    I always hated playing Born to be Wild yet audiences loved it.

    Ouch. As much as I like Ampeg gear it would need to halve in price before I try one.

    In 1987 I bought my first “real” bass, a Yamaha BB1100s, was £400. Fender Precisions were about £325 (and out of stock hence the Yammy purchase). Now at that time a pint of beer was about 70p so a Precision was equal to approximately 460 pints. Nowadays a pint is around a fiver and a Precision is about £1700, so approximately 340 pints.

    I’ve bought some from iknmusical on EBay and they’ve fitted perfectly. Not sure where they’re based though.

    Yeah I’d say Rotosound or Fender (if Fender do short scale flats that is)

    Mono cases are great

    Re used gear, well the prices always tended to be based around what an item would cost new. In 2015 I got a new US Precision for £900, at the time used ones were £500 to £600. A new Precision now is around £1800 so it’s unlikely that the second hand won’t also come up in price.

    Exactly, two major incidents, one of which affected pretty much the whole world, the other affecting a large chunk of it.

    Elixir steel rounds now fitted to the JMJ, I love this bass.
  10. Lozz196
    Well I’ve just swapped over the Chromes that came on it for a set of my fave Elixir steel rounds - regular scale do fit fine - and wow, just amazing. I love this bass more and more every time I play it.

    Tuesday isn’t gonna come round quick enough. Nice looking bass, congrats.

    As a recent Mustang convert I approve.

    Nice one Steve
  16. Lozz196
    Wow, showroom condition!

    I reckon you’re spot on @ezbass, I can play my JMJ with Chromes nicely enough but I know I’ll feel more at home with my fave Elixir steel rounds, and am confident that my playing will sound better as a result.

    I think the term for this is pushing the beat. I’m the opposite, my natural style is slightly behind the beat though when recording I try to push it as it gives a bit more urgency & snap to the track.
  19. Lozz196
    I think that’s one of the main things on the JMJ, the neck just feels like I’m at home. The quality of the JMJ is pretty much the same as my US Precisions.

    It didn`t come with the black guard but very unusually for myself I actually like the white pearloid one on there.
  21. Lozz196
    I`ve tried with flats over the years on my Precisions and just never really "got" them, however my new JMJ Mustang has Chromes on it and I`m quite enjoying them. I`m fairly sure I will still swap over to rounds though.
  22. Lozz196
    They look good. I’ve a shed load of gear to move on and knowing there’s a reliable courier that specialises in instruments is very helpful.
  23. Lozz196
    Thanks Clarky, it came with Chromes on it which I’m quite enjoying but I know I’m gonna have to scratch the roundwound itch at some point.
  24. Lozz196
    Just tried my JMJ Mustang in my Mono Dual Guitar M80, fitted fine.

    I’ve just bought a JMJ Mustang, and same here, bought because it fits my needs and it’s a great instrument. Although I know of some of the bands/artists he’s worked with I’m not familiar with their material so his name/ the bass being an sig model had no bearing on my purchase.
