    Yes bizarrely the Shape function, which scoops the mids is engaged when in the Out position.

    Re this Paul, does the volume increase when the Drive level or Blend level is increased?

    There’s not much in them to be honest, JMJ has P-width neck, Squier J-width. JMJ sounds beefier but when you look at specs the pots in the Squier are 500s v the 250s of the JMJ, so a KiOgon loom sorts that (as does turning the tone control down to about 75%). Both similar weight, both have a nice gloss neck. Tuners on JMJ are Hipshots, just regular on Squier but they hold tuning fine.

    The Green Day one would be the one I’d choose if I were doing this.

    Having used one the other night I’d add in the Peavey MiniMax, has a very warm rounded sound in the mix.

    I’ve not had the II Pro version but the I Pro and the US Standards before them allow for a very good low action and the setup/hardware is exactly the same. As such I reckon the posts above about a lot of relief in the neck are spot on, chances are the owner doesn’t know how to set up the bass (I was just like that many moons ago with similar action) providing the truss rod works ok once the neck is adjusted I’d expect those saddles to be raised a bit, I’ve never had mine all the way down like that on numerous basses with the same setup/hardware.

    It depends, in my last band when I used to tour I’d take 2 US Precisions but for regular gigging it would be a US to gig and Mex as a backup. Now in my current band I’ll be taking 2 Squier Mustangs and gigging whichever is the same colour as the guitarist is using.

    And probably heard it too…..

    I’m glad Last Christmas is No 1, I think it’s a great song. I don’t think it’s indicative of anything, I remember in 1986 the Xmas No 1 was Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson, originally released in 1958.

    Yes that’s correct Mike, JMJ is the Precision width neck
  11. Lozz196
    The Japanese ones have J width necks. As do the Squier Classic Vibe 60s, which are very nice basses (I have a couple of these for gigging). Unless it’s gone our very own @FinnDave is selling one on here.

    Very near. As some on here may know I’m Precision mad, but had to make the change to short scale this year due to back issues and I’ve not been disappointed in any way with the sound of the Mustangs.
  13. Lozz196
    This is spot on imo
  14. Lozz196
    Yup it’s funny but sometimes a certain brand or gauge of strings can really bring a bass to life.
  15. Lozz196
    Same here
  16. Lozz196
    I wouldn’t have been that bothered about the fretboard scratch but the ding on the back of the neck, no, not on a brand new bass, that would go back.

    I had two V2 Tech21 Para Drivers, one I just preferred, it seemed to be more alive and have more sparkle to the sound than the other one so I used that one for live work and the other for home use. Similarly with my Ashdown ABM600s, had two, both great but the first one just seemed to have more about it but I couldn’t say exactly what it was.

    Happening too often nowadays
  19. Lozz196
    I love it, bit pricey but think it looks great
  20. Lozz196
    Congrats, I kept on looking at this one and wondered if it would end up owned by a Basschatter (other than myself, I showed amazing levels of restraint for once).
  21. Lozz196
    Reviving an old thread, I’ve just got in from rehearsal where I used one of these and I really liked it, had a really nice solid sound to it that was great for the classic rock that we do.
  22. Lozz196
    Yep, good call, Eden cabs are very nice.
  23. Lozz196
    Adjustable tweeter screams bass cab to me
  24. Lozz196
    Looks really nice

    Same here, in my youth I tried to make it, did a UK tour and swiftly realised it was my hobby and what I did for enjoyment, didn`t want to make it my day job so quit that band and took a few years off playing. No idea if I would have ever made it (tho given percentages probably not) but I`m convinced I made the right decision as music has similarly been my escape and since quitting the booze my main source of enjoyment.
