I've owned and sold a Performer and still own a JMJ. Both are really nice but the JMJ edged it for me with the nitro finish and slightly chunkier neck. The Performer is much more modern feeling and can get a wide variety of tones. But the pickup on the JMJ is great. I've just switched from the stock flats on the JMJ to rounds ... which I didn't think I'd ever do ... but it sounds awesome with the rounds too 😀

I've bought and sold a Mustang PJ and a Performer Mustang, and bought and kept a JMJ Mustang. The JMJ is a little too reliced, but is a superb bass .. fit and finish, playability and tone are great.

I'll be trying out a G&L fallout on Friday, so keen to see how that plays out.

I'd love to try a Wilcock shortscale, but haven't had the chance yet.

The new bass looks beautiful. Glad you found a good one. I still have my eye on one, but stock locally is low and I definitely want to try before I buy.

Played an lb100 yesterday for the first time whilst trying out a few amps. Was surprised at just how nice it was at this price point.

I've always thought that if I want a P bass then I'd buy Fender (and I have so far) but I simply just really enjoyed playing the g&l.

I came home with the amp, but now very tempted to go back and check out the lb100 some more.

I used 45-100 Chromes on my mustangs and they were really nice. When using rounds I had to go to heavier 105s.

I’ve been impressed with the Fender 9050L flats that come standard on the JMJ Mustang. Nice and punchy with just enough tension so you can dig in whether you play pick or fingers.

I've found the same, and won't be changing these on my JMJ. Previously always used D'addario Chromes on my other (no longer owned) mustangs and they worked great too.

I tried one in store recently and the action was too high for my liking and the saddles couldn't go much lower. Didn't want to pay for the cost of a new Pro 2 knowing I would need to shim the neck. Shame because it was beautiful otherwise.

That's a beautiful bass.

Very nice! I have a 2019 MIJ hybrid jazz 4 string and the build quality is great. GLWTS.

Looks great. Hate to ask ... but any idea on weight? Thanks.
