Les Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Recently had my old Mustang sorted by a luthier, fret dress, new nut and a set up. Decide to try a gig with it. But took the Stingray just in case. OMG. I've transformed from a finger playing Stingray man into a short scale plec playing yob ! Loving it. The sound really suits the bands style (foo fighters, killers, U2 covers etc). Thought it might lack depth but it doesn't, if I'm being hyper critical I think there's a little less clarity on the low notes but thats the only fault I can find. The short scale is amazingly easy to play as well. Anyway, to complete my transformation I've just got a Zoom B2 as well. There's nothing down for me.

Stag Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Good to hear... I love me a bit of the short scale action. Never tried a Mustang tho, are they essentially very much the same as my trusty Musicmaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My bass player in Killer B Movie uses a Mustang,it is Garage Rock at its purest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeatNut Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Mustangs have a very distinctive sound to my ear. Chris Stillwell (Greyboy Allstars and Robert Walter) uses one .. check [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=637488"]here[/url]. (Though interestingly, it sounds like he treats it as a more conveniently-sized precision. ) Only thing stopping me getting one is that I'm pretty tied in to 5ers these days .... I am tempted though. Anyone want my DeArmond Starfire (another shortie) in trade for a Mustang ? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
