    Ooh, I fancy one of those.

    Ooh, I’ve used Riverside too (I think), there’s a drum shop there too IIRC. That was decent enough.

    I used this once, it was OK and fits your requirements. However, I did see something somewhere online that they might be closing, so worth calling to check. https://www.abbeymusicstudios.co.uk/getting-here

    Double P FTW.

    It’s definitely a gloss neck. I often don’t get on with nitro finished necks due to the potential stickiness (yes, I’m looking at you Gibson ES335, PRS Swamp Ash Special and Fender Roadworn 50s P Bass) but the JMJ is very well cured and reminds me of my old ‘63 P Bass and I don’t find it any more sticky than a poly finished, gloss neck.

    At first glance, it really is a case of WTAF? Then, after repeated viewing, it all seems to make sense and becomes very appealing, not least due to the hardware upgrades that are just right and look like it was designed that way. Kudos.

    Firstly, it’s the ergonomics. The Mustang feels bigger than the ‘Ray and despite the more limited upper access, this doesn’t seem to be a problem, in fact I find the ‘Ray a bit cramped up there, as my body gets in the way. The ‘Ray is a great instrument bit, by comparison, feels a little toy like compared to the JMJ, probably due in no small part to me being a slightly bigger bloke (6’) and I really like the JMJ’s slab body to rest my forearm on, whereas the ‘Ray is much slimmer and doesn’t work quite as well (it’s absolutely fine really, it’s just me but the Mustang feels right). Then there’s the tone, whilst at home there doesn’t appear to be an awful lot different tonal difference with the ‘Ray set to single coil mode, but live and at volume the Mustang has more fundamental and pronounced low end, that you could describe as vintage, which is perfect for my current band and gives me confidence because I can both hear and feel it. The ‘Ray wins the weight battle easily, being lighter and better balanced, has more tonal options and is better suited to more modern production styles. However, the tonal limitations of the JMJ make me work harder to achieve the required tones with the tone control and hand position and I like that aspect.

    I told you they were addictive.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using headphones, I used to do this due to neighbour considerations. I used to use a Korg Pandora, which had the clever feature of removing bass from an input source to help playing along. I think that other similar devices have this option too.

    They got fed up writing about Phil, Holly and the whole Good Morning non news event.

    Welcome to the shorty brigade, watch out, they’re addictive.

    Ridiculous! I saw Steven Wilson at The Royal Albert Hall, with a box seat for £45. Ticket pricing is all the over the map, without rhyme or reason.

    Doesn’t/didn’t Horace Panter use one with The Specials? T’birds do have the perception of being a rock bass and I can see why. However, if folk pigeonhole any instrument, they’re missing a trick (the story of Ozzy, with Randy Rhodes pitching up to the audition with a Les Paul springs to mind).

    Very well put, Trav.
