    There’s a used V2 Duff at Classic And Cool Guitars for £1150

    I keep looking at that black 1100s. My first “proper” bass was a 1987 1100s so more than a bit of nostalgia leading me.

    Sounds like a Friday afternoon instrument to me. I’ve got 3 Mexican made JMJ Mustang basses and all 3 are superb quality.

    The highest tension strings - roundwounds - I’ve used are Rotosounds, Warwick Red Label and Fender. Many moons ago back in the late 80s I was in a band that detuned to D and used Roto 50-110s.

    I use Elixirs, I only play with a plectrum and have never suffered any fraying or flaking. The set I’ve had on my JMJ have been on since April and still have plenty of zing to them.

    I`ve done this and didn`t really notice much difference other than easier to hear it of course. But my sound at the time was quite trebly/aggressive so I wasn`t focusing on the low end and any lack of this.

    I just watched a very good review of this by our very own @Dood, and yes fortunately adding drive or blend doesn’t add volume.
  8. Lozz196
    Sounds really nice, what strings are you using, the whole bass sound just fits in the mix really well.
  9. Lozz196
    Yes bizarrely the Shape function, which scoops the mids is engaged when in the Out position.
  10. Lozz196
    Re this Paul, does the volume increase when the Drive level or Blend level is increased?
  11. Lozz196
    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.
  13. Lozz196
    Having used one the other night I’d add in the Peavey MiniMax, has a very warm rounded sound in the mix.
  14. Lozz196
    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.
  15. Lozz196
    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.
  16. Lozz196
    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.
  18. Lozz196
    Yes that’s correct Mike, JMJ is the Precision width neck
  19. 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.
  20. Lozz196
    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.
  21. Lozz196
    This is spot on imo
  22. Lozz196
    Yup it’s funny but sometimes a certain brand or gauge of strings can really bring a bass to life.
  23. Lozz196
    Same here
  24. 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.
  25. Lozz196
    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.
