NGD : CIJ Fender Jaguar Bottom Master (Baritone / Bass VI)

This 2004'ish Fender Japan Jaguar Bottom Master popped up on the local Craigslist the other day, and I couldn't resist...

It's 28.5" scale and strung with light bass strings and meant to be tuned one full octave lower than standard. The usual Jaguar rhythm circuit switch on the upper control panel engages a built-in fuzz circuit, and the strangle switch on the lower control panel toggles between two fuzz voices. What are usually volume and tone rollers for the rhythm circuit are level and gain controls for the fuzz, and the pop-up battery compartment in the back holds a 9v to power it. To me it sounds a little bit Superfuzz'ish with the toggle switch switching between a scooped mids voice and a more biting treble voice.

I've been playing it through a 1x15" 15W tube combo amp and it sounds killer! No buyer's remorse on this one...

Some more info from the Jaguar Baritone Custom Wiki:
The Jaguar Baritone Custom is a Crafted-In-Japan (CIJ) model, and is almost identical to the Japanese-market "Fender Jaguar Bottom Master", though the Bottom Master has different switching options due to different internal wiring (including a "fuzz switch"). In 2006, Fender USA changed the name of the instrument to "Jaguar Bass VI Custom" in order to tie it more closely with its Bass VI heritage, and also probably to differentiate it more from the modern baritone guitar, which is usually tuned B-B (in between the tunings of a standard guitar and a bass).
