You make a very good point...

You're welcome. Several colors but I don't know why they don't make white to go along with the black ones, instead of blue, pink, red, yellow and green.

Likewise. I have a soft spot for Consuls, we drove to NE Spain in a Consul - 4 adults & 3 children (those were the days, no seatbelts or max occupancy )!

I guess it's just the difference of how two different speakers, one being your FOH and one being your IEM, produce the same sound. The extra digital desk channel suggestion above is a good one, however in the absence of that, there may be a compromise available whereby if you like your tone out front, you could make do with a slightly less pleasing sound in your ears in the knowledge that the audience are hearing you the way that you want them to.

Gig in a small East Yorkshire village at a smallish pub. A bit of a change for us as we’ve grown accustomed to larger venues, still it was a nice change. It was a nightmare on set up, plug points in the worst places and the unforgiving tiled floor….fortunately we displayed the Yorkshire ‘it’ll be reet’ philosophy. All went well apart from them turning the lights right down and we handing put all our lights up. Cue a fair few fretting errors from me as the monitoring was pish and I was using the Sandberg Lionel that doesn’t have front dots….

What's better than a leopardskin print?

That's a 'Farnham conversion' by Abbott's of Farnham, a famous coach-builders who spotted a gap in the market when Ford failed to offer an estate version of the Zephyr & Zodiac. AI Overview: Zodiac Farnham conversions were estate car, or station wagon, variants of the Ford Zephyr and Zodiac (MkII, MkIII, and MkIV) saloons, coachbuilt by E.D. Abbott Ltd in Farnham, Surrey, between the mid-1950s and early 1970s. These rare, high-quality conversions featured extended roofs, unique rear tailgates, and sometimes bespoke GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) components. Abbotts sourced brand-new cars direct from Dagenham, then did the conversion to Ford standard, re-using as many components as they could. That tailgate looks odd because it's actually built around the original rear windscreen. The completed vehicles were then sold through official Ford dealers. I had to buy a Farnham simply because it was the only classic car that would accept a 7/8 DB. -

Same here. We had enough regular Consuls, Zephyrs and Zodiacs though. If I understand the WP article correctly, the estates of the Mk II were conversions. -

I put one in my Squier Jag SS. Didn't like it as much as the original in my 76 Mustang but preferred it to the stock P and the Entwhistle that was too deep for the cavity. -

What is the bridge string spacing on a Mustang? My Jim Deacon shorties are very narrow at the bridge. -

To concur with EZbabes, I don't think it's worth the time and effort. My 2 main gigging basses are a JMJ Mustang and a Sandberg Lionel with an EMG Geezer Butler pickup, one of most highly regarded Precision pickups. In terms of tone, the JMJ is way more P like, as in pretty much identical to a P albeit with a bit more of that short scale fat low end. The Sandberg is way more polite in comparison, and for tastes, doesn't come close to the classic P sound as the pickup position is around 10-15mm closer to the bridge compared to the JMJ. -
If anything changes please let me know - I'm happy to help.😉

Sorry to hear about the health issues, Misdee - I hope you feel better soon!🤗 I'm glad to hear you're still playing - man you've got a gem of a bass there! Yeah, I'm a sucker for a Jazz Bass neck profile - Lakland makes some fantastic basses.😃

I wouldn’t have thought so. However, given the smaller ‘window’ of a Mustang pickup and the narrower string spacing, there might be some string to string, volume issues. -
Thanks for watching! It was a fun, memorable time indeed!😃

Can't say scientifically - but probably not enough to justify cost of routing, new pickup and new pickguard. Of course, your bass after all. Sure it would look cool enough. -

Just bought a cab off Steve. Really helpful and good to deal with. Thank you so much!

Quite so. My dad had a Zodiac, albeit a saloon. I don’t remember ever seeing an estate version before though.

Is there any point in putting a Mustang pickup in a shortie P bass? Is there enough of a difference?
