MP3 players are great...you won't regret it, as long as you don't lose it (mine is a big Creative Zen and is bigger than a credit card - i like it that way). I have about 7,000 songs on it.

I like the Boss flanger, if you are looking for something smaller. I recall you hate boss though...

Why? If it's your money...

[king_buzzo]

I know!!!!!!!! They're all like 'You need to learn how to save money son' and stuff.

I fucking saved up 750 euros last year and they're telling me that I dont know how to save up money! Fucking nonsense.

I might get away with buying just one pedal. All I need now is another muff, a new trem for my Jazzmaster, a flanger and a trem. Damnit.

Any of you Sonic boardies got a US Jazz?

[king_buzzo]

The US JM's are way better. They look like real Jazzmasters with their chrome hardware and mint pickup guards. and the combination of Bridge+Trem Tailpiece works way better than with the CIJ models. The spring is stronger and the bridge is carefully done.

[Norma J]

But I has anyone here got one? It seems every Sonic boardmember has a Jazzmaster. I was curious if anyone had actually forked out the money for a US make or not?

[king_buzzo]

If you are living somewhere with low taxes then yes. The US ones here are double the price of the CIJ's. So that kept me from buying one. And in the US they're about 1200 which is not so so expensive.

[MellySingsDoom]

No Jazzmaster for me, but I do have a Fender Jaguar. Nice!

[king_buzzo]

Jazzmasters>Jaguars.

But yeah you do need the right eqipment to make a Jazzmaster sound like a real Jazzmaster. You cant just plug in in a crappy 5 watt amp and expect it to sound legendary

[heavium]

totally

i'm a lefty so it's kind of hard to get hold of stuff like that, the whole jag vs. jazzy thing is kind of silly, i like them both for different reasons, i like shortscalers but the jazzy can stand its ground a little bit better soundwise, my opinion, if you're going for a nice US RI like that you can't just plug it in to a crappy amp, agreed

personally i don't think the differences between a cij and mia reissue are worth the extra money, unless you can get it secondhand or, as mentioned before... outside this crap place where you pay more than double for a US one

also the service of fender (US) is very crappy over here, belgium is part of the uk fender headquarters , so we kind of get all the scraps, i waited about a year for my american precision bass (lefty) whilst it only took two weeks to get my cij '69 mustang here after i ordered it.

i guess that, at some point, like when i've finished my studies and stuffs i would def. save up for 'the real deal' but it's not a must, the cij's ar just fine for the money i think

[king_buzzo]

No, dont give money to Belgian and Dutch music shop assholes. Jags and JM's are ridiculously fucking expensive in here. I have a deal waiting for me when i get back to serbia, a 90's USA Jag.

I didn't get the Duo Sonic. Somebody bought it before I could. :[

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

If I had 800 or 900 dollars when I went into Pianos 'N Stuff I would. I found a sweet US reissue I wanted.

[Danny Himself]

MIJ Jazz for me, baby.

see ? i paid that much for a cij lefty '69 RI mustang (sonic blue)
europe eh..

anyway, a lot fo you prolly wouldn't give that much for a cij stang but i tell you what; getting that phonecall telling you it arrived at the store, going there all excited and stuff and then seeing this gorgeous lefty blue stang hanging there, waiting for you... it's feels..grand, then you just forget about teh $$
and honestly, it's my main guitar now, does what it has to do, rawk

btw, i think that if you have a shit musician playing an exspensive guitar thru a decent amp and a good musician playing a cheap guitar thru the same decent amp the cheap guitar played by the good musician will still sound better..

No. I was going to add if anybody had old originals. But then I thought I'd leave it open for both.

I'd love to see Blixa Bargeld's guitar collection.
