Members OMTerria Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just curious, because I really like the way the J Mascis plays. If I went that way I could throw the money I'd save toward a Thinline Tele. The Jazzmaster is the priority though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spectermagic Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 I tried a Squier J Mascis and I liked the way it felt better than the Classic Player. I didn't plug the CP in so I can't comment on the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spectermagic Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well the CP has that sticky-gloss on the neck. Some people like it but my hands are so clammy that it drives me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nathaniel. Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 J Mascis is the man and probably one of my biggest inspirations. The Squier J Mascis is an amazing guitar. Pick-ups are surprisingly really nice but what really makes it is the neck. Such a smooth and comfortable neck. It's one of those things that just makes you want to pick up and play it.

Members Matt Gnarly Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm trying to maintain a 1 in 1 out guitar policy, but this J Mascis isn't making it easy. If they release it in purple flake like his Fender sig I'll break down and get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CHOUTMUSIC Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 Haven't tried the J gtrs (big fan by the way), but I have a CP Jag and I love it...I just got a CP Jazz that is just as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Drats! Yeah, I know a few guys who said they wanted to see a purple one, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards. Still, the stock finish is very cool, and very vintage looking - some of the earliest Jazzmasters had the same basic cosmetics. If you wanted to do a pickguard swap, it probably wouldn't be too hard. It looks like it might be a direct swap, but I've never set one guard on top of the other to confirm or refute that. Send them a tracing of the existing guard and you can get one custom made from a few places. Plus, if you really wanted to go all out, you could buy a pre-painted replacement body, or just work with the stock one and refinish it - it's already white - just roughen it up with a little 400 grit paper, hit it with a BIN shellac primer coat and then a few color coats of the lacquer of your choice... then a few clear coats, let it dry a couple of weeks and wet sand it out from 600 all the way to 1500 grit. Polish it and you've got a Jazzmaster in whatever color you wanted. Squier really did get it right with the J Mascis. I thought it was going to be a popular guitar (and I said so in my review - one of, if not the first one published on the model ) - I'm glad to see I was right and that so many of you are digging it.

I've heard GC employees say they will, won't, or might so I don't really know what they're up to Really? The Sam Ash website lists it as "coming soon". When I was down there I found my way into that store, too, and liked it. Almost bought a used Yam bass there, an RBX774, and was sorry I passed on it. Nice helpful staff. I'm surprised there's so much interest in the purple color. It seemed last year most of the used non-vintage Jazzmaster on eBay were J.Mascis purple ones, and not many of the other new models, as if people were trying to get rid of them.

Members renula Posted February 9, 2012 Members Share Posted February 9, 2012 Vapour trail sounds nice in the mascis. My Bloody Valentine. Shoegaze approved. Bought'd in 2013. Can't buy it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
