Given the Mustang’s somewhat narrow proportions, how well is it secured sideways? Any chance of a photo in situ?

Baby, It’s Cold Outside - Various

The tone control on the JMJ is marvellous, plenty of variation all through its travel, very like my old ‘63 P.

Napalm Death would say yes.

WTAF? THIS IS A THING? The World has officially gone mad. There’s plainly too much charlie in the Unilever development department.

Just finished the set up with the D’Addarios (EXL160M, 50-105]. I did a bit yesterday that also included a truss rod tweak and wanted it to settle. Another tweak today, plus height and intonation adjustment (not much). Man, these strings are punchy! They push the pickup into breakup when you dig in (the amp level is staying the same) very similar to way Nordy Big Singles break up; love it. The bottom end is a fair bit tighter, which makes it seem more even across the strings and not quite so low mid heavy allowing for a tone that’s more pleasing to my ears, but should still sit in the mix nicely without becoming lost, it certainly has punch in abundance. Now I just need a band to use it with ☹️.

That’s probably what it smells like.

Ah, good thinking. I must remember to spread it on my legs the next time I go out walking, they’re a bloody nuisance (pun intended).

Why are you spreading Marmite on your pits?

Punday Punday - Mamas & Papas

Break a leg.

Pretty much my take too, although I no longer own a P. Fitted mine with D’Addario roundwounds yesterday, not a million miles away from the Cobalts tonally on first listen in terms of midrange, perhaps a tighter low end and, obviously more top end sizzle, which I expect will dissipate after a while. Haven’t played roundwounds for years, so I’m expecting some finger soreness on my right hand.

Nice one. What’s your take, now that you’ve plugged it in and gone back to back?

The Classic Vibe has a narrower, J type nut width, IIRC. This might be a consideration for your son’s build.

Good man! You got what you were originally looking for and for a good price. Now, something you need to know about BC, there’s a rule, which is so strict that it has its own emoji… We expect these and a full report on your new bass’s arrival.

Absolute star!

Can open, worms everywhere.

One thing you'll find about the BC community is that we are a helpful bunch, especially when it comes to buying gear, because we can then live vicariously through others' purchases. The weird thing is, once you have one, they seem to pop up everywhere, probably down to them being very 'on trend' at the moment. One of the local charity shops had a cheapy, short scale, J type thing last week.

This just appeared on my YT feed. Just to add another option, rather than muddy the waters. Anderton’s have them at £499. However, the proportions might negate it.

It’s this one

Ooh, I almost forgot
