- Here's my version - I intentionally didn't listen to The Shadows version before I recorded this. I wasn't interested in copying it note for note.
I recorded the tune in Garageband playing a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster. For the video, I used a Canon Vixia R800 camera, a Neewer dimmable bi-color light, and edited it in Final Cut X.
Here's the backing track:

Love my J Mascis Jazzmaster. So much quality for so little.
Absolutely. I haven't played another guitar in this price range that's as good.
Very nice playing and tone. Surf music rules.
Thanks Fred. Surf music is the best!
I started playing the stuff around 1963 when Fender products were still new and affordable. Actually, my first instrumentals were Dwayne Eddy stuff, before Dick Dale's Miserlou. .
I listened to The Beach Boys back then but not anything instrumental. Not sure I even knew who Duane Eddy or Dick Dale were!
"Surf music rules"...been playing it now for a few years . . .dating myself as I used to surf back in the '60s. Got back into serious guitar playing again four years ago and got my guitar instructor "hooked" on surf music...he is now STOKED
No other J Mascis jazzmaster review will ever match this in my humble opinion and playing Apache ohhh my makes the hairs stand goose bumps as well for those old enough to remember what those were this model jazzmaster does this and more then n the right hands and you have just witnessed those very hands I salute your magical work wow so beautiful ..........
Thank you! I still have this guitar - it's the best guitar I've ever owned in this price range.
@@anotherheadlessdemo David please go watch this video with the jazzdoctor pickups czcams.com/video/INo_qc4tIPU/video.html

I gig with mine all the time. Have fun with it!
u wont be diappointed very hot pickups
Tsss que buena rola, amigo. Buen cover.
One of the best songs ever!
Thank you!
That is Fantabulous
Thanks, Marty!
Excellent David! Thanks for sharing this with us all. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠👌
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tone! You nailed it!
Great old school song my friend
Beautiful tone and playing!
Thanks, Howard!
Awesome David
Thanks, Steve!
Was this song made for this guitar or was this guitar made for this song?
Good question. The original version was recorded by a British guitarist named Bert Weedon and later recorded by The Shadows (who had the huge hit). My guess is that Jerry Lordan, the composer, had guitar in mind when he wrote it in 1960.
Hank Marvin (Shadows) played a Stratocaster. I like my Jaguar. But you can't go wrong with the Jazzmaster also.
Yes, he did. Here's my attempt at sounding like Hank: czcams.com/video/iWj-s7j6wWY/video.html
@@Edward-MTBKR what do like about the Jag? its pretty close to ajazzmaster jazzmaster more melow
@@anotherheadlessdemo you for got jorden ingman ythis is when i first heard it
Sounds amazing.
Thanks!
A fine rendition of Apache. Refreshing to hear someone play this song without trying to sound like Marvin.
I don't have a Jazzmaster, but a Fender Jaguar. However, I play Shadows music on either this Jaguar or on the Six Bass and even on a Les Paul and a Steinberger headless guitar. I never cared for *that* sound. It has always been my goal to play any music the way I like it. But again, a fine rendition!
Thank you!
Well done. Nice tone!
Thanks much!
great video dude
Thanks!
Great!
vey cool!
Just bought a Squire J Mascis Jazzmaster today. Can’t wait to play some surf rock on it when it gets here.
Has your guitar arrived yet? What do you think of it?
@@anotherheadlessdemo sorry to take this long to reply. I absolutely love this guitar. Sounds great, neck is super comfortable, looks killer with the anodized gold pick guard.
very good, very nice
Thank you , glad you liked it!
Fantastic! I’m a long time fan of the Venture’s and appreciated that they stayed true to the spirit of an original song, and not bastardize it. Got a ‘62 reissue of the Fender Jazzmaster too. Marvelous!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
great guitar first one Mij Made in Japan good orginal cosmetics
your jazzmster is it MIJ or a 62 Fender orginal?
Ventures fan here too but they didn't stay true to the original song AT ALL, they did it in disco style.
Nothing wrong with that just saying - though I think they missed the point of the sing turning it into disco style.
This man here stays true to the original.
Nothing beats the Shadows and the original in their field.
Cheers
Well done my good man
Thank you very much!
played through champ 100 watt damn amp is hard wish i had old my 65 reissue twin reverb
All the 65 Reissues are really good. I had a DRRI for a while; kinda wish I still had it!
Very nice... I love my J Mascis Jazzmaster... Wonderful Guitar...
Thanks Frank! I agree. Great guitar, especially for the money.
Just bought a used J mascis JM what an amazing guitar and for the money, it's off the charts Good.
XOXO!!
:)
Hows the tuning stability? With and without use of the trem bar?
It's pretty good - not to say it never goes out of tune of course. I gigged with it over the weekend and it did really well. One thing I have noticed is when I put the guitar down, and then pick it up again, I need to retune 2 or 3 strings. Not sure why. My Telecaster doesn't do that.
Nice one! Did you record the guitar DI and if so what interface? Or did you mic an amp?
Yes, it was DI: Guitar > Joyo American Sound pedal > Art USB Dual Pre > Garageband.
Thanks!! @@anotherheadlessdemo
I have doubts if I buy the squier vibe jazzmaster or the jsquier vibe jaguar, my main guitar is a squier telecaster affinity and I like to play beatles, the police, the smiths, the cure and surf rock, which guitar would you recommend of both?
I've never owned a Jaguar, so I can't really say much about those. I have two Jazzmasters; the Squier J Mascis and the Classic Vibe. The CV sounds more authentic but the JM has a better build quality. Here's my review of both:
czcams.com/video/X0AeEHFBO8k/video.html
Hey, nice playing! I need help with my squier cv 60s jazzmaster. How do you set up yours? How do you deal with tremolo detuning? Do you wrap bridge poles with tape? DO you lubricate ALL string friction points? Any advices, please?
The J Mascis has a Gibson style bridge (very solid). I do have a CV as well and I'm trying figure out how to make it more stable. I have been lubricating the nut (which helps), but I haven't taped the bridge (yet). I hate the bridge, even with the Mustang saddles.
The same sound. The master did the job.
Thanks!
@@anotherheadlessdemo
I liked your playing of this guitar so much that
the new acquisition of PRS guitar evokes feelings of jealousy and loss.
Dave I'm looking for two thumbs here but can't find it 😁
I added another for ya
Only 65 Comments Come on y'all this man needs more than 65 Comments 5000 Comments more better . Troy Frost troyster 😎Cool Riffs
Such a great tone!
Personally I prefer the Classic Vibe tone when I play surf. I think is more ''vintage''
The CV definitely sounds more like a classic Jazzmaster. The neck on the JM has a great feel though.
Here's my comparison: czcams.com/video/X0AeEHFBO8k/video.html
Great sound and playin. Thanks for sharing. I have a J Mascis on order. Is your stock in this video? Thanks!
Yes, totally stock - still is too!
@@anotherheadlessdemo Sounds amazing! Cant wait to get mine haha 👍
Any effects on there to sound surfy?
@@Rainy78 Sounds like there is some echo in addition to the reverb. Maybe some compression. But I am no expert.
Excelente! Esto es con el Joyo y el pedal de Reverb? WOW
Thank you! I did use the Joyo American Sound pedal. For reverb I used a Garageband plugin. :)
@@anotherheadlessdemo congratulaciones!👍🏻
Great! Def a good idea not to listen to the Shadows version and just do your own thing with it! Wow the that Squiere has a beautiful tone... although the thruth be said, the tone is in the fingers and mind of the artist! Do you think it's worth paying double the price to buy the Fender Jazz Master? Thanks :)
I've never owned or even played a Fender Jazzmaster, so it's hard to say if it's worth the extra money. I do know that J Mascis has used the Squier version on tour, along with his vintage Jazzmasters. That says a lot I think.
@@anotherheadlessdemo Yep that says a lot! I've had a Gibson Less Paul for nearly 30 years now and have always played LP style guitars with humbuckers... but think it's time for a single coil Fender change! Obvioulsly the original Fender version is build with finer woods and one would suppose that it has a general higher quality build... but i'm well impressed with this Squiere JaszzMaster... I think it's the top of the range of the SQ's and comes with the Fender JM pickups... anyway, great tone... thanks and happy surf playing! :)
@@anotherheadlessdemo I am not a full-fledged expert, but as I heard this sounding on the disc exactly during these years on the tube equipment - that hit the top ten.
very nice.
How's that guitar compare to an American Professional? (I'm in the market)
I've never played an American Professional or any Fender (not Squire) Jazzmaster. I'd love to see a comparison though. The build quality (neck, body, paint, frets) is on a par with many Fender guitars. The pots and wiring, switches etc, probably not so much.
@@anotherheadlessdemo After I posted my comment, CZcams read my mind and offered up this link . czcams.com/video/pA0MJcSbAaI/video.html
I'll check that out. Thanks for posting the link.
Dave have you ever played Walk Dont Run by the Ventures learned it long time id play rhrthm my brother would play lead guitar we did a New year performance a few years agohe and i played Fender Mustangs through 74 deluxe reverb he had one also
Funny you should ask. I started a video playing Walk Don't Run a while back, but never finished. I keep thinking I should go back and complete that. I also have a Fender Mustang partscaster that I was going to use. Your Mustang through that Deluxe Reverb must have sounded glorious!
@@anotherheadlessdemo yes it sounded great still have one deluxe in the family itsatbmynephews house im going to install new filters in it when i getover there myDR is gone my twin gone sure wish imhad them back but thats life
@@anotherheadlessdemo very sweet and penetrating very bluesy
Dave what are you using for amplification?
A Joyo American Sound pedal. It's like having a Deluxe Reverb in a box. :)
Daveyoursoooooooooooooooooogood yu could of played with the Ventures or ShDOWS
Thank you!
I'm digging this , David, but one thing's missing, that sound. C'mon, you know what it is, I can't spell it.
On the whole, Jorgen Ingman's version is the essential one, and I'm not selling you short.
I've been in a couple of bands that slavishly attempted to copy tunes just like the record. I always found it frustrating because I've always wanted to do my own interpretation, for better or worse. :)
@@anotherheadlessdemo Please know that I wasn't criticizing the song or the playing. It's just with "Apache" Ingman had that little thing
he did with the strings (like an arrow being fired?) that I always wait to hear. Just one of those crazy little things.
@@mitchgawlik1175 Yes! I think The Ventures and The Shadows may have done that as well. Oddly enough, I do that by accident about 33 seconds in. :)
yes your right but DaveU does a great job
like #666 muahahahaha
When are people going to really listen? The Jazzmaster and Jaguar sound to tooo tinny compared to a Stratocaster!!!
lol no
I'm glad I have both. :)
Great !
