    Just have a look at this live-performance of D.A.D at Roskilde and listen to the distinctive JM sound Sleeping my day away @ Roskilde :-)

  • 30. March 2009: Jazzmaster in German Music Mag “Visions”

    The printed April issue of German Musicmag “Visions” features a supplement for guitarists – and among them Gibsons and mainstream-Fenders there’s a page for the Jazzmaster, the J.Mascis signature, to be precise.

  • 25. July 2008: Fender celebrates 50 years of Jazzmaster

    Recently a special webpage has been launched and on the 12th September 2008 a special concert will be held in New York’s Knitting Factory, with Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, Thurston Moore, J. Mascis and special guests!

  • 26. June 2008: Soundsamples bug

    There seems to be a problem with the Soundsamples of vintage and reissue Jaguar and Jazzmasters Files. Under certain browser/system circumstances no sound will be played and only “buffering” is displayed in the flash-player. For those with these problems I have added the url to the sound-files below each player. Cudos to “Elm” and thanks for the report.

  • 21. June 2008: New Gallery added

    I couldn’t resist and recently got me this beauty. I always lusted after a Candy Apple Red, matching headstock Jaguar – preferably a pre-CBS one, hahah. Well, close enough for Rock’n'Roll. :-)

  • 30. May 2008: Revised “Taming The Stringbuzz”

    Upon the author’s request I updated the Taming The Stringbuzz article with his new insights :-)
