Agree Chris, I`ve got a couple of cheaper Mustang basses and up against my JMJs there is a difference in sound, the JMJs being fuller sounding. I`ve noticed this on the Andertons "Sound Like" series - the difference when they do the same bands on the By Busting The Bank compared to the Without Busting The Bank is usually quite apparent, with the By episodes being fuller sounding with usually a much smoother top end.
