Likewise.

If that box stays sealed, the teasing will be even more strongly felt at NJ’s end (sounds rude, wasn’t meant to be).

That’s what I thought.

Well that’s just cruel.

Get ready to become addicted to the charms of the Mustang, I know I am.

Tech21 Bass Fly rig or the Valeton clone, the Dapper would cover you there.

Welcome from another north of the border BCer, there are a good number of us (although I’ve only been here 10 months).

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

Fade To Grey - Visage

Different nut widths too, the PJ being J width the Vintera being Precision-esque.

Everything I’ve played from the Vintera range has been good. It’s nice to hear that this is still the case. Happy NJBD!

Oh, I like that - a lot! I hear Yes, Flying Colours and Dream Theatre in there, all of which is good. I saw John Young playing keyboards for Quango (basically Asia without Downes and Howe) many years ago and they were excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Gah! That’s annoying. However, this… I’ve only just noticed the lollipop tuners - cool! (I’m a recent convert to these)

That was my thought, but I reread @Dood’s post in case I’d missed something and I think the recording in question is Yes.

I’ve had albums change my musical life. Made In Japan introduced me to hard rock, I disposed of all my pop albums and went down the rabbit hole of heavier music. Before that, CSNY’s 4 Way Street and Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night made me want to learn guitar. Later, hearing Pino made me want to jump ship from skinny strings to bass. As I then pursued different musical avenues after these events, my life changed in that respect.

Shoreline Gold is such a cool colour. Given my aesthetic preferences, I shouldn’t like it, but I absolutely love it ever since I saw it on a Roscoe Beck Signature.

I suppose it depends on your body shape, but I’m 6 foot, 85kgs and have medium sized hands. Speaking of ugly… 😆

Of course! Abso-bloody-lutely!

I think Burns’ biggest problem is their love affair with the big, poorly shaped pickguard/electronics housing. The Mustang makes a lot more sense when you have it on a strap, the elongated, slab body suddenly works, with you hands falling, comfortably into the ‘right’ positions, any contouring would be superfluous (well, for me at least). It even looks better being worn, rather than when standing alone.

I wonder if one emailed Roger, you could source such an item? That looks very nice @lonestar, certainly looks how they should’ve been released from the get go. How’s the weight?

Loving the grey.

Burns have some form in the UBG stakes: Although, I also find the Fender Mustang and G&L Fallout’s looks into the challenging category and I own a Mustang.

Jet Silver & The Dolls From Venus - Bebop Deluxe

Agreed, all the sleek beauty of the normal T’bird bludgeoned (probably the wrong adjective) out by a blind, bandsaw operator. Better suited to powering a canoe.
