The coolest kid on the block: the Fender Jaguar


How mean and purposeful has the iconic Fender Jaguar looked as a guitar or bass prototype over the year?

  1.  Elvis Costello, Kurt Cobain and Pino Palladoino (bassist with the mighty Who) have all brandished these weapons of choice.

However one of the most commonly overheard phrases when a player is faced with a Jaguar Bass (or guitar, for that matter) is ‘Cool! But what do all those switches do?’

The Fender Modern Player Jaguar Bass is designed to be much leaner incarnation than this, and as such does away with the standard switching system, replacing it with a straightforward, two volume pot plus master tone configuration.

The pickups these control offer a wealth of tonal options. With a Modern Player Precision Bass pickup in the middle position, and a Jazz Bass pickup from the same series at the bridge, the Modern Player Jaguar Bass offers an ideal solution to the player who, perhaps, can’t decide between P-bass and a J-Bass.
