All the things that can make a premium bass expensive - rolled fretboard edges, high-mass bridges, graphite reinforced necks, tonewoods, quarter-sawn necks etc - are all of course nice to have, but unnecessary for many.

Its easy to add rolled fingerboard edges to a cheap instrument and make it play feel a bit more upmarket. I've done it to various basses and guitars—most recently to a bullet mustang guitar which totally transformed how it felt. Also swapping a BBoT for a Fender HiMass is £30 and is also an easy job.

My JMJ mustang came with Fender 9050 flats (.045 - .100 long scale) with green silks as standard....

I've just put a new set of medium scale 45-100 D'Addario Chromes on my JMJ mustang, and they do feel and sound remarkably similar to the Fenders but with a bit of new string zing. The fit better though and the blue silks coordinate nicely with the colour of the bass. I believe these are the strings Mr Meldal-Johnsen uses on his own mustangs.

So if JC’s voice was dropping, why did he want to *raise* the key?

You know what man, I'm really not concerned with that.

Surely this is not changing the length of the string but changing the mass. I wonder whether it would have the same effect when the additional mass is added to the string behind the bridge saddle?
