More value for little money!
I already have a 1970 precision that you can see in my gear with dials covered in rust and the body full of scratches and bunks but I was fed up with it, so after 40 years playing it I wanted a NEW bass with all NEW chrome parts and this is my dream bass! My P is black with black pickguard I have mounted (stock pickguard is white). The neck is very easy to play and I am still using the stock strings that have a proper sound for what I play (new wave, rock n roll, punk) the P sound is very neat and answer to all my needs. It sports the "transitional logo" my favourite one, instead of "spaghetti" one that I loathe!!! (as italian I adore eating spaghetti but I never liked the fender logo!!!). This is a mexico one, I pay half the cost of a USA one but I don't see so much difference in using it. Mexico Fenders are very good instruments, I have also a Jazzmaster 2014 that is ace, you can not find this guitar used as this was a really well made guitar and no one wants to part from it.
Little amp with great sound!
I played in a band with a friend who then had a bad illness and died so he left me this beautiful amp. I was playing with a reverb deluxe 65 before but the blues junior is more hot and present so I sold the reverb deluxe and now I'm playing with it. My amp has a bigger speaker and a special kit that improve brightness on the sound. It's also easy to transport for the gigs and it provide all the sound I need, little amp, great result. Thank you Sergio.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I don't use the reverb of the amp as I have a verbzilla pedal which is fab! I use treble 10 / medium 5 / bass 3. Master 5 / volume 10, then I use the guitar volume to have the appropriate sound otherwise a wall of feedback comes out!
ACE GUITAR!
Bought in 2018, it's obviously a super guitar. I had a SQ VM and some CIJ before, good guitars but this one is definitely ace, the sound is what you expect from a Jag.
dream amp!
Amp of my dreams! It allows to have a full bassy sound or a thicker/funkier one like Smiths' Andy Rourke one. *****
complete!
I am a fan of offset guitars, I have 3 jags and 1 jazzy, but this Strato brings me in places where I haven't been before. A strong and full sound on the rhythm and plenty of choice with the 5 position selector. On the lead you can do incredible things with the minimum fatigue, she plays for you! I still don't have finished to experiment the sounds with her, considering I am playing her with a deluxe reverb 65. This is great to use live or in studio, a professional instrument.

Very good
It s easy to manage but it could be improved if there would be no border on the foot side, they could close the box with a side on the cover in the way that you don't have a "step" and your feet can easily and quickly reach the pedals.
Half the price for Full satisfaction!
I bought this beauty for a reasonable price in 2012 and I used till 2016 when I sold her. Now I have a custom shop jag which is very different. The sound of CIJ is clean and has the typical chime of the offsets. I recorded the first album with the Brightest Room with the CIJ, you can listen the tracks in soundcloud. I have re-bought it from the same guy I sold him to!
Fender Jaguar Custom Shop NOS Surf Green 2012
I bought this beauty in may 2018 and i am still experiencing the large sum of sounds she can give me!
Master of space and time
Bought in sept. 2016. Not yet used for a gig. it seems fine. I use it most with headphones, plenty of gorgeous sounds with its included effects.
