BSB with a gold anodized guard would have looked like carrot-based vomit anyway.

true, i was simply interested how would they deal with that, i probably woudln't buy BSB anyway

i find the tone of basswood guitars duller than that of alder guitars. but that's just me. it won't keep me from trying one.

I'm stoked.

Same. They sound similar, but don't have that edge that alder does.

Plus it's so ridiculously soft. Look at it the wrong way and it will dent.

I'll still be trying one though.

one man's dull is another man's dark......they are close in tone though. the darker tone works well for me.

That just makes it cooler though.

i WILL hit it.
definitely.
('course i'll need a middle man in the US to ship it to me in mexiland...)

Pat.

No BSB? That makes me a sad panda. They'll probably end up being really expensive here anyways.

it strikes me that with the anodized pickguard, that guitar would be utterly gorgeous painted Desert Sand like the first Duo-Sonics. NOM NOM NOM.

but the $64,000 Question is: are the PUs proper Jazzmaster PUs with wide coils, or are they strat PUs with JM covers like the Japanese JMs?

desert sand would look fukking bitchin fo sho.
as for the 64,000,000,000 yen question??????....firstly i didn't know they went so cheap and used strat pu's,....and second, i change pu's in everything new anyway, so it really doesn't matter. BUT it's a question that i'd still like to know the answer to .

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully JM wouldn't let them get away with a cheap move like that.

It would be pretty easy to check one of those vintage modified Jazzmasters to see what kind of pickup Squier uses in a Jazzmaster. I heard the VM JM uses the same Duncan Designed pickup that's used in the Blacktop JM.

I'll take a white one, thanks.

I had speculated/hoped it might be the Duncan Designed JM, but haven't seen it confirmed. Apparently those are a real winner among the DD pickups, maybe good enough to not have to replace unless you're very particular.
