Yea, first topic I started.

Anyway, I walked into the Long and McQuade yesterday cuz I wanted to see cheap basses and noodle on keyboards, but instead I fell in love with a black HH jaguar. I know I want it, but I have a tendency to fall for shiny things. I'm really on the fence about it. This is how I think about it/break it down.

Pros:
It's sexy, with a matching headstock.
Comfortable to play
decent price ($600 CDN)
CHROME Knobs
CHROME

Cons:
I have a CIJ jaguar
I have a humbucking guitar
No trem

Like I said, I have this urge to buy this, but it wouldn't fulfill any guitar needs (unless I put in p90s). So, would picking this up be good or bad?

erbody knows single coils get mad puss
and humbuckers end in shattered dreams

if u play humbuckers next thing you know youll be overdubbing your band mates parts
locking yourself in control rooms

etc etc

maz plays buckers
also will overdub your parts be aware

I won't talk you out of one, I have a CP HH (since not having a trem was not an option I would consider) and it's made the Strat I've used for 13 years go on a nine-month vacation now. Even coil-splitting sounds decent, the blend option in the CP is a radical improvement over the either/or coil splitting I've used in the past.

I'm not as fond of the MIJ buckers in the fixed bridge model, but that's an easy swap if you decide they're not your style.

If I wanted a fixed bridge guitar, I wouldn't hesitate on the black Jag HH. That vs the other options in the price range it's no much of a decision.

Can you live without trem?
Can You??

17.8% compounded interest is a fucking rip off at L&M - considering that they distribute the interest over your payments it's as bad if not worse than a credit card

Think how much better than money would be in a locked in GIC or other stable long term investment

Have you even started that RRSP your father keeps bugging you about? Not like CPP is gonna float you at 65

It's called "Loan & Persuade" for a reason

Just think of what a kick in the balls it is going in there - worse than buying a car - "hey sweet bro think how much the chicks are gonna love you playing that sweet axe of course we finance no problem my man"

Get it and then add one of them bigsby adapter kits to it. SUPER SEXZZZXZZZ

This too..... you already know you don't really want to buy it, save your money and wait until a real gem comes along......

I enjoy humbuckers and I love Jaguars. But like some said right above me, everyone and their dad has one. They're boring looking to me, it could be because they're all black and chrome or it could be because everyone has one, but I just don't find them attractive. I'd hold out for something else if you're having doubts.

As far as everyone having one the only band I've seen using them was that band Airbourne Toxic something or other,
besides that I've only seen them on youtube. I've got one with a bigsby and its my all time favorite guitar.

Do you have enough money left over after buying this to fulfill your needs? If yes, buy it. If not, don't and fill your needs first.

I'll sell you mine for $550 shipped, and will even include a free pedal.
