FENDER PAWN SHOP REVERSE JAGUAR BASS

VINTAGE BASS

The Fender Pawn Shop Reverse Jaguar Bass takes you back to when bizarre one-offs and custom models would occasionally pop up in secondhand guitar stores. With its reverse neck and body, this is one striking bass. This instrument’s true character is revealed when it’s plugged in. With a pair of humbuckers—rare for a Fender bass—it’s an ideal combination of punch and jangle with just the right touch of low-end growl. To complete the picture, Fender also provided it with a high-mass modern bridge and set of vintage ’70s tuners.
