The Jaguar Bass has added a new level of cool to the world of electric bass since its introduction in 2006. Though it’s based on the design one of the most popular guitars from the early 60’s, don’t let the Jaguar’s retro look fool you—this bass is chock full of modern features. With the goal of total tonal control, the Jaguar bass gives you the ability to switch pickups on and off, from series to parallel, and from active to passive. This provides you with a tonal palette that works for all types of players, form the set-and-forget player to the eternal-tone-adjustor. Stylistically, it has a thin, fast, one-piece C-shaped maple neck that has a warm tint with a rosewood fingerboard, complete with aged white pearloid block position markers.
