Osiris Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Just stumbled across this when looking for new toys online, I think I want one https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-offset-mustang-bass-pj-sea-foam-pearl/927703?gclid=CjwKCAjw0N3nBRBvEiwAHMwvNmsxvmgo1JDe6QimSKavDDPBq7CnzkXBcrx06Pp0Uz1KHNtVwSf3LBoCcHQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 5 Quote
hooky_lowdown Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Very cool colour. Nice to have a maple neck too. Quote
Delberthot Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I love the Mustangs but always think that P & J pickups look out of proportion on such a small bass, as did those ones with the big mudbucker Quote
Pea Turgh Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 I agree. That there would look so much cleaner with just the P’s. Quote
Cuzzie Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) No pleasing some folk! Looks a corker Edited June 6, 2019 by Cuzzie Quote
project_c Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Oh no.. Maple neck Mustang, I’ve been harping on about the need for these for ages. My gear abstinence oath is in serious danger. 1 Quote
King Tut Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Thank God it's not actually in stock - would've pulled the trigger. Asked to be notified when in stock though! Quote
sprocketflup Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Sorry to be thick, what does FSR stand for? Edited June 6, 2019 by sprocketflup 1 Quote
Osiris Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 FSR means Fender Special Run, essentially a limited edition of a particular model. 1 Quote

I've thought about changing the bridge to something bigger on my P/J Mustang too, what bridge have you fitted to yours? Quote
martthebass Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I know it's being picky but I just think the standard BBOT bridge looks wrong on a 'Stang. It needs to look like this.......loving the maple board though. Edited June 7, 2019 by martthebass 4 Quote
Osiris Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 I've also found a couple of black Mustangs with maple fretboards on Reverb which look great too, although I just wish they didn't have tort scratch plates, nasty things that they are 🤮 😀 I can't find any other information about them online and the seller's are in Europe. Make of that what you will. https://reverb.com/item/23255553-fender-fender-mustang-bass-special-edition-pj-maple-neck-black 1 Quote

I thought these were sold in the US only, weren’t they a CME exclusive? Quote

I was in the market for a Mustang when this came on the market. I was really torn, I was driving on my hols and going up the M1 through Rotherham where this is based so could've picked it up. BUT . . . . . I lurve maple necks and the FSR really floated my boat so that's what's won out - although I've got to wait until I get back before I can take delivery. Got to drive back through Rotherham so must resist temptation to buy another!! Quote
