  1. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on one of these.
    It started a few months ago when I bought a Harley Benton P shorty from Thomann just to try a short scale out. Best £68 I've spent in ages, that bass is so much fun to play. I've done some basic upgrading - I put a set of LaBella flats on, new wiring loom, a Quarter Pounder pick up and a bridge cover. (I bought the strings, the rest were spares I had lying around) It sounds killer and it's now my main bass in one of my bands, we play old soul & RnB.
    Then I stumble across the Fender site and the Mustang PJs. Uh oh. The olympic white is so nice. The OP's pics look lovely and my GAS is raging again.

  2. I changed my playing style a few years ago to a low action and light touch. I completely overhauled my playing style & technique. I also learned how to set up my basses properly and I ditched my compressor. It was a six month journey to get my playing feeling natural & normal again but I haven't looked back. Like you, gig and rehearsal fatigue just isn't an issue any more.
    You will get your dynamics working again, it may take a little time to find the subtle touches, but it's all there waiting for you. Be patient and keep at it.
