Squier J MASCIS Jazzmaster or Fender Jaguar. Which one does indie rock best? Here are some sounds.
Video Timing:
0:00 Intro
3:19 Tune
Squier honours alt-rock godfather and Dinosaur Jr. leader J Mascis with a striking new Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster that delivers as much massive sound and performance as its namesake. The pickups, hardware and finish are all specified by Mascis himself for tremendous tone and value. For sale online and in our Glasgow shop. Fast UK delivery and beyond.
Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster in Vintage White
The Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster features a basswood body, C-shaped maple neck, Indian Laurel fingerboard with 9.5” radius and 21 jumbo frets, two single-coil Jazzmaster pickups with three-position switching and dual tone circuits, gold anodized aluminum pickguard, aged white plastic parts (knobs, switch tip, pickup covers), Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece, vintage-style tuners, chrome hardware, Vintage White finish and J Mascis signature on the back of the large ’60s-style headstock.
Maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and 21-fret Indian Laurel fingerboard
Two single-coil Jazzmaster pickups
Classic dual-circuit design ("lead"/"rhythm") with volume and tone controls for each
Three-way toggle pickup switch, two-way slide "lead"/"rhythm" switch
Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with vintage-style "floating" tremolo tailpiece
Gold anodized aluminum pickguard, vintage-style tuners
The Fender Jaguar is a short-scale Electric Guitar, which has a more compact fretboard and neck compared than the run-of-the-mill guitar. It makes it incredibly easy to play as the jump between frets is that bit shorter. Famous Jaguar players include Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Johnny Marr (The Smiths), John Squire (Stone Roses), Jonny Buckland (Coldplay) and Graham Coxon (Blur).
Another identifiable feature of the Jaguar is its versatile electronics. As well as the master volume and tone, you can sculpt both bridge and neck pickups exactly how you like. The neck pickup has a tone and volume, while the bridge gets a mid-tone cut. Rather than a five or three-way pickup selector, there are two switches used to 'activate' each pickup.
