Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster demo

Just me playing my newly aquired Squier J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster. In my humble opinion, it is one of the best deals out there at the moment. Pick-ups are slightly more P-90-esque than a regular Jazzmaster, but they sound surprisingly good nonetheless.

I am playing through a Vox AC4TV amplifier on the 1 watt setting. Recorded with GarageBand through my Samson G-Track USB microphone. Also featuring the magnificent Eternity Fuse from Lovepedal (left toggle, level at 1 o'clock, drive at 9 o'clock, glass at 10 o'clock).

Songs played:
Radiohead - 15 Step
Team Me - Kennedy Street
Cold Mailman - Folie a Deux
Deerhoof - +81

Thanks for watching.

Tell us --- how do you like the neck???!!

[Beepkris]

@admiraltoast It is nice and chunky, not too far away from the neck on my '63 in terms of feel, to tell you the truth... A blast to play, really.

[1993marigold]

what was the first song you played?

[Beepkris]

@1993marigold That would be Radiohead - "15 Step".

thanks for a great review - done by just simply playing ! i have an AVRI jazzmaster but this squire is really making me think that i need a "back up". can you compare it to any other jazzmasters that you've owned or played ?

[Beepkris]

@indieclock I own a vintage 1963 Jazzy, a CIJ and a Lee Ranaldo Signature, and this Squier is by no means subpar compared to any of them (the lack of features, like the missing trem-lock, is perhaps a given at this price point). It has its own vibe of course, but overall I am amazed by the quality of this instrument!

Great playing

@vlado544 I completely understand what you mean. I also wanted the purple sparkle one and then all of a sudden it became a collectible Ebay item. The funny thing is that I was looking for a Jazzmaster with these exact colours and pickguard (minus the neck - I wanted maple). I couldn't afford any Custom Shop models or vintage ones. I was even planning on making it myself from parts. And then Squier released this... with a great price!

[vlado544]

@bloodySunday77 that's good to know. I've just remembered that original Fender J Mascis (purple) JM is out of production, so I hope this one will be still available in a few months (or years) by the time I have the money for it.

[bloodySunday77]

@vlado544 What do you mean? It is available everywhere...

[vlado544]

I just hope this will be mass produced

I cannot decide whether to get this Squier or an AVRI (or maybe a real vintage one). I was going to get a used classic player but there was an AVRI at the same store. I tried it and the AVRI was so good that the CP suddenly sounded like crap. Any advice?

great demo, great playing, great musical taste... I´m gonna get one right now!
