The big issue with a lot of the cheap jazzmasters (including BTs) is often the stock bridge. Those are usually needing a swap to keep the strings from popping out of the saddle. I did it myself on mine, but I'm by no means a professional so my guitar still needs a serious professional set-up.
I just was playing for a while today and it felt really good. Haven't just let loose and jammed out some Dinosaur Jr and ripped on my nastier fuzz sounds. That said my jazzy needs a real set up.
Apparently the old Jazzmaster strings popped out of the bridge like that. It's interesting finding out that some of the Squier guitars are more accurate to the vintage versions of some guitars than the American Standards. Even a Squier Tele has the original bridge design that the Mexican and American standards don't use
So does anybody know Hydrolic?

Yeah, the Jag/JM bridges were designed for thicker (12s or so) flat-wounds, and not many people use them nowadays, so most modern Jag and JMs use other bridge designs. But the Squier ones are meant to be vintage-correct, just cheaper parts and labour, so they still use that bridge.
Also, I'm going to have shit-tons of work and stuff from Tuesday onwards, so my posting will probably get pretty few and far between.

So, what you're saying is that I make my time count by participating in rape while Sam watches? Dude, that's sick.
Sick is my kinda past time.
Just got back from that wedding I mentioned a while ago. It was pretty awful as a wedding but it was okay 'cuz I was just with my brother, sister-in-law and uncle the whole time. I practically got molested by the creepy groom though. He just came up and started massaging my shoulders for like a full minute when I was talking to someone. But it wasn't like a massage he was just eerily rubbing and squeezing me.
He also has this thing where he kisses like every female he comes in contact with. He was doing it to all of them as we were leaving the pews and the girl (a little younger than me) like ran away from him when he got close. I could see the disappointment in his eyes, it was classic

I'll try it. Hopefully, it will let me install it even though it won't actually boot the iPod correctly.
Edit:
lol, that won't work actually.
