Â£650, not sure how much I should have paid, but it didn't seem too O.T.T. I've got a couple of AVRI pickups to put in it, Im not expecting much from the stock jap ones, if my past experiences are anything to go by.

I saw one (in black) with humbuckers for 550â‚¬. True story. Good catch, thou.

i think these are a bit more desirable than the black 'buckered ones.

And for obvious reasons.

Just looked at completed listings on eBay, and one went for Â£800 a couple of weeks ago, so not a bad deal for me I don't think

even if they were Â£550 new.

I was looking into an HH baritone special that I was going to buy, but when the holy grail came up, I couldn't turn it down! I knew I needed one when I saw glassjaw at Leeds, and the guitarist was playing one, in drop A! I'll be tuning mine to B standard and rocking out some heavy shit.

Which Jag baritone is that? Is it just a baritone or a baritone Custom/VI? It's a decent price for the baritone, a steal for the Custom/VI... The Customs have been going for $1200+ last I looked.

I've got a schecter hellcat on the way from Ibiza, all together it's cost abouts Â£360 and I really can't wait to hear them deep ole lows.

I love my Hellcat VI and Ultra VI... do NOT dig the C-VI at all.
They're super fun basses to play

My new toy...

This is such a beast. Sounds HUGE. Might have to put in some AVRI pickups I have to see what it sounds like with them in. All in all though, I love the feel of this thing! I thought reaches would be harder than they are. It makes my mustang feel tiny though :p

Another Jaguar Baritone Custom for sale, if anyone is interested. A bit more than I paid for mine, but it looks in mint condition.

I'm loving mine at the minute. Surprisingly, the pickups are ace! I don't think I'm going to swap them out just yet, and can't see me needing to in the future either; very surprising for a MIJ.

Some pics of mine:

Trying to show the weird pickup cover colour here, its similar to aged squier plastics, looks almost translucent and weird.
