Duroc17 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Reluctant sale but needs must-ang ha CIJ Fender Mustang bass - serial number comes up 1994 (and was bought by me advertised as 94( but CIJ started 1997 - so Q should be 02-04. Then again apparently there were some CIJ used as a crossover- so It’s either 22 or 30 years old - anyway it’s a cracker. Sanded and waxed body (bought like this) gives it a really beautiful aged look and very resonant, set up with brand new TI lightest guage flats - so very low tension - I’ve also had the neck gloss sanded off and olied by luthier pal - super fast to play. I’ve had him install hand wound Northern Pickups vintage Alnico 5 pickups (like the JMJ) which came on a parchment guard (original tort guard will be included but not original pickups)- 7.6 k - lifetime guarantee- which has given it a bit more bit than old stock ones - please note that the thumbrest isn’t installed on the new pickguard Has a kiog0n solder less loom bought on here from the man himself - with wooden knobs (original blank ones will be included) I first reported an issue where I thought shielding might be needed. Turned out to be a faulty bass pedal as issue was with jazz bass too - now it’s fine again Comes with fitted gig bag which is a good fit. Price is lowest I can let go for to claw back what I paid plus the money I’ve thrown at it. Easily better than the JMJ neck and feels very much like the 76 MIA I had. Collect from Clitheroe or will meet up within 30 miles for petrol or £20 posted to UK only Edited June 17 by Duroc17 sold 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmckee Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 What’s the nut width, and how’s the balance on a strap, please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balances nicely on a strap - I usually use a suede strap so just found an old embroidered strap and balances perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmckee Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Thanks mate. Looking at this in comparison to a JMJ but think I’d prefer its thicker P bass sized neck. GLWS tho. Love that stripped look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that stripped look. This has got a nice feeling neck - it’s got some heft to it - I played the JMJ and I prefer this neck - but I put Alnico 5 pups in this to get the bite the JMJ has - but no worries a JMJ is a good bass - though I think this is better but short scale isn’t for me hence sale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
