Très bel instrument, facile
PHenri 20.05.2021
Au niveau esthétique, j'apprécie beaucoup les teintes chaudes du bois et la dessins de la fibre. La ligne de la Jaguar très réussie. La qualité de fabrication me semble très bonne, j'ai relevé un minuscule coup (moins d'1 mm²) exactement au niveau de la 12ème frette, latéralement, mais rien, je trouve, qui justifie de renvoyer un si bel instrument. Tout dans la finition me plaît, un bémol sur les mécaniques peut-être, mais on verra à l'usage. Je les remplacerai peut-être par des Fender si elles posent problème. Le manche sombre est très beau avec des incrustations

Mention pour la versatilité des réglages sur les deux potentiomètres empilés qui sont en fait 4, c'est sobre et du coup voilà une basse qui ne ressemble pas à un panneau de contrôle de centrale nucléaire.

Le poids et l'encombrement sont vraiment à l'avantage de la Jaguar par rapport à ma Squier CV Jazz (du coup je vais peut-être m'en séparer), c'est un monde de différence. Le manche lui est étroit, comparable et très fluide. C'est une basse à diapason moyen, 32 pouces, et ça fait aussi une différence en terme de jouabilité sans que la corde de mi ne soit trop flasque. Je ne dois quasiment plus faire de micro-déplacements.

Au niveau du son, j'utilise surtout les micros P pour un son bien rond. Quand je progresserai, je verrai comment combiner tout ça. La basse arrive jouable, mais avec un manche un peu trop courbé et une action trop haute à mon goût. Après réglage (il faut procéder avec méthode et prudemment), c'est un vrai plaisir.

C'est une joie d'avoir un si bel instrument, et à un tel prix. Le service Thomann est sans faille et l'expédition rapide, comme d'habitude.

No dissapointment here
BasilX 12.12.2020
I must say I am a keyboard player - I bought Jaguar Bass for fun and with a bit suspicion regarding quality. But no, the quality is actually well above my expectation.
My Jaguar was set perfectly right from the box, no need to touch anything. The sound is surprisingly rich with wide range of possibilities.
I love almost everything about this instrument, the 32" neck is perfect for me, the looks, the finish. The weight is a bit less than 4kg so it is not light, nor too heavy.
I am not huge fan of nested volume and tone controls, would prefer classic jazz bass arrangement, however that is my personal preferrence. The tuners have a bit of cheap feel, otherwise they work flawlessly. The bridge also looks a bit light but obviously does the job just fine.
So, for this kind of money, look no further!

Fast Fat Feline. Well Done Squier.
Graham3281 21.04.2023
Highly recommend this bass. Nothing to fault at the price. Well made. Great range of nice fat tones from PJ pickup configuration. Versatile stacked volume and tone controls can produce wide range of useable tones. Aesthetically very pleasing. Beautiful SB finish. Nice "70s Fender" style block inlays on fretboard. Slim jazz style neck. The relatively uncommon 32 inch scale length seems an ideal compromise between long scale 34 inch and short scale 30 inch basses! Resulting in improved playability with nice fat deep tones. I have owned 4 short scales but they all feel like a bit like toys under the hand, whereas this feels like a 34 inch bass but easier to play and less of a stretch for my relatively small hands. The string spacing at top nut is quite close, ideal for me, but it might deter those with larger hands who prefer a wider Precision type neck string spacing.

I have retrofitted a Fender Hi Mass bridge (available from Thomann). Which is in my opinion, more stable, slightly improves sustain and looks classy. Also added Dunlop combination Straploks as I intend to gig this bass.

I am a regular gigging player and own high-end hand built boutique basses plus American MMs, Fenders Jazzes, G&Ls, etc so I really didn't need another bass (but that has never stopped me) I bought this CV Jaguar purely on a whim, but was pleasantly surprised. It's definitely a keeper. Ideally suited to beginners, students and those with smaller hands, but perfectly capable of delivering the goods for professional gigs too. Well done Squier this Jaguar is the "Cat's Whiskers" and clearly a Top Cat!

Great Bass for the money!!!
john182 14.02.2022
I needed an inexpensive bass for my home studio and I chose this instrument.
My expectations were fully met.
Just a great instrument.

p.s. It's a pity it doesn't come with a case, but then it would be more expensive.

Great instrument, poor tuners
Oobly 21.03.2020
Overall, this is a fantastic bass and well worth the money.

Fretwork, build quality, fit and finish are all excellent. Comparing it to my 2018 CV 70's P-bass, it's just as good in those aspects. My particular bass is very light, around 3.5kg. The pickups are good and the controls versatile, giving a wide range of possible tones. I am happily surprised by the 32" scale length (it was originally listed as 34" at the time I pre-ordered it, but it is in fact 32"), it's really fun to play and sacrifices nothing in tone.

The tuners let the side down, however. They are poor quality and it shows ("grindy" and inconsistent in feel), I recommend to upgrade them as soon as you get it.

Still well worth it, though, it's a great instrument and I'm really enjoying mine!

Excellent bass, but setup not great
Buttsy 21.08.2022
Loads of tones and very easy to play. The nut and action are a small bit lacking in my opinion. Required a full set up to be really playable

great begginner bass
WiillGB 19.02.2021
I've had this for a few months now and i'm happy to say this bass is exactly what i wanted.

I'm a guitar player who wanted a bass to complete my recordings, and it does the job perfectly. The smaller scale feels really compfortable switching between bass and guitar.

The great thing about this bass (appart from it's excellent looks) is the controll you have over the pickups. Individual tone and volume controlls for both means you can get all sorts of tones.

Overall great bass, would highly recommend !
