mr4stringz Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Seem to remember posting about these none more black FSR Mustangs a while back. Well, Bax have a restock it seems. Bloody good price too. If you’re lucky you might also be able to get a 5% discount code by signing up to their newsletter too. From viewing a recent post it seems their customer service isn’t always the best. But at that price I’m looking forward to receiving mine this week... https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/right-handed-bass-guitar/fender-fsr-mustang-bass-pj-black-eb-limited-edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Good prices on some other basses too; a couple I noticed in particular: Maruszczyk Jake, £899 https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/right-handed-bass-guitar/maruszczyk-jake-c4p-natural-electric-bass-guitar Lakland Skyline 44-64 PJ, £885 https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/right-handed-bass-guitar/lakland-skyline-44-64-custom-pj-candy-apple-red-laurel-fingerboard-electric-bass-guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Blimey, that's (comparatively) cheap! I've seen the equivalent blacked-out Jaguars for pre-order in a few places at £749 - how can an extra four inches of neck cost £260 more?! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Some crazy cheap Sires too, less than £300 for a 5 string Jazz https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/right-handed-bass-guitar/sire-marcus-miller-v3-5-2nd-generation-antique-white Edited July 28, 2020 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardar Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks for the heads up, I pulled the trigger on a black FSR Mustang. I recently experienced Bax Shop's aforementioned terrible customer service, so fingers crossed this time things work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine for £484 so a really good price, only issue is a few slightly sharp fret edges that need tidying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if I could have got the bass from anywhere else I would have. Luckily things went okay this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr4stringz Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Have to say after all the horror stories I was relieved that my purchasing experience from order to delivery was Absolutely fine. The bass? Well, I’m not sure if I’ve just been unlucky but it’s the second MIM PJ Mustang I’ve bought (12 mths or more apart) and both have had issues on delivery. On the first one (domestically purchased) the pickup selector connection was dodgy, and on this one the jack socket is faulty. Fortunately it’s something fairly minor thing so I’m fixing it myself rather than trying to utilise some/any after sales service from Bax and invoke the warranty. Seems way too much hassle given their location too. Other than that issue I’m very happy with it. It’s lighter than my other PJ Mustang, presumably due to the different bridge and tuners. Will move to number one status in my current band once I’ve sorted the little issue out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price was lower (started at £529 I think) when they had the restock initially and that dropped further and further over a period of a few days. Then I got lucky with a 5% discount voucher too.

As mr4stringz said, initially the price dropped when they had a lot in stock and seems to have gone up as the number available has gone down. I also had a 5% discount code but unfortunately mine didn't work, the website said it wasn't valid for that item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
