Delberthot Posted June 5, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I agree. That there would look so much cleaner with just the P’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project_c Posted June 6, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted June 6, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketflup Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Sorry to be thick, what does FSR stand for? Edited June 6, 2019 by sprocketflup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 FSR means Fender Special Run, essentially a limited edition of a particular model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Drop the J pickup and I'd be tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about changing the bridge to something bigger on my P/J Mustang too, what bridge have you fitted to yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted June 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were sold in the US only, weren’t they a CME exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
