FYI the third switch on the bottom isn't phase, it's the "strangle switch" that adds an extra capacitor to bleed off some of the lower frequencies (for thinner tone). And the circuit on top is the jazz or rhythm circuit, which has a darker sound due to different pot impedances.

@1.123 5 жыл бұрын

it still is weird to call the "upper" circuit rhythm circuit because you mostly use the neck pickup for soloing and the bridge pickup for rhythms. the guy here knew that the upper controls control the beck pickup and associated it like the common way but not like the producer named it. i always found it wrong to distinguish the pickups as rhythm/lead since you can play them how you want it. why not stick with "neck pu" and "bridge pu"? stupid guys at fender..

@HadrianRex 4 жыл бұрын

@@1.123 Rob is actually wrong on this. The upper controls are for the rhythm circuit. In that mode, only the neck pickup is active, and it's routed through a different capacitor for a growlier, bassier tone. The rhythm circuit just has volume and tone control wheels. This is true on both Jag and Jazzmaster. The lower controls are for the lead circuit, which gives the player the option of one or both pickups. In the case of the Jag, there are three slider switches. There's a switch to turn the neck pickup on or off, and the same with the bridge pickup. The slider nearest the knobs isn't a phase switch. It's a bass cut. The Jazzmaster has a three-way toggle instead of sliders. You can toggle neck, bridge, or both. The Jazzmaster doesn't have the bass cut. I own one of each and swapped the Duncan-Designed stock pickups with Fender Pure Vintage 65s, and they sound much better now. I'll switch the pots soon. The vintage style bridge isn't an issue if you use 11 gauge flatwound strings. The heavier gauge helps tuning stability and intonation. Shimming the neck also helps.

I know this video clip is 7 years old, but I am seeing this for the 1st time today, I bought that exact Sonic Blue VM Squier Jazzmaster in Mint condition for $275 USD with shipping in 2018. It was copper shielded and had the Mustang Bridge revision. Previous owner had the bridge turned around incorrectly with the screws facing the pickups, so her or she probably got frustrated with trying to tune the guitar and it landed in my hands ( thank god ). I took the guitar in my local guitar center and did a side by side comparison with the $1100 MIM Jazzmaster running through a Fender Deluxe and was very happy that my Squire model sounded crisper and better in my hands that the MIM that had the Fender Vintage pickups, perhaps that's due to the stock Seymour Duncan P/Us in the Squire version. Long story short the Vintage Modified series is outstanding and if you can overcome the logo disparity, you will love the VM series. The only other other mod I did was upgrade to CTS pot and did a light sanding on the back of the neck as the glossy finish is not for me. Now looking for a VM Tele Version as we speak, thanks for the great video !!

@harshivjotsingh8073 9 жыл бұрын

First rule of reviewing Jazzmasters and Jags- Never hand them to a shredder ever!!! plus I don't know abt these VM Squires but I've got one CP Jag and an MIJ Jazzmaster and in them the top circuit is the rythm circuit ( same goes to vintage ones too)and engages the neck pickup with a more darker sound and is not the lead circuit and it certainly isn't a boost circuit Rob hahahaha. anyways I'm quite amazes on how both of them are pretty much clueless on how these offset guitars work and when rob tried a divebomb on a that Jag trem I just had the biggest facepalm of the week moment... anyways these guitars are just great for any rock stuff especially punk, post-punk and shoegaze and all the genres that go with these three. You can go hard rock too but since they r single coiled, I'll rather add humbuckers or buy a kurt cobain signature one. For metal, Jaguar isn't compatable because of it's short scale but I'll buy a Jim Root sig Jazzmaster though but since I play Shoegaze I love my fender Jaguar and Jazzmasters and will never part my ways with them!

@potatoheadhaoy 9 жыл бұрын

Harshivjot Singh I use a Strat for shoegaze because I hate that bridge and trem... Or a Les Paul with a B7 on it. At least that way I can play the lead parts without the strings going apeshit on me (which is strange since I play rather gently). I don't know, it seems like every alternative guitar player I meet is using some form of a Jazzmaster or Jaguar, and I honestly don't understand why anyone would use them. Then again, people like Kevin Shields did, so I guess it works for some people, and I have no problem with people using something that does what they want.

@harshivjotsingh8073 9 жыл бұрын

Well maybe the offsets u used were not setup properly... or u used lighter strings. Anyways Slowdive n Ride also used strata n les paul back in 90s but I like the electronics of Jaguars n Jazzmasters, once u get your head arnd it, they are actually a great concept. Plus I'm planning to mod by LP with an SG style long Maestro Vibrola just for playing Shoegaze. Also to mention both Slowdive N Rush after reuniting are using Jaguars n maybe if you find a great one u'll like it. Plus I bought my Jaguar just because I liked visually n didn't had any clue of what Shoegaze was. Now they are the part of my tone and without them I feel incomplete. I bought Jag just because it popped out of all the teles n strats tha happened to be in the shop that day n to be honest that decision changed my life.

@potatoheadhaoy 9 жыл бұрын

Harshivjot Singh Yeah, I think it's the strings. I use .009~.46. Anything heavy is out of the question for me, since I like playing fast (which oddly makes me a weirdo among fellow alt. rock fans). I remember Slowdive using teles (which made sense since the tones in Rutti sounded exactly like one); never knew they used Strats and LPs. I'm a huge Les Paul fan because it's OBVIOUSLY the BEST GUITAR (JK), but I guess there's a reason why some people use Jags or Jazzmasters. But come on, you gotta admit the Les Paul is the best hands down and all the other guitars suck major ass compared to it (again, JK. I'll stop now haha). In all seriousness, it was nice to see things from a different point of view like this. Maybe I'll try one again if I get the chance.

@harshivjotsingh8073 9 жыл бұрын

well my friend Ride used les pauls n Slowdive's Christian Savill used strats coz he was lefty and in his own words was too broke to import a left handed japanese jaguar. Anyways my first love were Les Pauls and I still love them plus I used 9s too on my LP hahaha but I've got a Classic Player Jag n it's tremolo is nearer to the bridge compared to original Jaguars n Jazzmasters n has hotter pickups so with more bridge angle the trem is more stable n I use 10s on it but with my MIJ Jazzmaster I still use 12s and yes it's hard to bend sometimes coz for a long time I was used to 10s on my Jag n 9s on my LP. I might go 11 on it but anything less than that isn't great for Jags and JMs with trems way back. I advise u to try classic player Jaguars and Jazzmasters coz I found my Jaguar quite similar tonally to my LP, just missing that humbucker bite slightly and other than that the neck is more chunkier compared to the slimtaper on my LP. Once I mod my LP I'll be the most happiest person on earth hahaha

As far as I know the channels are opposite of what he says they are. The top position is the rhythm and the bottom position is the lead channel. At least that is how it is on the original American ones. Also what he calls a "phase switch" is actually a bass cut which is great for that jangley Jaguar sound on the lead channel.

I own the Surf Green Jaguar and it is an amazing guitar, for $300 you really can't buy a better guitar new. The only thing that I think could be a better deal would be finding a used fender strat at $300 but you can't find another guitar with more options in that price range. I use the Squier Jaguar, a Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang (Fiesta Red) and an Arctic White Strat (modern player I believe.) While my Mustang is my favorite, the Jaguar comes in at a close second. I own two Fenders and let me tell you, the difference between the Squier Jaguar and the actual Fender Jaguar lie only in the quality of materials used, as far as tones are concerned I really couldn't hear the difference. This is a great way to see what off-set guitars are all about without murdering your wallet.

@Bigman9509 9 жыл бұрын

I love my VM Jazzmaster. I put the mustang bridge on it and I;ve had no problems with it at all. I also put a "buzz stop" on it which helps cut down the buzz you get from the guitar being so flat. It also helped with the sustain. I've played gigs with this guitar and it is a great weapon to have in your arsenal as it has a very unique sound. It even holds tune better than my american strat. The fret wire wears down very quickly though so you have to get it refretted or buy a new neck. Overall it is the best $300 I've ever spent.

@chapet5 10 жыл бұрын

They got the way the tremolo works all wrong. I don't know if anyone's said this yet but the tremolo is actually ingenious design. The bridge is on a plate that is held at a tension by the strings and if you move the arm the bridge goes down and up with the plate inside. The strings therefore stay intonated unlike on a strat where the string length is actually shortened or elongated. The trem makes it harder to lock into tune especially if you ever switch between something like standard and drop D, but the design has many high points including extra resonance, beautiful flutter with the trem bar, and better overall intonation while playing (assuming the guitar is set up well to begin with.)

flatwound 11's or 12's fixes the string popping out of place issue. Also, ensure the bridge pieces are all 90 degrees and then place some clear nail polish on the screws once it's set to your liking, and you won't have any issues at all with the bridges.

The squier is fitted with 9-42 light guage and is just perfect for me. have a few vids playing live on here under paul garrett (jag demo about 8 down) and also The Gents Band. all taken on mobile phones but gives a good idea how the sound live.

If I were to buy the Jazzmaster I would swap the trem and bridge with Mastery and put locking tuners on it and done. Super great guitar for 500 plus the 300 in upgrade. Also if you shim the neck a bit to get a tilt back and raise the bridge your string tension problem is eliminated.

I replaced the Jaquar bridge with a Mustang bridge, which was quite an improvement, and I highly recommend the change. I also swapped out the pickups on both. The Jazzmaster now has Seymour Duncan Antiquity II's and the Jaquar has SD Antiquities. The original pickups on both guitars were SD designed, and very nice, but I have a thing for Duncan Antiquities.

@dinosauria55 11 жыл бұрын

The Mustang bridge is for guitars with a 7.25" radius, these reissues are 9.5" so you'll need to use the more recent modified version with the adjustable height screws. Shimming the neck and raising the bridge is a better option. It improves the overall set up too. Also the upper circuit is the rhythm (or dark) circuit, the bottom one is the lead. You're using it in the exact opposite way it was intended. Seriously guys, 2 mins on Google and you could get this stuff right.

Quite a staggering guitar the Jag. Unbelievable for the price. Did the bridge mod right off the bat so can't really speak for the original; if Johnny Marr does it I can't imagine it's a bad idea! Occasionally a heavy player when the mood takes me so I think it was worth it. Just go and buy one. Own 26 guitars (Fenders, Gibsons, Gretschs) and I play this little demon SO much.

And you're right, the JM's were way more expensive than a strat when they came out, and they bombed commercially (The Jags did do a bit better actually), and ended up in 2nd hand stores for next to nothing. That's why lots of dead broke but talented indie bands who couldnt afford a strat or a gibby in the 80s snapped them up en masse

@Blueguitar007 9 жыл бұрын

mustang bridge has too wide spacing. strings will go off the side of neck almost. plus the threaded saddles of a jag or jm you can put the strings in the correct spacing. and please stop telling ppl to buy a buzz stop.. it kills the overtones. :(

Congrats elmington! Back in the day(1980s) I had a million Guitars, Strats, Teles, Pauls, etc. I'd always be modding, and tweaking them. Except for my '63 Jaguar. All I ever did was play the heck out of it, that Jag was, and will always be my absolute favorite - and even tho it's not worth near as much money as the some of Strats I had, it's the only Guitar I owned that I'd truly Love to have back today.

+Julius Miller Thom Yorke used a Jazzmaster, around the release of OK Computer. John Frusciante had a couple of Jaguar's, one of which he plays in the video for "Under the Bridge". You should be fine with either of them.

I have done the Bridge Mod on my Jazzmaster! I bought Graphite (Graph-tech) saddles for it and just replaced the saddles instead of the whole bridge and it works and sounds amazing. I also replaced the Duncan Design pickups with real Seymore Duncan P90s. I have a 2000 dollar American Strat and I honestly like the Jazzmaster better.

i dont recommend swapping the jag bridge with a mustang bridge if you want true jag tone. These guitars weren't made with hard playing in mind. Use 11 and up gauge strings and you'll be ok. Use another model guitar if you're into beating your axes hard. The jag isnt and never was built with heavy metal or hard-handed playing. I use my jag for what it does best which is surf rock, psychedelic rock, indie rock, etc.,you get the idea.

Bridge issue easy "fix".... using small modelers files.. file a GROOVE in the center of all 6 saddles, then raise the saddles to proper/new height for action adjustment ( after making new grooves, strings are now too low, sitting in the new grooves) .. and no more string popping.

@PantheonLincoln 11 жыл бұрын

The Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge is not perfect, but it can be remedied easily by replacing it with a Mustang bridge, and wrapping tape around the posts first to reduce movement, and increase tuning stability, a common modification. Heavier strings also help. Nothing to deter you from getting one if that's what you want.

@TomRhysMusic 12 жыл бұрын

This has probably been said, but it's actually the rhythm circuit on the upper horn, which only uses the neck pickup. The controls on the lower half of the guitar are the lead circuit.

Don't know if anyone's already mentioned this, but if you have a trem on your model, the bridge is supposed to rock, as you use the tremolo. That being said, I know of quite a few who've modded it in this way. Looking at a roller bridge, myself.

@steffenla4 11 жыл бұрын

High pass and bass cut are two words for the same thing, I think most people call it the strangle switch. And it is a rhythm circuit, I believe that's also what Fender calls it.
