I fully agree! The LaBella’s are my favourite as well. I just had my 78’ setup with a fresh set of said strings last week after trying rounds for a while. It felt at home immediately and it plays and sound so much better.
-
Great move, indeed. I can highly recommend the LaBella Mustang flats (for a vintage vibe) or Dunlop steel flats (for a tad more zing the first couple of months).
-
…and they sound even more even across the fretboard strung with flatwound strings! Try it if you haven’t already.

I agree! Great comparison @greghagger!

The JMJ I had some couple of years ago was also on the heavier side and considerably heavier than my p-bass. My current Mustang, made in 78’ with a beautiful single piece ash body and chunky neck, weighs 4,4kg despite having contours. Shortscales - and perhaps Mustangs in particular - does not necessarily have to be lighter than 34” basses. ☺️ I can highly recommend trying a 70’s Mustang in alder. They weigh around 3 to 3,5kg and the pickups are second to none if you’re looking for a p-bass vibe.

I use a Mono Sleeve guitar case for my Mustang and it works great. Not the cheapest case, but it is great for most short scale basses. I kind of wish I bought the Mono m80 instead as it is a bit more sturdy so that would be my recommendation.

New bass day! 78’ Mustang in translucent wine-red. The picture does not do the beautiful ash body justice. What a find! -
The L’il Fella is one of the best fuzz pedals I have tried and it has not left the pedalboard since I bought it! 🎸

New bass day! Hagström hIIbn from 1975. A thing of beauty and it plays great! Surprisingly resonant and light considering it is made of birch as well. Chords sound beautiful with both pickups engaged and it sounds absolutely massive cranked up. -

What’s the general opinion on the Trent Guitars basses? Has anyone tried their mk1 bass? -
I noticed now that you have the Aguilar Tonehammer 350 as well. I have paired my Barefaced SC with a TH500 amp and it is by far the best combination of amp and cab I have had!
-
Having tried both, I must say that the Barefaced Super Compact is superior to the Aguilar SL. Go for it!
-
I believe my Serek Midwestern bass has got a 40mm neck. It is amazing! Chunky as a 70's P bass neck, yet more narrow nut width.

Recommendation for lightweight amp/cab/combo for carrying on buses/trains?
Owno replied to Oomo's topic in Amps and Cabs
I see. Personally, I tend to find the PJB combos to be a bit too transparent, but the Double 4 really is a beautiful piece of equipment for what it is. Good luck with the search for an amp! My advice would be a lightweight cab and class-D amp. It is such a versatile combination. And I haven't tried any better cabinets than the Brighton made Barefaced cabs to be honest.
