    I have a Mustang PJ and I thought it probably sounded better than a regular 'Stang with its smaller pickup. Then I got a Squier 'Stang with racing stripe. It gets deep bass like on the live Stones album "Get Yer Ya Yas Out".So now I respect the humble Mustang pickup .

    The pickup placement might make a ton of bass, like a Gibson EB-O. A bass needs some twang or bite. This one seems like an econo EB-3. Good to learn on probably.

    I have this bass also ! I like the brushed chrome metal parts.

    There is a Hagstrum semi-hollow body I played recently-double cutaway . It had a rotary pickup selecter with more than three positions. It played pretty well .Sounded OK too. $800

    I paid $1600 for a new US Stingray before they went up with 18 volts. It feels better than my Sterling Ray 34 but sounds no better. So $1000 is my limit now.

    Get some black or dark brown paint onto those bald patches around the edge. It will look fine to the audience.

    No thumbrest for me as I move bridge to neck for harder or softer (more bass). Now I try to pick thumb-finger-thumb to get some use out of it. The thumb is louder and more bass than any finger. Also palm-mute for a click-thump. A pick for variety .

    My 3 band Ray has an sound that seems to have lows that resemble the sound near the amp. A Precision like my Highway One seems to get the boom you hear in the back of the room. For a thick gtr mix a Ray can be dialed in to be heard. They do have a certain alien quality sometimes.

    I got a mint U5 and the tuners worked better than average. A Squier Mustang Bass has grindy tuners that are harder to change pitch just a little. The U5 gets good highs , somewhat unlike a Fender. (photo coming )

    Those chrome pickups are good ! I wish I could buy some to add to my 'Stang and Precision. Embrace the chrome .

    Did he come back to Fender ? (from Alembic ?) Years ago I saw the Moody Blues and their bass man played an Alembic ; later he played an active Fender.

    They use a Bass VI and a separate bass guitar ? Or not ?

    I like Pinkie . The mint green is already used on many basses and will be too common soon. - and I have a mint green Ray and a mint green Sire U5 .Green is good . Pink better.

    A perfect chick to have in a band. She played good, looked good, sang good, and wrote hit songs. In the early days at least she moved her own gear!

    The Sire D5 averages 9lbs. I want one because I just got a U5 and now I like Sire.

    I bought one Squier Mustang Bass because it was $400 cheaper than a Mustang PJ , sounded a little different, and had a stripe ! That is my excuse for 2022. I also slipped into buying a Guild acoustic gtr. Abstinance is a tough trail to take and stick to.

    Pitbull Music has them now !

    That bass is hard to find in the US. I have been waiting for months for Sweetwater Music or Chicago Music Exchange to get some in stock. The demos I've heard had a nice treble "edge" with both pickups on ; better than my Mustang PJ has.

    I wonder if a threaded saddle sounds better than a saddle with one notch ? both low mass
  24. grenadillabama
    I like the brighter low mass bridge. Better twang.

    I was playing my Mexican P Bass Deluxe yesterday and thought the sound was a hot P sound. The neck was a narrow-nut Jazz feel for the fretting hand. Another active P is a Schecter (can't remember the model but it is current ).
