  1. Another Saturday Night — The Drifters
  2. Would this one break the budget? https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1966-fender-precision-candy-apple-red
  3. If you can post a video on youtube demonstrating what you have experienced with the envelope filter, and start a topic on the effects forum here, it should be easier for someone to comment on whether it is likely to be a fault. I think there might be a few people with that pedal on here. In response you your enquiry about sending items to Greece, I probably wouldn't want the hassle if I was selling any gear.
  4. Troglodyte — The Jimmy Castor Bunch
  5. It might be worthwhile putting an apple airtag (or similar device) in the gigbag/case. Alternatively if you've not fully shielded the bass's control cavity with slug tape an airtag might also work in there.
  6. Careless Wispa — George Michael
  7. Bert's (Big) Apple Crumble — The Quik
  8. Missouri Is The River Of The World — Tom Waits
  9. Virginia Plain — Roxy Music
  10. Biff Bang Pow — The Creation
  11. Mona Lisa — Nat King Cole
  12. A strat case will be too small. Some jazzmaster cases might fit as they are longer than strats, but you'd need to check on a case by case basis (no pun intended). I was going to post that Fender make a mustang-specific tolexed hard case for about £150ish as I have two of them sitting next to me at the moment, however I cannot find them listed anywhere including on fender.com so it looks like they might have been discontinued. Both of mine were bought secondhand so they do crop up from time to time. It seems like a really weird decision by Fender if they have discontinued them, just like how the Mustang GTX50 & 100 guitar amps are current models but the only expression pedal that works with them, the EXP-1, has been discontinued. (I also bought two of these secondhand for my amp & my son's.)
  13. Photobooth — Death Cab For Cutie
  14. Drugs — Talking Heads
  15. Pain and Pleasure — The Residents
  16. Seconds — Gladys Knight & The Pips
  17. Off the top of my head these are the ones I can remember: JMJ, Vintera & Classic Vibe Mustangs: Medium Scale D'addario Chromes Player Mustang: Short Scale Chromes Guild Starfire: Medium scale flatwound status hotwires (I'd probably also have these on my mustangs if they were still available) Epiphone Vintage Pro & Gibson Non-Reverse Thunderbirds: Ernie Ball 2815 Cobalt Flats Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale Jaguar: EB short scale cobalt flats Fretted & Fretless Precisions: Thomastic flats Danelectro longhorn: LaBella danelectro short scale deep talkin' flats Squier Bass VI: LaBella bass VI deep talkin' flats Kala U-bass: Gallo flatwound with synthetic core I'm happy with all of these after having tried various different sets on different basses.
  18. Best Dressed Chicken In Town — Dr Alimantado
  19. Too Drunk To #### — Dead Kennedys
  20. Chelsea (Bun) Morning — Joni Mitchell
  21. It Croissant Me — Shaggy
  22. I'd love one of these it'd be just the thing for belting out Mustang Sally down the Dog & Duck.
  23. Fast Car — Tracy Chapman
  24. This does sound like a setup issue — I have owned a couple of vintera mustangs and once set up they had no issues like this. Dead spots are annoying but i’ve only seen them localised to a single fret of a particular string, never a bunch of adjacent frets, and I’ve never had one on a mustang bass. If there is a friendly basschatter near you who is particularly experienced with bass setups it could be worth having them take a closer look to investigate the problem. Where are you located?
