Most reviewers keep presenting these as basses for beginners or people with smaller hands, but there is also the thing where for a given note, the string is looser, giving it a little more thump - so it has a pretty cool sound. I had a Mustang bass back in the 70s - I wish I had kept it.
I bought the gold one few days ago, playing long scales since 15 years , i love the sound (can play every style of music with those pickups) and the playability is amazing
I have just bought one of these and had Tapewound strings put on it. I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis, and find this a very comfortable Bass to play. Sometimes, I'm not up to playing a full-scale Bass. (I have a Player Jazz Bass as well)
These sound great. I have played long-scale basses all my life and have big enough hands, but various joint issues have made short-scales a lot more comfortable. Definitely thinking about one of these with flats to replace my P.
The only thing that I don’t like about this bass is the neck dive, but it gets solved with the proper strap. Other than that, I play this one instead of my American P Bass, I just love playing it! I got that sienna sunburst that’s on the back…just a very cool bass to look at
I was given a Squire bronco bass and played the absolute crap out of it, so when I got some cash I bought a Mexican Mustang, I love the sound and feel, I used to play guitar in drop c or b so that slinky string feel was familiar
Always thought that the mustang shape is a really ugly shape for a guitar but as a bass shape i think it as a way better proportion and it look rather good imo
I have a request for your Sound Like series! I’d like to see you guys compare built in effects in amps like the line 6 spider series and the boss katanas and see how those on board effects sound compared to their pedal counterparts. No particular science here but I’m a fan of pedals over amp effects however some amps get a bad rep because they have “too many settings” and things to mess with. Prove them wrong!
I am really not a fan of the PJ thing on a Mustang (but understand the appeal for some people) and I am not a fan of the Pao Ferro too, I'll pick a maple neck any time over that way too clear one. It would be cool thoug to have a Mustang bass with maple fingerboard and the right pickup. So I ordered a JMJ one, The beautyfull Rosewood and the right pickup, the real deal to me.
Fender started using the featured pickup configuration in the Mustang offset series before discontinuing that line and reintroducing it in the player series line.
Appreciate the video, but it's almost like people purposely avoid the Low E string when doing demos of Sghort Scale Basses. The dull E string is frequently an issue. These look great but I can't live with a dull low E string.
Nathan’s attitude is that short scales are for students. Ridiculous. McCartney has played a short scale for most of his career. I have one of these Mustangs and love it.
Same here. the team of Nathan and Lee was great chemistry. Lee's enthusiasm shone through. Much like Top Gear the personality of the host(s) makes a huge difference
I really want one of these I bought a sonic duo awhile back and loved the short scale but I’m originally a bass player now I want this short scale so bad
I mean at least it has a pickup selector so you can just have the p bass pickup on. The others in this price range don't have pickup selectors if they are PJ pickups. But yeah the placement is a bit shit.
Own a mint 1978 Fender Mustang Bass. Natural Swamp Ash and a maple neck. Original weak PUPs with heavy flat wounds through a 300 watt tube head with 4 Tens in stereo. Its a blast. And, the sound is utterly unique. Imagine that early 1970's midrange fat Jaco and Stanley Clarke sound. Non of that sub shit and walls shaking and head aches. Pure shred with the Glen Cornick/ Jethro Tull and Jack Cassidy/Airplane attitude. Lead bass guitar. Add an echo tape delay in stereo for effects. And, make sure you get your solos in and piss off the guitar players. But, the drummers will give you kisses. And, the singers won't complain either.
wheres the video with danish pete and they test some basses and one has string-through strings and the other is like these with strings fixed on top? yeah u know wot i mean....
bassists are odd. Too many think short scale = lessor. It is just a different length. Its like saying baritone guitars are somehow better/cooler/more for experts than regular guitars.
No one recall they just had Mexican PJ Mustangs within the last year or two? Acting like these are so out of the ordinary? I mean, the new finishes are cool, but geez 🤷♂️ Not Earth shattering.
Shame on you for not suggesting this bass being suitable for half the entire population who might appreciate a real Fender which would fit their body and hasn’t just been painted pink😳
Or it being a cheapish ( no good guitar that is cheaper than others is actually cheap lol) PJ configuration with a pickup selector within its price range sold by fender.
This is very substandard for Anderton’s TV. Who ever that new presenter is, he’s not very confident in front of camera, the whole thing just felt awkward and forced, where’s Lee Voss??
