Are you thinking that the Jaguar bass was around in the 60's or 70's?

It was not. There were Jazz basses , Precisions and Telecaster basses as the long scale models and Mustang and Musicmaster basses for short scale players.

The Jag bass is a recent invention. It came out in 2004 or so, I don't really know the exact year.
I think it is a really cool bass, though, and I wish I had one.

Oh, OK, I thought they were around from the start like the Jag guitars.

The original Jaguar guitars were thought of as surf guitars backin the 60's -70s.
Now, they are just cool for any band but you have to like the shorter scale and the vibrato system.

The Jaguar bass would've blown players away 30 years ago, but I don't think its active circuitry was affordable or maybe not possible back then.
