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

    The Sex Pistols to disco

    As a recent Mustang convert I approve.

    Nice one Steve

    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.
  8. 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.

    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.

    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.
  12. 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.

    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.

    Tinker, tinker, and tinker again with the heights until satisfied. When I take a new bass to rehearsals I also take a screwdriver and adjust inbetween songs. On my Precisions I have the bridge saddles to match the radius of the neck, my pickup heights from the scratchplate are approximately: E - 1.5mm A - 6mm D - 8mm G - 5mm This I’ve found is a good starting point for my playing style and I tweak from there.
  16. Lozz196
    Yep, compression at home when learning new material is great for me but in a band mix I prefer without. Nice thought out selection of pedals though, do like the TC Spark for natural sounding warmth & a tad of drive.

    It’s around the 8lb mark which was a bit disappointing given I’ve read of some slightly less than 7lbs, but it just overall feels lighter.
  18. Lozz196
    Great, thanks for the tip, nice to know that 34” scale will fit as my fave Elixirs only come in standard scale (which given the growing popularity of short scale basses seems remarkably short sighted imo). Be great to get it sounding more Precisiony.
  19. Lozz196
    Could be a couple of things, some bands acknowledge that if they don’t rehearse regularly they’re not as tight as they could be, whereas to some it makes no difference. Other bands like to rehearse regularly as it’s part of their social lives. I used to want to rehearse regularly but nowadays I’m happy with just for new material or if there’s been a gap between gigs, I don’t think I’d want to be in a weekly rehearsing band anymore. It’s worth holding out for what’s important to you unless there’s no chance of that happening.

    Relic, it’s the Road Worn JMJ Sig Mustang. I’m not that fussed re fake relicing either way but this has been done quite nicely. I just needed a smaller/lighter bass but also wanted Precision width neck and many of the Mustangs have Jazz width.
  21. Lozz196
    Count me in on short scale appreciation, a rather nice Fender JMJ Mustang now chez Lozz.
  22. Lozz196
    So due to my back getting worse I decided that lighter short scale basses might be the way forwards so when I saw one of these available thought I’d go for it, having played one briefly before and rather liking it. I was wary of resenting it due to having to give up my beloved Precisions however I’ve just put in about an hour on it and I really like it. I’m even getting on with the D’Addario Chromes it’s wearing, they seem to really suit it (could never really get on with flats on my Precisions). It’s not that much lighter than my lightest Precision but it really feels like it is, maybe it’s the overall balance or maybe the playing position is just better for me. I think I’ve made a good decision here.
  23. Lozz196
    I tend to be pretty much the same so I`m confident I`ll end up sounding roughly the same as I always do.
  24. Lozz196
    Worth checking out the Player range, very nice basses.
  25. Lozz196
    Thanks for the encouraging words chaps, it really is appreciated. I’ve also got a Barefaced Big Baby II on the way, apparently it’s good for guitar as well so here’s hoping for a real one cab does all solution.
