  1. From the pics it certainly looks identical to the 1990 japanese '62 reissue Precision I used to own. I can't see the strap buttons clearly, but it looks like they might have been swapped out for staplock buttons. I recall there was also a 'hootenanny' strap button on the back of the headstock. It also looks like someone took a dislike to the finish on the back of the neck on yours for some reason.

  3. Why Does It Hurt When I Pee — Frank Zappa
  4. Get Down — Curtis Mayfield
  5. I'm a big fan of my H2n, and use it to record every rehearsal and gig. I will probably wait for the next iteration of the h2 before thinking of upgrading, but the 32 bit float, usb-c, and bluetooth control look like worthwhile updates.
  6. I'm surprised that these have popped up at QatarCatarrh. I thought EastCoast was a house brand exclusive to Andertons.

  8. If I Had A Stammer — Trini Lopez
  9. I have a blueburst one of these, its a great bass that I'd be using a lot more were it not for my three JMJ Mustangs. There's no need to replace the tuners — I use LaBella's danelectro-specific set of flatwounds and they are perfect. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/la-bella-760-fd-dan-electro-stainless-flats/

  14. I had some lovely Strawberry Conserve from Lidl on a Croissant this morning.
  15. Baby, Don't You Tear My Clothes — Little Richard
  16. I upgraded my main board to a spaceship power 50C which has the power pack built in and is powered via a kettle style power lead. I really like it and don't think there's anything similar on the market that touches it for the cost.
  17. I've used their guitar strings in custom guages when I had a tenor guitar and tenor banjo which I set up in chicago tuning. I'd only be able to try their bass strings if they ever made stainless steel flats in short & medium scale though.
  18. Speak To Me — Pink Floyd
  19. Around My Neck — Finneas
  20. Firebirds — Clutch
  21. The Train Runs Over The Camel But It Is Derailed By The Gnat — The Flaming Lips
  22. No Spitting On The Bus — Steve Gibbons Band
  23. I don’t think that’ll help as I specifically wanted to fit the hipshot lollipop tuners. The wilkinsons currently fitted are as good a second choice as anything else.
  24. My competition orange squier classic vibe mustang is a lovely bass. It had some non-original crappy tuners on it when I bought it so I put on a set of nickel wilkinson tuners from a vintage pro thunderbird (after fitting gotoh GB640 res-o-lites to the thunderbird) which are the same design & footprint as the original squier tuners would have been, but of slightly heavier construction. The previous owner had also put in a pickup from a vintera mustang and I made a new loom with cts pots, switchcraft socket etc, and fitted a thumbrest. The wilkinsons work really well but I really like the hipshot lollipops on my JMJs so I have been keeping an eye out for some, and managed to get my hands on a set today. I took off the wilkinsons and replaced the ferrules, but when I laid out the hipshots on the headstock, the plates overlap by about 1mm or so. I don't want to bodge it by filing the tuner plates, so I guess I'll have to learn to love the wilkinsons.
  25. If Fender issued the JMJ Mustang in another colour, such as shell pink, it is practically guaranteed that I won't be able to resist ordering one.
