0QQitemZ150054739269QQihZ005QQcategoryZ3303 9QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item15 0054739269

I found this browsing ebay, as usual. I thought you guys might be interested. At the time I posted this, the guitar was going for 75 pounds. Bargain.

hhhmmmm i am usualy wary of anything good going cheap. maybe thats just my sinical nature but good luck anyhow. i bet it ends uo going for a huge amount.

I've always wanted a Jazzmaster, and this one looks pretty nice. I'm tempted to bid on it, but like jon boy I am always skeptical of anything thats seems too cheap to be true. Although Im sure the price will go way up in the days before the auction ends.

Tough call but i'd say jazzmaster, sqwalls like a baby and plays like a goddess.

king_buzzo 11.05.2006 03:46 PM

yeah, but you gotta love that warm surf jaguar sound

CHOUT 11.05.2006 03:52 PM

jazzmasters have a 'warmer' sound than a jag.

king_buzzo 11.05.2006 03:53 PM

do they still have that punchy sound?

Very much so. The japanese are a little too punchy for me but the american reissues are perfect.

Rovetu 11.05.2006 04:15 PM

i dont know. does it still sound like some kind of a single coil or does the p90 kill that flat sound?

drrrtyboots 11.05.2006 04:20 PM

Well, what are you trying to play? It gives me the sound i love, makes lots of noise and feedback or some pretty melodies, whatever.

Cantankerous 11.05.2006 04:20 PM

let me guess: grunge.
grunge as a genre is nothing but gross oversimplification at the media's fault.

king_buzzo 11.05.2006 04:22 PM

im looking for dinosaur jr cleans/fuzz and mudhoney fuzz sounds. i would also like it to have some sustain too which i think the jazz is better at. yeah, lots of feedback too

edit: catanky, no im not trying to play grunge because grunge sucks. it never even existed and its waay overrated. if you like so call it alternative

Rovetu 11.05.2006 04:23 PM

what if that jazzmaster is a mofified guitar that was stolen on OC in 99??

:D

A perfect instrument then through the right amp or pedals. Of course, play a jag and a jazzmaster first seeing as thats the golden rule.

Only a Big Muff can give you that, the guitar just helps a bit...

thank you captain obvious. the term alternative bothers me as well -- an alternative to what? an alternative to good music?

Kind of but I've played through shit practice amps before and have gotten some of the nicest sounding fuzz through a jazzmaster. But a big muff would help.

king_buzzo 11.05.2006 04:26 PM

yeah. i dont know if ill be able to try them both out because they run out quickly in the store.

which geetar is noisier though jag or jazz?
