    This is a fantastic bass, I built it as a YOB project which turned out rather well. Due to arthritis in my left thumb I sold it to @Grezza 1 GLWTS.

    Harley Benton Mustang-A-Like OR ThunderStang with Loadsa Chrome 😂 So I fitted the second EY Parts Eric Custom Pup to the Harley Benton Mustang. Sounds absolutely awesome. Very Rock'n Roll , aggressive and great for Metal🤪 I used two over wound bridge Pups (10.5K) one at 10ins and one at 13ins centres from the 12th fret. A very satisfying upgrade project.

    Are you liking it anymore this time around 🤔
  6. JohnDaBass
    Great to hear that you've still got all your fingers to cross 🤣

    Thanks. The new pickguard will replace the black surround but I'm inclined to use both chrome surrounds for both Pups. I plan to use two bridge Pups and a balance pot to blend both same value Pups. It will hopefully deliver a greater level of flexibility.

    The Eric Custom T'Bird Pup is not 4-wire but sounds great and a second in the bridge position is the next step. Pickguard will the same dark red Tort.

    So I missed the Harley Benton Mustang-a-like first time round but bought one when the second edition went on sale. The plan was always to use the bass as an upgrade project. The bass is a fantastic instrument, great fit & finish, lovely neck ,light and well balanced. I saw all the upgrades others had done on the first generation ( Low End Lobster etc) but the @ped , @Andyjr1515 pathway really appealed. So stage one Eric Custom T'Bird bridge Pup from EY Parts fitted with the extra black pickguard surround to cover up the wider 'P bass Pup opening. I left the controls stock and I have been amazed with the huge tone from the EY T'Bird Pup. It's positioned 10ins from the 12th Fret, the so called short scale sweet spot. Stage two will be to replace the pickguard, upgrade the controls and add a second EY T'Bird in the bridge position. The cavity for the 3-position selector switch is very generous and I may replace the switch with a balance control with a mini chicken head knob. Very pleased so far!!

    What's wrong with black body dark red tortoise shell pickguard and maple neck and fret board 🙄

    Always good to have the marketing photography supervised by the dog and the Misses 🤣

    @BabyBlueSound have you been able to source a suitable gig bag or lightweight case?
  14. JohnDaBass
    So far no issues, there seems a good balance across the 4 strings through an amp. Early days, but lets see how the strings bed in and settle down?

    NBD My black/Tort Mustang-a-like turned up yesterday. Very pleased with the purchase, all the previous comments and reviews by Lowend Lobster & Bassthe World are spot on. Excellent fit & finish, light weight, lovely roasted bound neck and great balance on a strap. The improvements of the tuners and 3-position Pup selector switch are just right and the Pups are loud and mid forward. Great P tones and the high gain bridge Pup adds just the right amount of honk to replicate a Jazz tone. I missed these the first time round but fate provided the opportunity to buy one of the later runs with the improvements that I would probably have done if I had purchased one from the first batch. I bought this as an upgrade platform to follow @pedand @Andyjr1515 lead with the mods to the '66 Mustang by adding a Gemini TBird Pup and swapping out the bridge Pup for a Warman Twin rail humbucker ( yet to be decided). Interestingly the 'P' Pup is exactly positioned in the short scale sweet spot, 10ins from the 12th fret, so the Genini TBird Pup should sound full and rich. Great value for money, JMJ on a shoe string( how do they do it?????)

    NBD Mine turned up yesterday. What a lovely fun little thing!!! Sounds great through my Fender Rumble 800 combo, very 'P' bass focused . Good balance across all strings. Fretboard appears quite dry so I'll sort that in the the coming days. Very pleased with the Olympic White / tort finish and amazingly well balanced on a leather strap. Just the job for sofa noodling.

    Thanks to @lksmks792 for the heads-up. Ordered a black/tort Mustang-a-like , missed these when they first launched so purchased on past reviews. I like the tuner and selector switch upgrade, HB seems to have listened to comments from the likes of LowEnd Lobster and BasstheWorld. Bargain JMJ for £200.👍

    Short scale just seems to be more comfortable and I can still last playing 2 hours pain free.
  19. JohnDaBass
    Yup, still got all my short scale basses and still playing in one band. I really fancy a USA G&L Fallout, because the tribute I had for my 70th birthday is super and I hear that the USA ones are even better.

    Due to age, health, and deteriorating arthritis in my left thumb I have decided to say goodbye to three of my “Trophy” long scale basses. Trophy? Well, you know, at times during your working life funds pop up unexpectedly and you mark the event with, of course, a bass purchase. So, my ’72 Fender Telecaster bass, US Fender natural P Deluxe and MIM Fender FSR Seafoam green PJ. 2007 US Fender Delux, maple neck with carbon rods, light natural ash body 9v active. 2015 MIM Fender FSR Seafoam green PJ, adler body, bound maple neck ( Jazz width Geddy Lee type) black inlays. Goodbye my dears 🥹

    Ooooh Zoom Fanbois R Us 🤣😂🤣😂 ( B1 Four x2 + B6 owner)
  23. JohnDaBass
    Do we know if the MS 60+ talk is Tonelib and Zoom Guitar lab?
  24. JohnDaBass
    Wow, now that is a huge error. At least my B6 talks to Zoom guitar Lab so swapping patches from B1 Four is easy. It's hard to believe that the Zoom techies overlooked a desktop solution. I did have some GAS to build a new pedal board around a B2 Four, but your confirmation has doused that fire until a desktop solution appears. Thanks John
  25. JohnDaBass
    Hi John, is my understanding correct that the B2-4 does not talk to Zoom Guitar Lab nor ToneLib? So the only way to edit is through the Apple App or on the B2-4 itself☹️
