Fender Vintera ii '50s Jazzmaster v Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Jazzmaster v J Mascis Jazzmaster

- If you want a Jazzmaster with a certain look-that look being off-white/cream with an anodized pickguard-you've got choices. The main three are Fender Vintera ii '50s Jazzmaster, Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Jazzmaster, or the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster.

Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster: sweetwater.sjv.io/jmjm
You could go with the higher-end Fender Vintera ii '50s Jazzmaster, which is largely true to the '50s vintage vibe. You could save some money and choose the Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage Jazzmaster which has a fair amount of modern touches. Or, you could say "to hell with it, I'm here to be loud" and get the J Mascis Jazzmaster.
So I asked my friend @nisebelle to come by and help me decide what the ultimate ruler of this JM aesthetic is. And all I can say is, at least one of us could play guitar that day, because I was worthless, dudes.

I get the same vibe from some women pretending to be into warhammer, that you are larping, that you like pretending to be into guitars, not because of what the guitars actually mean to you, but rather how it means you are perceived in the sub-culture, as the cool guitar gurl, guitars become a means for attention.
Yeah I've been larping guitar since I was 8. Good god.
Do you even think that women are real people, dude? Can you even imagine a woman doing something because she likes it and not to get guys?
I suppose women are allowed to like guitarists but not guitars.
Maybe you should analyse where these vibes come from? I mean you don’t sound like you’re giving your vibes and impulses much of a critical prod. I only know so much about the world but if I’m really honest this channel to me is less convoluted and hugely more inspiring than your comment. Referring to the original comment of this thread.
Thank you, Emily, for being a musical beacon on the internet. Kind of like that cat in the neighbourhood that you always smile when you se, only not a cat nor a neighbourhood.
Let me break this down to you real quick, I’ll use simple words so the incel vibes you’re giving out to the world can comprehend. I’ve seen you make rounds on several creator’s videos spewing the same crap over and over again. whatever low t toxic hole you’ve dug yourself into, keep it to yourself. If you have a critique to make about her playing, just remember how no one of value has ever asked you for your opinion. If you want to make a comment about her gender and speculate as to why she plays guitar, I ask you to once again remember how anything you’ve ever said has indeed been irrelevant. Never speak again on the internet, your opinion is not valued, not welcome, and irrelevant. If you’re in the United States, we must come together to amend the constitution to exclude you in the first amendment.
I teach private guitar lessons and of all of my students I’ve had over the years my top students were all girls. The irony of your statement is that a good majority of boys who want to learn guitar do it because they want to be cool and get all of the girls.
Guitar is for EVERYONE.
Pin of shame
Jazzmaster middle position is THE premiere sound in all of guitardom.
The playing is so much better than most of the blues rock riff bro videos on youtube...subbed.
Thanks for the sub! Make sure to subscribe to Nisebelle's channel for more of her awesome playing!
Please do more gear reviews together. It was really enjoyable watching a comparison video that was about the guitars and not a couple of macho egos trying to outdo each other. I bet the two of you could be just as informative and entertaining reviewing a 10cm patch cable. Thank you. 🙂
Thanks so much! I'd definitely love to do more videos with Nisebelle!
I agree! More Nisebelle videos please! You guys are a lot of fun together. :)
Omg when she smiles when she plays. It’s a tangible sign of joy.
Usually a good sign!
It’s nice to hear a review where the demos are music I would actually listen to. Not just solos. 👍👍
Thanks for showcasing Nisebelle, spent the day watching her stuff and have been super impressed - i'm a fan now. I sadly had to offload all my guitars to fund my studies but my Squier CV Jazzmaster was the sole survivor and have bonded with it so much now, love it. When I can i'd love to do some hardware swaps but they're just really great quality instruments.
This video was one of the most enjoyable comparisons I've watched!
I watched this while texting you and I enjoyed every second of this! This was awesome!
You're awesome!
It is so refreshing to see a review where it’s not “which one is better” but “which one do you like more and why” and y’all pointing out where/how other people may prefer one you don’t. There are “crap” guitars, but serviceable ones really are a matter of preferences. PRS makes excellent quality guitars, I just don’t like them.
I knew it was good when you nailed my opinion on glossy necks: I don’t like them when my hand sticks, which may or may not be the case. I think you’re the first person I’ve heard call out the input jack problem. It’s so real. I can’t even buy jacks as bad as they use on
i really dont get why u dont have more views and subs this videos are so cool (also hello from spain)
Awesome duo, more please 🙏
That's the plan!
I got the same 40th anny Jazzmaster last year on a killer Black Friday deal.
Liked it, but then proceeded to put major upgrades into it. Electronics, pickups, Descendant vibrato, Stay Trem bridge, some cosmetics. Now I love it!
Spot on. I’ll add that I think adding some more use of the trem and a closer look at the bridges would show a bigger difference between these three as well. The stock bridge and tailpiece on my JMJM made it totally unusable as it would pull out of tune instantly, swapping to a fender tailpiece and mustang bridge made a massive difference. The squier vintage tuners also feel like a big step down, and the neck radius is a preference thing that might push people towards one or the other, but all that said all three of these are great for what they are (and their price point) - thanks for the great comparison vid!
Great playing!
You should check out her channel and her music!
That was fantastic - like hanging out with a couple friends (who can absolutely wail!). Love the sounds you brought out of those guitars. Sorry Emily you weren't able to play (hope the finger heals up soon) but have to say Nisbelle your playing was incredible!
I really liked how you brought out the J Mascis (the vaunted JMJM) at the end and confirmed that it's really a totally different beast than a traditional jazzmaster.
I really love my Classic Vibe JM - question I'm working through is whether to save/trade my way up to the V2 or to upgrade the pups and trem and call it a day :). No wrong answer and in the mean time it's my #1.
If you like the overall feel, I say upgrade it!
Thanks for the kind words! Finger is already a LOT better.
honestly, the pickups might be the last thing you should upgrade. my cv jm has the pickup selector failing already and i got it for christmas 😢 im gonna replace all the pots and switches so i can make sure its gonna be reliable
Get the JM jazzmaster and get a set of pure vintage 65s and you have the best jazzmaster available for under $1000. I would also recommend getting a tune o matic with roller saddles too but that’s not required
sounds amazing!!
I bought the Vintera II partly because of video. The neck is amazing. One of the best feeling feeling necks I’ve played. I love how thin it is.
Great video. Y’all make me want to pick up a Vintera II. 💸💸💸
I'm not gonna try to deter you from that
That Squier is really more suited to be paired against the Vintera Jazzmaster verse the Vintera II. Pups in Squier are 60's voiced and the Vintera II has the 50's voiced and it's gonna make them instantly a different flavor and not indicative of which to get or what to expect from Squier vs Fender.
So much good playing and good sound there !
Nisebelle is a great guitarist!
Such a wonderful coincidence that you review all three of the jazzmasters i’m currently deciding between.
Well, looks like i have to make space for a Vintera this weekend ^^
Great video ☺️
This video was literally made for you!
yeah, just like my new Vintera
you got the vintera ii?@@BumbiPuck
hows the 7.25 radius? thats the only thing im worried about@@BumbiPuck
@@frostokonma yeah i got the Vintera II in Blue, love it!
It’s no problem at all with the radius, super comfortable and no problem with bending etc, not with proper setup :)
Thank you! Both are really good guitars but that Vintera ii sounds absolutely incredible. Debating which one to get. I love the desert sand color, too. I think i would be happy with either.
I love Jazzmasters. This was a fun review. Thanks!
Thank you!
I agree @nisebelle, the JM might be my next guitar. The JM is my top VII for certain. Great review! Thanks!
What an AWESOME review not to mention such goood guitar playing. Your tone’s, cadence, and just “feel” for the moment was dope! I’ve been on the hunt for a really good JM. I had a J Masic squier but it wasn’t for me! Have you ever played the old Mexican classic series JM’s or the new American vintage ones?
Check out more of Nisebelle's videos!
Really great video you two! I enjoyed that so much! I've had a J Mascis JM for a few years and love it. I really did want something that was closer to a traditional JM but still felt good like my JMJM. I was thinking of buying a second one and doing a pickup swap, when I saw the 40th anniversary squire go in sale about a month ago for $250. I figured it was worth a shot. And it is fantastic! I'm so glad to have it. Thanks for doing this comparison. You can hear the refinements in the sounds of the Fender over the squire however, I really liked the neck sounds on the Squire better on both lead and rhythm circuits. I'm curious what it would sound like to switch out the bridge pickup on the squire with fender? I also like the matte finish better. For the price difference I'll stick with the squire. Super fun video to watch! And Nisbelle always looks so happy when she's playing, it's a beautiful thing to see that kind of joy.
I agree. Got me the seafoam 40th a few weeks ago and after trying to buy a few more they emailed saying they have been discontinued
@@BryanHRBrodie yeah I had actually ordered one from fender’s site and paid. I got an email the next day saying they were out. Hopped on GC’s site and grabbed one there. So glad I didn’t miss out.
Great video! I enjoyed every second🙂. My J Mascis is my favorite guitar that I own.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wonder what the ohm reading is on the pick ups are ,you can do this on the jack and with a cheap meter... Id also be curious what the body woods are , I guess the fender is alfer and the squier is popular?
Great video , I'm currently waiting for a tele with the p90/jazz pick ups to arrive should aound similar. 😅
Cool review vid. ProAudioStar had some bonkers Squier blowouts over the past year or so. Copped the 40th Anv JM in LPB with the neck binding and block inlays for like $300. Before that, with a tax return one of their blowout sales allowed me to outfit my band with all 3 of the "skyburst metallic" Contemporary Series models for like half retail, now we look super profesh for the 2 or 3 gigs a year we play 🤣
Gosh that Squire sounds so good
Dam I really love jazzmasters now I don’t know what I was thinking before . Keep up the great work . I don’t know if you’ve discussed this yet but when I was playin shows back in the day it gets hot as hell in Australa and my hands would get sweaty and sticky yes gross . But got a way around this ?
Great review! I went to a store to get a pedal, walked out with the Vintera II, it’s a fantastic guitar. Feels & sounds great.
Very relatable!
Lovely playing ladies. I think I prefer the Squier.
i love offsets but ive actually never even played a jazzmaster. i've always stuck to jags and mustangs, but this video is really tempting me...
i bought the contemporary tele and debated getting that squier jazz from proaudiostar too and I wish i got the jazzmaster but I love the contemporary tele. The prices were insane like 6months ago on that site and they never restocked any squiers since haha
Shoutout @nisebelle! She's the reason I'm doing a custom Partsguar project this year.
I have more expensive and better Jazzmasters, but I can't let go of my Squier! I just love it. Thanks for the fun video. Hope your finger heals soon.
I hope so too!
Oh wow! Moving up in the world!
Awesome video, subbed
Awesome, thank you!
cool stuff. one day i'll get me a jazzmaster with the standard pickup config (mine has a humbucker in the bridge, so it doesn't do the normal jazz thing).... that squier seems pretty neat, id' get that if i weren't currently over my guitar limit.
They all sound good. I got the 40th anniversary Squier one. Yes, I got mine on sale, but in the seafoam. I have no need to change the pickups yet. But if I do, I will get some Jazzmaster pickups to put in. Right now, it doesn't seem to need it.
Same here
On the Squier site, the 40th Anniversary JM has a dark (laurel) fingerboard with block inlays
it's a different model, there is vintage (this one) and gold edition
Does the Vintera II have full size Jazzmaster bobbins, or are they Strat bobbins in a Jazzmaster cover, like the Pro 2?
Liking the cozy vibe here. Loved Jazzmasters but my body never seem to agreed with one.
I brought back a "Jazzmaster Junior Collection" from Japan a few months back, and it's a dream come true for me. It's smaller, MUCH lighter and has a 24" neck like a jaguar. the pickups sound excellent and the paint is a satin matte finish. i don't know why they called them "Junior" because they're only 94% scale, it's not for kids... if you can get your hands on one, i bet you'll love it.
Whoa that sounds awesome!
9-42 is the gauge listed on Fender's website
Emily, is the neck on the Vintera II chunky, or like a modern C, etc.?
Thats the most interesting slide I've ever seen...
Pro Audio Star are super cheeky, they circumvent MAP laws by exploiting the "open box" factor - as soon as they open the box, they're free to sell the guitar for whatever they want to, rather than the MAP set by the manufacturer. Here in the UK, we don't have those MAP laws, so our retailers are constantly fighting for the lowest price. Works out well for the consumer, but really stings the stores - especially smaller stores that can't afford to take a hit.
Nice review ! what is the string gauge you use on jazzmasters ?
I use 10s
I don't know the name of your guest star, but their "offset channel" has been UA-cam recommended to me a bunch. They are a sick guitar player (as are you, my friend "Get Offset"). I'd love to hear a proper song from the two of you. Great video, great vibes. PS: The J Mascis does sorta sound like a fart machine...too much bass.
Great video. I recently purchased my first offset, a Squire 40th Anniversary (just like yours). I paid about $400. Currently, it's getting a setup job at Mike & Mike's. So far, I like it. I'm trying to get used to the JM-style pickups. a little trebly for my taste. I like the Vintera II, but not enough to pay the extra bucks, at least not at this time. Maybe somewhere down the line.
For me, the secret to a Jazzmaster is to use the heck out of the tone knob. My JM bridge pickup sounds amazing with the tone set in the 5-6 range. For the neck pickup, I drop the volume to 9 to tame just a little highs without losing sparkle. The secret to the rhythm circuit is to use it with fuzz 😀
@@karabinerstudiosagreed. The Tone knob on the jazzmaster is the key to taming that brittle, high end tone.
I think the "witch hat" knobs were a CBS thing. Introduced in 1965-66 when they introduced the block and binding neck's on the Jazzmaster. Not sure if the dot and binding (1965) had these....
Could you take a look at the Chicago Music Exchange classic vibe Jazzmaster with maple neck and walnut finish?
Probably not unless they send me one. Unfortunately I can't go out of pocket in guitar demos rn
@@GetOffset oh didnt expect a reply ^_^; i understand, its the jazzmaster i want to buy and ive seen no videos on it really
i used 0000/super fine steel wool to very lightly take the gloss off my vintera jazz bass neck. it's still not as good as the nicest satins i've felt (though they aren't all good) but it's definitely an improvement to me.
I've been looking into a few methods and that's definitely one of them.
Oh geez I just realized that If you get the squier and put black pickups and guard on it it looks like the prototype that norms had for years 🤤I’ve always wanted that guitar somehow
Oh wow!
Apparently Fenders come with 10s and Squiers with 9s. I played several Squier Classic Vibe models (JM, Jag and Strat) last week side by side with their Fender counterparts and I noticed the string tension feel too. The shop clrk confirmed the string gauge difference. That said, for a casual player the Squier CVs are weirdly and perfectly good. I'd have a very hard time justifying the 300% price increase to get the Fender.
So usefull video and quality , but , it didnt help me at the end ! I put trigger on macisc and 40th anniversary !
Yeah! I really love offset jazzmaster and jaguar squire is really great I make songs with this
thinking of picking up the 40th anniversary
Hope you love it! It's a really solid guitar.
Let me tell you one thing. The squire 40th jazzmaster is the best!🎸💜
The bonus comparison JMJM was a nice touch. Ultimately the Squier really held its own against the others, particularly the neck pickup.
Man I've wanted a JM JM for a while. I have a Squier CV, but I kinda want a JM JM for the TOM bridge, which will let me run lighter roundwounds.
The Squier sounds good, but the Fender sounds that much better, at least to my ears.
100% agree
Indeed
She was looking at the neck the whole time, kind of like what I was saying for you do. Love you all and have a blessed day!!!
Sunn O))) belt buckle?
Maybe I missed where you said it, but what overdrive/distortion/fuzz where you guys using? Getting some Sonic Youth tones.
Montreal Assembly Too Positive!
@@GetOffset nice, watched your review of it, got excited and then found out it was not in production :p
@kanahmal they tend to do runs of pedals from their website. I'd sign up for the email list or even ask if they have plans to make more. It's a pretty awesome pedal. There's one on Reverb but it ships from NL reverb.com/p/montreal-assembly-too-positive?gspk=Z2V0b2Zmc2V0NzQwNw&gsxid=XX7q3kABadcaRv&ps_partner_key=Z2V0b2Zmc2V0NzQwNw&ps_xid=XX7q3kABadcaRv&
@@GetOffset I'll ask em, I was mostly excited about them being $100 as I currently have my heart set on an Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight which I feel is similar but more expensive.
Great and fun video! I think some important differences to consider between the Squier and Vintera are that the Squier has a modern 9.5 radius, bone nut, and truss rod access at the head. Vintera has 7.25” radius, plastic nut, and truss rod access at the heel. For the price of the Vintera you could buy 2 or 3 Squiers which have better specs if not the Fender logo.
liking 9.5 over 7.25 is not a "better spec" but rather a subjective preference either way, the fender has the superior specs, but remains overpriced.
And you snuck a hold steady riff in there
Question, I'm hesitating between this one and the American pro2. Having tried both what are your insights ? :)
I think they're pretty different. The amp pro ii is WAY more modern, with more action on the vibrato and a series switch where the rhythm circuit usually is. I personally love both but the vintera ii is so special to me right now. Listen to some demos and think about what pickups you prefer, too.
@@GetOffset Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it! For build quality and playability you have a preference between the 2?
Not a clear preference, no. More of a "what's my mood today" kind of thing. The Vintera ii is newer, so obviously it's getting a lot of play.@@d_cl
@@GetOffset Thanks :)
Really enjoy both of your playing. I’m going to throw all my guitars in the garbage now
j mascis said he loves loud guitars and abrasive, so it makes sense. That squier is great for noise rock, if u have ever listened to dinosaur jr. j mascis's band for those who dont know, its emotionally loud and in yuh face tamed by j .mascis soft gentle singing
You need to use Martin Guitar polish on those Glossy necks to get rid of the stickys.
I'll check it out!
Martin Polish? Like Martin guitars polish? Thx
12:15 all is said ❤
What fuzz was used for the Squier?
This was the only dirt used in this video: mtlasm.com/product/too-positive/
@@GetOffset Thanks!
I have a positive comment for you ladies. THANK YOU for not playing the obligatory and ubiquitous (can I use two 50 cent words together?) blues wanking that 96% of guitarists demoing pedals/guitars/amps play. So thank you for a different approach. Very cool! we need some variety on here.
I appreciate the kind words, thank you!
11:41 - Silversun Pickups! ...that's what you're going to do on a guitar right now.
I get this a lot, but I'm actually playing The Hold Steady right there!
@@GetOffset Aha! Well, hush my mouf! ;-D Thanks, I'll check them out!!
My V2 is on the way and I’m praying my neck looks like yours 😅 ive seen photos of some crazy red streaking through the grain and it just doesn’t look as good as a solid dark rosewood. We shall see 👀
Fingers crossed!
Which fuzz is that?
Iirc this was the mtl.asm too positive
Hi girls! Thanks for this awesome demo.
If I were to play say, Placebo covers, which of the Mascis or 40th anniversary would you recommend? (like in this sound: ua-cam.com/video/LnUXxfUSyMg/v-deo.htmlsi=_EK7KIY_fUCJVyYb&t=261)
9's on the 40th.
Good heavens, Emily-what did you do to your left-hand index finger?
Tried to halve an English muffin on three hours of sleep and no coffee
Please add timestamps going forward!
I don't really have the time to do that for every video.
You can add the time stamps for her and help out around here!
@@GetOffset understand for sure, it helps for the longer ones
Someone does do that from time to time! I was doing it for awhile but didn't find it made a big difference in terms of bounce or time spent watching@@Dungeon_of_Regret
Seattle area offset represent 🤘🤘🤘🤘🐈❤️
hell yeah!
ya so, thanks for this. Just buy the looks of it the real deal looks 10 times better. the huge pickups on the squier alone just look to big etc...better to save up and get the best one. Plus the squier sound really bad lol
Very happy to see the two VERY few women running guitar gear/tutorial channels get together! Base off the pinned comment I can tell you and nisebelle both get some really misogynistic comments. I know it's not easy to pretend these toxic sexist trolls don't exist, but you two are doing wonders! Keep rocking!
Thanks so much!
JMJM does not have p90s but normal JM pickups that are hotter, they pack a punch. I even play metal with my JMJM. I think one of the greatest bonuses is its bridge also. I am familiar with TOM so I prefer it to the standard JM bridges. I think you guys are used to regular JM's which is why you seemed to like JMJM less. For me, it was the reverse case. If I have to coin it, i would say a J Mascis JM is super JM. Like strats and super strats.
did i hear some remo drive in there or am i losing it? xD
I don't know Remo drive
@@GetOffset sorry Its a band that used to make pretty good like midwest emo, there was a part where Nisebelle played that overdriven tone that sounded much like something Remo Drive specifically would play. Could just be same key sorta thing.
@@UnderTheZero Haha I actually LOVE Remo Drive! Definitely a good chance that I unintentionally snuck in one of their riffs while I was plucking around!
Lemme pick up my guitar
*pops out from behind houseplant with nearly identical looking MIJ heritage JM*
Okay this made me LOL 😂
Yr title and blurb has "Classic Vibe Late '50s" JM all over. Might wanna adjust that 👽
Why?
@@GetOffsetBecause its the 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition? Totally different from the CV Late 50s model.
You make a compelling argument.
@@GetOffset Just trying to help 😂 I have the 40th edition myself in the same colour. This was a cool comparison.
@@airyoucankiss666 appreciate it haha
There needs to be more guitar channels with this type of girl talk on UA-cam.
Wow - thanks so much, ladies, for this really telling comparison! Sold me completely on the Vinterra II - such beautiful pickups! Now if only it came in a Sunburst or dark blue (which is doesn‘t)…. But the sound! Might just get that pale blue one despite not really loving the color. Will first see how the Vinterra II compares to a Made in Japan Traditional Late 60s.
Wait till 2024, they might do a 60's model with more finish options or add more finishes for the early spring, they usually do.
@@sentientsonicmachines Thanks so much for commenting. And perhaps I will still end up with a Vintera (III ?), but in the meantime I bought - and returned - the Vintera II, and instead bought (and kept) a Made in Japan Traditional Late 60s. Why the MiJ and not the Vintera? Because I loved (!!!!!) the sound of the Vintera II a lot, but just couldn‘t deal with the shape/size of the neck. :-( The MiJ has a much better neck size/shape for me, and a much less pleasing (but somehow acceptable) sound. I might change the pickups later on. But for now, I‘m enjoying playing the MiJ a lot. If they come out with a Vintera II having a neck like the MiJ, I‘d be tempted to try it.
idk..that 40th ann squier jazz tho...
Squier has a way nicer finish
Thanks for the great collaboration. You both inspired me with my Bass VI and my two paranormals (cyclone & offset tele) to both get and mod. Only just finished modding the cyclone to get some more hidden Jaguar into it in (www.reddit.com/r/offset/comments/17b94gm/cyclone_series_wiring_mod_squier_by_fender/)
Please have more collaborations with Nisebelle.
We plan on doing some more stuff together!
@@GetOffset Yay! Would love you to compare your modding ideas. Or have a different approach to what you like and what you change on the same guitar.
The squir has 50s inspired jazzmaster pickups. The vintera 2 has overwound strat pickups with jazzmaster covers.
What makes you say that? It's the first time I have heard it.
Maybe thats why I prefer de Vintera 😅
@@jacobseal if you take the cover off you'll see a very tall bobbin that matches a strat pickup exactly with the windings and everything. Real Jazzmaster pickups have windings to go about to the edge and they're about half as thick as a strat pickup where the winding is. There's nothing wrong if you like a strap pick up over a Jazzmaster pickup but if you're going for a traditional Jazzmaster if you use strap pickups like that it's going to sound like a long scale version of a Jaguar
@@theWARMJET nothing wrong with a good strat pick up in it that's what a Jaguar has.
They know J Masic, so you know they're real. Even Stevie T doesn't know how Mascis is.
Does he really not? I listened to weird indie shit when I was in high school (and beyond, obviously). I have a lot of holes in my knowledge bass in plenty of genres, but I feel like J is one of those you should know even if you're not into that kind of sound.
@@GetOffset That is also how I felt haha. But yeah, Stevie reviewed the Rolling Stones list of 200 Greatest Guitarists and didn’t know who J was, which was baffling for a guy of his playing level. He wasn’t aware of Kurt Vile either, so maybe it’s just an indie gap in his music collection haha.
