Tim Chapple

Gretsch totally trounces the jag, but make sure to avoid the single pickup Jet.

Bit of a potted history of bands and projects and the recordings I have salvaged over the years

Hi Stephen, can you tell me what gauge strings are on my Indian SWB1?

Yeah - My thoughts too - I'd like a second Mustang to keep roundwounds on, but I'm unsure that the JMJ is a better option. It's undeniably pretty, but at a price. I'm thinking I'll wait until the second hand ones hit the market......

Anyone here on Basschat tried both? - I'm down in Cornwall and a trip to a dealer is a bit of an expedition.

Done.

Justin Meldal Johnsen signature model ( road worn/ made in Mexico).

Thanks for the feedback - I really love my MIJ Mustang, its my main bass - I'm wondering if the JMJ will add anything to what the MIJ already does (apart from maybe looking prettier).

Welcome to the Dark Side.

So now the dust has settled a little on the release of the new JMJ... Who has played both the JMJ AND the MIJ Mustangs - I'm keen to know how they compare soundwise...... Love my MIJ Mustang, am I going to get anything different soundwise from the JMJ?

I'm going to try Rotosound (my default). To know them is to love them

I've just put a set of strings on that were the original stock strings on my MIM Mustang PJ - not sure if they are Fender or De'addario? - they don't really fit properly, but it will at least give me an idea of what I can achieve tonally - I'm already now using both pickups, with tone full up, and now using the neck pickup to add depth.

I recently bought a beautiful used 2014 Anniversary model SG Bass, with an upgraded hipshot bridge. This is the first Gibson short scale I've used - I also have an MIJ Mustang, a Danelectro Longhorn, and a Chowny SWB-1. They all have very different sounds (obviously) - the Mustang has flats and is great for blues, the other two sit well in larger combos, where things get a bit heavier and freakier . I'm currently looking the make the Gibson more adaptable - it is currently set with Chromes flatwounds, and I find I'm using the bridge pickup more to give it some edge. I could of course keep the Gibson for small combo blues work, but I'd like to use it across the board.... Any recommendations for roundwound strings before I go to my default set of Rotosounds?

Nice one Iain.

Just received a beautiful 2014 Gibson SG Bass from Iain - Could not have wished for a smoother transaction - lots of updates and information along the way. This was my first purchase here on basschat, so I was a little trepidatious about the process - However Iain's feedback here was very good, so I took the plunge. Fantastic Seller and what a bloody bass! Thank you and best wishes from Cornwall.
