    The way that certain strings work on certain basses and some don't is somewhat of a mystery to me. On my Fender Mustang I have tried Fender short scale 95-40(only gauge Fender do then in) Daddario and Ernie Ball short scale strings both in a more standard gauge (105-45 or 105-50, I can't remember) all of which have not quite sounded right. Of the short scale sets the Fender set sounded the least meh so I ordered a 105-45 set of long scale Fender strings with the intention of cutting them down to fit, I put them on and all of a sudden that bass came to life, Strange how that works

    I'm going to have to respectfully agree to disagree on this. To me the description when I looked up the programme seemed quite clear on what to expect which is why I decided to watch it, the description when I looked out up was as follows: Three bassists deconstruct the basslines that defined their careers, beginning with Joy Division and New Order founder member Peter Hook

    Hooky is my favourite bass player ever so I loved it, would have been bored to tears if it was a greatest basslines show

    Phew, if they were on sale here I would be seriously tempted

    Thanks for the replies, for those that have tried the Mojomojo other than rolling off the high frequencies is it fairly transparent? (ie is it only the high frequencies that get rolled off with the mids unaffected?) I tend to roll off a little treble anyway and go for a mid heavy sound so lack of treble is not a deal breaker for me, thanks

    Hoping someone can help, I know exactly what I want but not sure what pedal will get me there, I am super fussy when it comes to overdrives I am after an overdrive pedal that doesn't cut lows (or has a bass eq to add them back in if it does) doesn't cut mids and I am not a fan of clean blend as clean blend always sounds like 2 signals to me I am considering the Mojomojo pedal as a possible candidate, any others I should consider Thank you

    A short scale single coil p bass would be good

    The problem I found with the stock preamp is that it was quite scooped but also the treble frequencies were voiced too high boosting treble as well as brightening the tone also introduced a lot of string noise.

    It can't hurt to try, if that doesn't imply things it is also worth checking that the ground wire is making contact (I had mine years ago so can't remember what the wiring was like but I would assume that like most basses there is a ground wire under the bridge) single coils are noisy but they shouldn't be unusably so.

    I ordered an Artec but it seems it was dead on arrival, hopefully you have better luck than me. The preamp on the mezzo is pretty hot but I am sceptical that the pickup was too hot for the preamp as a I had a Seymour Duncan hot Spb2 in one a while back and no issues, I actually chose the SPB-2 to counter the mid scoop in the preamp and it was a great match and did exactly that.

    Ok, I raised another return request and they have to agreed to replace the bass so fingers crossed 🤞

    I've just taken delivery of a Mustang bass from them and there's a section of finish missing from part of the truss rod route, I thought about keeping it as it's a cosmetic blemish but every time I look at the bass it bugs me, especially on a brand new bass. Anyway I contacted them to request an exchange and they told me it's normal and within the manufacturers standards😡 I emailed them back and asked them to please arrange exchange or refund, fingers crossed but I am not impressed so far

    Not wonky just slanted for warmer D and G 🤣

    Hi I have owned a couple of Fender PJ Mustang basses in the past but foolishly moved them on due to gas making me want newer, shinier but not necessarily better things, I remember them being really solid basses, not sure what series of Mustang they were but were easy before the player 2 series. Anyway I am at the point where I would like another bass and want something a little nicer than the cheap £200 basses that I tend to end up buying (and then moving on a few months later), anyone here own a player 2 series Mustang bass? How are they? I really liked the Mustangs I played in the past and hoping these are as good Thanks

    So..... What's the consensus on these now they have been out for a bit, are they rebadged Affinity's or are they there own thing?
