nick Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I'm a recent convert to these great little monsters. I've acquired two in the last six months 😊 2016 (MIJ) 'Fender Special Run' & a '78 natural. Both love flats, got Chromes on the FSR & Labellas on the '78 9 Quote
Christine Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I've always fancied one of these but I was never a fan of a short scale so I've never actually made the effort to try one. Quote

BassAgent Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Got me a B-stock (but brand new) JMJ Mustang for a great price at Thomann. What a cool little bass. 6 Quote
scrumpymike Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Much to my own surprise, never owned one of these despite being a short-scale player. Doubly strange as I played one for a year or so a few years back and loved it. The singer/rhythm guitarist whose band it was found it in a skip and, being an accomplished wood-worker, was able to restore it. He insisted that I played it as he reckoned it was the nicest-sounding bass he'd ever heard. Couldn't really argue as it was perfect for what the band doing.

Woodinblack Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 I ordered one of the mustang squiers that were announced last year, but then after a few months cancelled my order, just as well, they are still not out! Quote

Paul S Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) I have a Squier VM Mustang that I like a lot. It's my second! A previous owner had swapped out the pickup for a Nordtstrand MN4, which I like, and also applied a cheeky Fender decal, which I can live with. I think you'd be hard pressed to tell this apart from the real thing now - except the weight. The few Fender Mustangs in black with maple necks I've seen online have all been exceedingly heavy whereas this is around 7.5lbs. Edit - lousy picture. My shaky hands!

scrumpymike Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 That's a fine collection. Love the way you've displayed them as works of art - which is exactly what they are. Quote

Expand there are a few differences between the '75 and '66: - 1975 has on roundwound strings, pickup isn't the original one but a lollar custom shop (the standard lollar has a different size and wouldn't fitted on a vintage mustang). it sounds brighter than the '66, more aggressive i love the tone with the pick. body has contour that might it feel a bit more comfortable. thicker neck. - 1966 has on labella flatwound strings, original pickup. this one has a good punch and attack and sound smoother than the '75. lightweight bass and what i mostly love about it is the neck, shape is thinner than the other mustang and feel super comfortable to me. i'm also a p bass player so i like too big and chunky necks but this one has something special to me. 4 Quote
