I just came across this thread in a Google search and am wondering how the Mustang turned out, nearly three years on? I am currently in the middle of a similar decision/search myself. First off, I am not primarily a bass player but rather a guitarist who plays bass for songs I've written/am recording. I currently have a Partscaster P Bass that, as far as P Basses go, is pretty great. Though I've recently found that (a) I prefer the feel of a short scale bass, and (b) for recording purposes specifically I like the sound of the P and J (or M and J, as the case may be) pickups together. I played an American Performer series Mustang Bass and loved it but think it's a bit too much to spend for someone who at the end of the day is not actually a bass player and only uses it occasionally. The Player series Mustang would work but I also noticed the sharp fret ends on the one I played and figured it was probably fairly common among them. At the moment I'm torn between (a) get the Player series Mustang and simply file down the fret ends, (b) get a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang and install a J Bass bridge pickup (I've done this mod before so am familiar/capable, and already have the J Bass pickup router template), or (c) do nothing and make it work with the P Bass. Thoughts?
