Johnny Marr Jaguar

StHubbins

Hi All,

I have recently got a Johnny Marr custom Jag, and I LOVE it!

One tech question. There are two bright switches at the top of the body - different to a standard Jag. The 'universal' bright switch makes a noticeable difference to the sound. Then there is a separate switch to adjust the brightness in the series position only. Perhaps it is because I am playing through a small amp at present, but hard to tell if there is much difference when I use the series switch.

Perhaps it is just subtle, and I need to hear through proper amp? Or should there be a noticeable shift?

Thanks!

It could be the amp or just a subtle effect. I don't have a lot of experience with the Marr Jaguars, but I can chime in on one thing...

Amplification makes a HUGE difference in how your Jaguar's controls are received. I have a Bugera 333XL, a Digitech RP-250, and a Fender MiniTone Master amp - out of the three, the most responsive to change of the Strangle switch is the Bugera (Tubes and 120 Watts), the least responsive to anything is the little 1W plastic battery powered mini Tone Master amp.

Another thing is the Series switch only affects the 4-way selector switch when it's in "Series" mode (which I think is all the way toward the neck, but don't quote me on that). So it won't have any effect on it in any other selection mode.
