are there some ways to fix the problems associated with the jaguar's bridge without
1. changing it to a mustang/mastery bridge
2. installing a buzzstop

it would be much more convenient for me if i could make the bridge perfect 100% problem free without having to order parts.

What do you call a "buzz stop " ?

A buzzstop is this

The Jag bridge is not perfect - actually, some consider it to be the worst bridge in Fenders... but nevertheless, it's been in good use in many skilled hands through the years just as it is.

The easiest way to make it good is to install a buzzstop and to change the saddles to Mustang version, like this "Saddle kit for Mustang"

If you don't want to do that, enjoy what you got. A proper setup goes a long way...
Thicker strings and/or a little extra string height help if the strings jump to a wrong groove. A little piece of tape between saddlepieces helps if they buzz against each other.

I've installed a buzzstop on my Jazzmaster and Jaguar and the problems are solved at a reasonable price.
