NBD - Squier CV Mustang

[miles'tone]

Really pleased with this new (to me) family member. 

I swapped my Jet P locally for it.

I installed Gotoh Resolite GB528 tuners to get rid of the nasty neck dive, and a set of Labella MUS flats.

The laurel fingerboard came up nice with some boiled linseed oil and I've set it up to my preferences (after sorting one high fret).

It looks small but sounds big! Such a breeze to play too. Every note rings true. I expected the pickup to be the letdown from what I've read but it sounds great as is. Also, it works better with my pedals than the Jet (not that the Jet was bad or anything).

I'm a happy Chatter.

They’re nice basses aren’t they, play & sound great.

I sold mine in a fit of “but the next one will the The One”.  It wasn’t, and I sold that, too!  I do regret the sale of the Mustang.  I put a mint guard on mine - looked lush!

 

Cue me looking for another oly white Mustang…

That's really nice. Congrats! Has it got the same Japanese split coil with the reverse thread height adjustment screws as the Mexican/American ones?

 

I bought a used American Performer Mustang a couple of weeks ago and love it. It's a perfect tonic to play as house bass player at a Sunday jam I do after a long distance Saturday tribute show with a Jazz strapped to me for two hours.
