    @ped these look amazing! Fender and Squier should take a page from your book for some future Paranormal Series Mustang models 🤘

    WOW! That is such a lovely collection. Amazing presentation too!

    Thanks @jimbobothy! That's my assumption too, that it will be a good sound for FOH to deal with. If you do manage to get a Alma Comp onto your board, let me know how that goes. That double comp combo should really tighten things up nicely 🤘

    Hi there! I have used the UAD 6176 plugin for a while, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Pretty decent direct bass sound, with simple EQ and an industry-standard compressor to round things up. I have used the real 1176 in the studio many times for different things over the years, and also managed to use a UA 610 in a few sessions for some vocals. So I do like what they do in the "real" World 😄. I own both the Warm Audio Pedal76 and the Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass and whilst they both share the same DNA, the Warm Audio is a bit more aggressive when compared to the Origin, which sounds to me a bit more polished. Great options to have depending on the rig and music played. I wanted to see if anyone has played with the idea of pairing the Origin Effects DCX into a Pedal76 or a Cali76 Compact, and if so... what were your thoughts? I am yet to try the DCX, only a couple of demos got me excited about the pedal... but seeing that it is based on the UA 610 and that the UAD 6176 plugin is currently working for me, I wanted to see if I could successfully recreate a portable and gig-ready/friendly version. Thanks for your time! 🤘

    Oh wow, a Mustang in Antigua finish... definetly didn't see that one coming 😅 I actually think it looks pretty cool tbh!

    I saw this Atelier Z Baby Z over on Talkbass, when doing some research before @DanDoesBass claimed his bounty 😄 This is the one that stays in my head @Ritsugamesh

    Bass looks amazing! Funny enough I have a very similar blacked out Highway One P-Bass with gold hardware and a MIJ Jaguar neck with amber'ish block inlays. Such a cool colour combo that black and gold with a dark rosewood board 🤘🔥 GLWTS!!!

    Such an amazing looking Mustang you got there @BassAgent 🤘🔥 Fender were aiming for this colour with their latest Vintera II 70's in Burgundy, but nothing beats a real colour, fading naturally over decades.

    The red Mustang... 🔥🔥🔥 What pups have you got there? Looks like a Thunderbird-style and a really beefy single coil, has a Burns vibe to it that fits so well!

    Very interested in this too. The Nordstrand is a great upgrade for the Japanese pup, especially if you want more definition. The JMJ has a custom Mustang pup, wasn't this done by Seymour Duncan? It's a very P-bassy sounding pup, a bit more body than the Mustang. As far as I am aware. @DanDoesBass tell us more! 😊

    These are my two Japanese 🇯🇵 Fender Mustangs. After trying many US, MX and Squier Mustangs over the years, I always keep coming back to the Japanese models due to their slimmer necks. The one of the left is a Fiesta Red with an upgraded Nordstrand pickup and rocking a set of Rotosound flats. I am still getting used to these flats, they have a lower tension than the LaBella's on my other Mustang. I do like the Nordstrand pup, seems to open the sound a bit more and has a lovely midrange to it. I can do more chordal work on this bass and it seems to love modulation and time-based effects due to the added clarity. The one on the right is my go-to bass for the past several years. Candy Apple Red with an upgraded @KiOgon loom, as the original one was crapping out on me during sessions, a set of LaBella Mustang strings, and a set of roadworn J-Bass controls (large for vol, and small for tone) which I think look way better ☺️ This one is all low-mids, big round notes, pretty decent sustain too. Loves drives and fuzzes due to having a little less top-end. As far as I understand, Japanese Mustangs have an early 60's neck profile and the rest (US, MX, Squier) have a late 60's/70's neck profile. If anyone knows better, please shed some light. But this is something I have come to experience with Mustangs and agreed upon with other Mustang players in the past.

    So it was you! LOL 😄, I was about to pull the trigger on this and it showed as SOLD. Massive Mustang fan here and short scale basses in general, this Atelier looks killer. You can't beat those competition stripes (go faster!). Enjoy! 🤘

    The Beta is an amazing pedal, it does that Ampeg B-15 saturated thing very well and it gives you a slight low end bump, which I always found perfect for fingerstyle. If I am not mistaken, this is the 2nd colour scheme of the 1st version of the Beta. The original run had orange lettering and graphics, and the subsequent run had this dark gray/black finish. I own this 2nd colour scheme. Then SolidGold FX issued the DLX version, with a lot of features and a switchable boost. And then, the 3rd iteration came out, the MKII, where you could defeat the preamp with a top-mounted toggle, which bypassed the gain. Same pedal essentially with the added feature. They also made high-gain, germanium, LM308... versions of the Beta too. The current version you can buy off the shelf is the Beta V. GLWTS! It's a really cool pedal.

    Also interested in the Warwick if you decide to split the sale

    Hey @krispn, I bought a couple of these LBA 2020s a while back to do something similar, but still haven't had a chance to build a new pedalboard (sadly no gigs atm, only a few remote sessions). How do these x2 LBA 2020s sound, and is it noticeable enough? Cheers!
