Sibob Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm surprised Scientology allows signature basses 🤔😂 Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1500061104' post='3335458'] Music Radar website says £969. [/quote] Bargain. [/sarcasticdisbelief] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 My favourite bass is a vintage white CIJ mustang to which I have an aged pearl pickguard & a tug-bar (treble side). I also have a Daphne blue '72 musicmaster which looks fantastic but not in the same league as the mustang. A '66 daphne blue mustang with 'lollypop' tuners in good condition would pretty much be my ideal bass. If they made an undamaged or aged but not abused 'closet classic' version of the JMJ I'd be all over it, but the relic job looks awful.

njr911 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Did anyone get one of these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 looks good, the colour is nice and looks convincingly aged. But yeah, thats a massive price for a mustang. Though i see a lot of 70's mustangs for sale for around £700, i dont see many from 1967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBGuitar Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Where're you seeing 70s mustangs for £700? Seem to be going for more like £1200-1500 now, and it's still increasing by the looks of things. I'd say this is pretty decent value tbh.

njr911 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'd like a old mustang, tempted to chop in my Flea Bass for one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byo Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 £500-650 is the going price for a CIJ Mustang Bass, I wish I could find a 70's one for £700! The prices on offset Fenders guitars are going up a lot lately. I'd like to put the JMJ sig up against my CIJ and see why it's worth that extra bit of cash. I do dig it though and probably get one in the future anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 i bought a 70's mustang last year for £750 i think. I traded that then for a grabber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 This one sold recently for around £740 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1971-Fender-Mustang-Bass-/132301516772?hash=item1ecdc8efe4:g:QNYAAOSwaMpZmZFB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njr911 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Stripped and non original parts though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Its the quo look though. And if the original parts fail, or are broken, its what you need to make it a gigging bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 JMJ let the thread over on TalkBass know that there has been some production issues and things are behind schedule right now. I was very close to pulling the trigger on a pre order recently but want one in my hands first to have a good feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savethedaves Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm in the same boat. Have been pretty excited about this but I want to make sure it's right before dumping £900+ on it, or see whether or not I just wait until someone wants to move theirs on in a few month's time for a bit less! Haven't seen any proper review videos yet either, the namm ones are ok for features and real world looks but pants for sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adee Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Soooo anyone got their hands on a JMJ yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Looks like they've been put back to later in the year - possibly due to the rosewood fingerboard. I expect the ones that come into the UK might have Pau Ferro fingerboards like the PJ mustangs. Looking at some of these on a google image search shows that the 'road worn' wear doesn't seem as grimey looking as the first images that were released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adee Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Aaah thats much better, just right amount of wear I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Looking like it’s probably mid April before these arrive over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound&Fury Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just got an update that my JMJ won't arrive before the second half of May. Anyone expecting theirs sooner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I haven’t preordered one and was just waiting to see who got their shipment first. Was hoping for first week of April which Thomann have on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
