    Haha, I see. What a coincidence! I actually sold my 78’ Mustang to fund the Mullarkey. No regrets, as it is one of the best basses I’ve played. It is a superior instrument in every way. The Serek is however on par in terms of both playability and craftsmanship.

    I would suggest looking for a 70’s Hagström bass, but not perhaps the Swede as it weighs a lot, but rather the HIIbn which got the very same pickups. I’ve had a HIIbn from 74 and while not the lightest bass as it was made of Swedish birch (3,8kg or so), it had the fastest neck of all basses I’ve ever played and the sound was great. They rarely pop up for sale at BassChat, but try and post in the Swedish equivalent PrataBas and you will find used Hagström basses “en masse” as the French say. In case you want to buy newer basses, I would suggest the Guild Starfire with bisonics. It is a great bass and the craftsmanship is way better than the chinese made Hagström basses.

    You’ve got the wrong guy, I’m just a random Swedish basist and my name is not Tim.

    Yes! A lightly roasted flame maple neck. It looks like caramel irl.

    The bass is nothing out of the ordinary in that respect: two piece alder body with an amber burst, which is magnificent.

    New bass day! I acquired this Wilcock Mullarkey yesterday and took it with me to rehearsal - what a lovely and well-built instrument! Dare I say even better than my Serek…

    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.

    What a beauty!

    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! 🎸
