Guitar of the Day: Fender Jaguar Bass CIJ with Matching HS | Greg Coates at Norman's Rare Guitars

[@clubnightparade]

Finally I get to be the guy in the comments who says "I have that bass an I love it. " an I gotta say I have that bass an I love it.

[@MikeTaffet]

A: the color is called “Hot Rod Red” B: radius is 9.5” C: many people have issues with factory shielding on these basses, which could be fixed by applying copper tape D: the noise was amplified by the fact that the factory preamp potentiometers were 500k value, which was too high for the preamp circuit, so as soon as you turned the treble boost up even a tiny bit you had maxed out the treble boost, causing any 60hz hum to become even more pronounced.

[@rustyshackleford3884]

I had this bass in this color for years - the only guitar I have ever regretted getting rid of

[@spoonysmalls]

same

[@vernonhoover1387]

My buddy had a red,jag bass. His bass ruled.with the punch and power! It has tone to your bones!

[@toddneary]

Believe this is Hot Rod Red, not Dakota. This and the white version were offered with matching headstocks.

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

One of the sickest basses we’ve ever seen or heard on this channel!

[@andrewwatts970]

Greg rules!! Thumpin thursdays have never been so good

[@dundaravewine2390]

Hey Lemmo, take a day off on Thursdays - let Greg do this - he is why we are here!

[@martinbeaudry9475]

Agree .!!!

[@leebraly3904]

Very cool red bass. Great performance and explanation Greg. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottnathanphoto]

I have a few of these. They're great, but as we can hear on this, they're badly shielded from the factory. The shielding paint doesn't really work. I lined my cavities w copper. Worked like a charm.

[@USSLIBERTYREMEMBERER]

CIJ instruments are so funny. It’ll be the best instrument you’ve been played in your entire life, except for one thing, which they forgot to do for that entire line. Like, my jazzmaster has literal strat pickups😭

[@spoonysmalls]

Can i buy one?

[@arthuraguirrejr.9500]

I know Greg makes these basses sing, but I've noticed that the SVT is giving them this huge, nice beefy sound. I know this channel is dedicated to guitars/basses, but man I would love to hear a demo concentrating on that sweet, sweet SVT too

[@MrRawnch]

These were made in Black, Cobalt blue, Sunburst, and Hod Rod Red. The red option was the only one with a matching headstock. I bought one of these the first day they hit my local guitar shop and they're fantastic basses. The neck, nut, and radius profile are very close to a 70's Jazz bass and the pickup spacing is unique because it not a typical 60's or 70's spacing. Sits in a really nice sweet spot.

[@caseydavidnelson]

I have one of these MIJ ‘05 basses and it’s Pacific White.

[@t.n.patronis4098]

Great job, awesome sound.

[@sonnyeubanks7693]

Hey Greg I love your playing. I also play bass. I have 1990's Fender P Bass with active and passive pickups. It is wine red and can cover about any bass sound. Keep on thumping

[@toddneary]

If I remember right the colour options w/ matching headstocks were introduced around 2009.

[@MikeTaffet]

Nah, the red model was one of the first available and had the matching headstock

[@toddneary]

@@MikeTaffet Nah, the red was not available on the first run of Jag basses. Check it out for yourself if you want.

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Greg and I have had our debates but the dude knows his bass culture/gear

[@gregcoates4281]

Thanks my friend-Happy New Year

[@spoonysmalls]

really? got the color wrong, radius wrong, talked foolishness about the j neck pickup. He just makes up what he thinks is right w/o researching first.

[@contrabandjoe7974]

@spoonysmalls We can all fact check you to see if you're accurate, or just a simple troll. But even if he did get some specs incorrect, that doesn't mean he doesn't know his industry....

[@rockdaddy2168]

Sweet. I like the Fender basses from Japan, the necks are smaller, I have short fingers.

[@catfishmudflap]

A stunner!

[@briandixon2700]

Great enthusiasm as always from Greg🎸🎸

[@manuelgasse]

I’ve had one of these for the last 12 years. Sunburst. Great instrument. Super solid.

[@Smagledorf]

Greg Coates always bringing the flavour to Thumpin Thursday! Awesome work Greg! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@YourFavouriteColor]

I believe that model came in hot rod red, boys.

[@CW0123]

Cool bass. I wish the American standard version used the dimension bass pickups

[@hjs6752]

the color is HOT ROD RED

[@blib3786]

Idk if it's just the SVT but that has got to be one of the best bass tones I've heard in a youtube demo.

[@w13rdguy]

Helpful, channel boosting comment.☘️

[@laiklovesmusic]

Bassist from BRNS use to play this bass when they released their debut extended play ‘Wounded’ in 2012.

[@hadrosaurus]

i have one of these that i bought new around 2009 in white. i think it was around $650 new. I'll never sell it its an awesome instrument

[@gregcoates4281]

*Dakota Red-my bad 🤦🏼

[@Pandamasque]

What scale is it? Looks like Hot Rod red or Torino Red. Dakota's usually darker.

[@gregcoates4281]

34” scale

[@Petanifer]

For the series/parallel switch, up is series, down is parallel.

[@kengibbens5059]

1st Bridge pick up riff reminded me of Rowing by Soundgarden

[@gregcoates4281]

Thanks!?! One of my absolute fave bands ⚡️🙏🏽⚡️

[@courtneygillespie]

I love the jaguar bass 😌

[@johndogwater]

Woo, I have one too.

[@RockwoodStreetBand]

I almost bought one for a little under 600 after I graduated from highschool a few years back. Kicking myself in the ass now for not getting it. That hot rod red looks so damn good too

[@MikeTaffet]

I have the hot rod red one like in this video and it’s my favorite bass of all time

[@RockwoodStreetBand]

@@MikeTaffet yeah, that's what I was going to buy myself after I graduated from high school. But instead I decided on a PJ mustang bass and some pedals

[@chickentwisties2298]

Wow this guy can really play!

[@Pandamasque]

6:25 is Darth Vader doing camera work today?

[@dirtylove000]

when say bridgh pickup its using paralel, if the left switch its up parallel its active

[@edtrevino2560]

I got mine last year, mine is 2007 same color, great basses

[@thegreatfooch]

This is my baby! It came with no shielding from the factory. If you look at the serial number, the first 2 numbers are the year. My ser# starts 06, so it's made in 2006. Also, it has a vintage 7.25 radius

[@MikeTaffet]

I have the same bass. I’ve measured the fretboard radius. It’s 9.5”. Cheers!

[@thegreatfooch]

@@MikeTaffet nah dude. Idk what you have, or what you think you have, but mine is 7.25 radius. You're work here is done KZbin luthier

[@takecourage92]

Picked one of these up for £650 about 10 years ago on sale. Great bass, made better by the fact its so unique. the only real issues are neck dive when seated and the pickup noise.

[@SamSveistrup]

that's what i'd be playing too

[@SamSveistrup]

Great job Greg you're super good

[@tinman8518]

Let Greg do the intro to Thumpin' Thursdays by himself. He's more than capable.

[@wildbilljr3369]

it's funny everyone else at norms. gets to do a guitar of the day on there own except for Greg. and there all great guitar players. but lemmo wont let Greg do one alone.

[@derael61]

flock of seagull really beefing up the bottom end!

[@bluesyjazzcat31]

Got one of these back in 2008 before I really got into the p bass players. As I got older and more confident in my modding, I routed out a spot for a p bass pickup in the middle and moved the jazz neck pickup further toward the neck. I’m still trying to get a stack knob configuration to work with the preamp. Won’t need another bass for a long long while after these mods. This is a killer bass! I hope gender rereleases them.

[@photopicker]

Where is all the noise coming from? The switches or something sounds a tad microphonic.

[@gregcoates4281]

I think we were having some SVT issues that day,needs some possible cleaning,maybe pre-amp(microphonic?) tube replacement…?

[@rdvgrd6]

The real winner here is the goddamn Ampeg SVT fridge

[@prawer_wn]

-guitar of the day -it's a bass

[@roberteberhart1139]

It sounds really bassy...and it's red

[@PastelComGini]

The bass is beautiful, but maybe you guys could invest in a camera with external mic and put it fixed somewhere. The agc of the... phone? does weird things, and there was something I guess was breathing here and there. I'm not complaining, just giving a feedback.

[@photopicker]

Jen has done a lot of GOTD with the gear she has. Something is going on with that specific instrument and / or amplifier and / or rig.

[@alittlebitgone]

The fuck? Are we eating the mic now?

[@sends2aaron]

SECOND!!! HELL YEAH

[@Allison_Chaynes]

I only like Fiesta Red on Fender guitars. The others look like toys and not instruments, for some reason. It is pretty though. Maybe I'm rethinking my love for it. Cheers to Fender!!!!!

[@courtneygillespie1187]

James Bond would play the Jaguar 😂

[@texasranger5702]

А мне эта серия бас гитар не нравится у Фендера!) Да и по звуку здесь лажа какая-то, как у рядового китайца.

[@spoonysmalls]

Late 50s Jazz basses? You just making shit up when you don't know? Jazz bass wasnt around on the 50s. And that's hot rod red and radius is 9.5. Salesman sucks.

[@heres2ya]

what the heck was Lemmo even there for to just pick up the guitar, and ask Greg a bunch of questions about it? ?... for Christ sakes!, give Greg the spot light. it would of been nice that the camera, and mic was also given the same respect as you do for Lemmo. it sounded, and filmed like crap.
