IntelligentAl Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Jaguar is a thing of class and beauty, it is a delicate form. Aluminium pickguard? Sir, go and fuck yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I thought you ordered one a while back? I did, but there was some huge delay in getting it to the dealer (which isn't listed on the maton website anymore for some reason). Ended up canceling. If I get one, I'm probably going to find a place that actually has one in stock and order it from them...chances are that will be a place in australia though There's one for sale in pennsylvania right now, but it's on craigslist ... generally they don't ship.

Funny you say that, I played a couple of Maton's yesterday while I was in a music shop for about three hours. To sum them up, they were great. I actually own a Maton acoustic which I can only describe as being the least forgiving guitar on my fingers, but worth it for the sound. First guitar I learned on too. I'm gassing an electric upright bass now... With a bow. Posted it in another thread and after hearing some clips, it sounds like a smart investment... Damn monies.

james90 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 nice, which ones did you try? I was thinking of getting it from here. I don't think they're in stock right now, but maybe by the time I'm ready to buy http://www.haworthguitars.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I can't remember the exact models of all of them we tried (mainly the acoustics). There was a fretless bass that made me jelly but it seems like they had this bass for about 5 years at least. The one I definitely remember was the MS2000-dlx which we played through a no name "cheap" wireless guitar system and a Line6 amp. http://www.maton.com.au/electrics/ms2000-dlx.html This meant I couldn't get an exact idea of how it sounded, even if I thought it did sound quite good. It did however, feel good and play superbly. I thought it would be a bit of an adventure from my usual strat love affair, it could have also been the good setup, none the less, I approve wholly of anyone who gets one. So I didn't end up with the guitar, or a bass but I did buy "that" wireless system for $100. I'll record some samples of that later for an unbiased review. With guitar it was sweet but I know it should suck with bass but we'll see, could be a suprise. EDIT: The other Maton that really shone through as fantastic was a travel sized acoustic. If I played acoustic more, I would buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 So yesterday I had a Jaguar/Jazzmaster shootout... I like the Jaguar better because it's what IntelligentAl likes best because of the scale length. Feels more like a Les Paul (which I'm used to) than the Jazzmaster. Also, I haven't played the MB-1 in ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I haven't played the MB-1 in ages Jim don't tell me you've been playing that les paul more I just finished restringing mine... after complaining about it for a year and a half, I decided to put lighter A and D strings on (standard 10's gauge) with a .052 for the 6th string. Feels much easier to play that way and doesn't rattle as much. Maybe I can stop worrying and put it in standard tuning for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
