  1. I bought one of these for my daughter when she had a go at learning bass many years ago. I remember it as being a great sounding and playing bass. The Duncan Designed pickup punched well above its weight. I probably would have kept it as it was the same scale length as the mustang bass I was mostly playing at the time — when I only owned one mustang, but it didn't really fit with the vibe of the Americana band I was in.
  2. Don't believe HerculeIes's BS about being safe for the finish. have a hercules stand with the same grabby head piece they use on their wall hangers. I had one of my JMJ mustangs with roadworn nitro finish, and the grabby bit of the stand reacted with the finish of the neck where it held it. As it is a roadworn bass and I caught it early it's not a massive deal, but I now use use a t-shirt over the stand so it doesn't directly touch the bass.

  8. When I was first getting into flatwounds I ordered three sets of Rotosound jazz flats. Tried one set - hated the tension and the gap between the windings varied for each string making each one feel totally different. I've bought many pedals to try out with my rig and then flipped them when they weren't quite what I'd hoped for, but I imagine a lot of us probably do that and if you buy secondhand you don't lose any value. The most immediate case of buyers remorse I had was when I wanted a hard case for a mustang bass, but for the same price the Fender cases were being sold at, I could order a custom-made heavy duty aluminium flight case, so I foolishly thought that would be a reasonable option and ordered one. When it arrived it was beautifully made and was well up to the job it was designed for, but I immediately knew it was far too big and heavy for my needs and would be totally impractical to use.

  20. My JMJs (2 blue & 1 black) don't have the weird pattern on the upper horn like on the pic, so no need to worry about that. The classic vibe mustang is a great bass — now I have set up my competition orange one properly, it's a lot closer to my vintera than I expected it would be, and you don't have to take the neck off to tweak the truss rod.

  24. The G string looks like its almost hanging off the edge of the fingerboard. No wonder there are no pictures of him playing it. I bet he couldn't get rid of it quick enough.
