Description
Short scale doesn’t mean short on attitude. The Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Special SS takes the offset Jaguar body and shrinks the reach to a 30″ scale, so your fretting hand can relax while your right hand digs into a genuinely versatile P/J tone stack. The split single-coil Precision pickup in the middle position handles the thump and body, while the Jazz Bass single-coil at the bridge adds bite and growl — blend them with independent volumes and a shared master tone to dial in anything from thick rock foundation to punchy funk snap.
The slim, fast “C”-shaped neck and laurel fingerboard with medium jumbo frets make this bass feel effortless under the fingers, whether you’re a smaller-handed player, someone transitioning from guitar, or a gigging bassist who just wants a comfortable option for long sets. The agathis body keeps things light, and the black-painted headstock plus black Jazz Bass knobs give the Silver finish a clean, understated look on stage.
