Okay yeah, it was a different portastudio but the same kind of messing about. Very lo-fi. Not sure how to insert a video here but the link will work. 

Today I'm tidying up a bunch of originals, mostly acoustic and vocals but the little Tanglewood bass is on a lot of the tracks, it records really well. It's got LaBella flats on it and it's a joy to play.

Love it!  What a great retro sound!  Bass sounds brilliant, as does everything else.

Thank you, you're very kind and I appreciate it 👍 I should stop faffing about and upload more to YT really.

Also I'll stop the thread derail now and get back to gawping at JMJ Mustangs which are turning into a minor obsession...

Was in Merchant City Music earlier and tried out a few Reverends (They are all fantastic btw). The Sentinel is a great wee bass, the blade pickup is HOT and bright, but the 3 way switch, not 100% what the settings are but got a great variety of tones. If you're looking at Mustangs at around £800 and want something a bit different I would definitely recommend looking at the Sentinel as an option!

Modified Bronco and Jaguar, my two fave basses from which I shall never be separated!

Morning lads,

I have the same bass as soldersqueeze (Squier on the right) and was thinking of selling but having read this thread might just get new pickups instead! :) 

Can you give me some suggestions on a powerful p and j for the squier VM SS Jag?

Thanks

Anyone ever tried the Godin Dorchester short scale? A hollow or semi hollow I think.

I had an Aria Hi Flyer mosrite copy, that I stupidly sold, and the pickups were P90 style. Possibly big single coils, and sounded pretty good.

Dorchester looks to be a similar type guitar, just wondering if anyone ever got their hands on one? Pricey things though.

I quite like the look of the Cort Action junior, anybody got one? Also, the Mensinger Cazpar? I need a good reason NOT to buy one!

The Cazpars are amazing!  I've had 3 and if money was no object would have kept them all.  Unfortunately, the basses I have at any given time are decided by the gigs I'm doing - or hoping to do at the moment!

Well here's my current stash of short scales from top to bottom ... all superb in different ways

Fender Justin Meldal-Johnsen Mustang -  superb straight forward solid rock bass, feels lived in   /  Warwick SS Corvette - useful 2 band active, punchy and articulate, skinny neck  /  Fender USA Performer Mustang - polite with a good range of tones, the J pup is very usable and adds a lot of definition, lovely to play ... I want to try a Stingray Shorty now!

If the fretless was fretted I would have bought this off you! I love an ebony board. Which one do you still have?

I’m a bit late replying to this but I’ve only just seen it.

I’ve put EMG Geezers in my Squier SS Jag... amazing! I’m still trying to decide if I prefer it to my Norsdstrand- loaded Mustang... I’d play both at the same time if I could.

The Jag also has a neck to die for...

Funnily enough yes! One saddle was centred when they all should be left aligned, I contacted Fender UK and was resolved quickly as it a know issue now.

I nearly bought one second hand but the bridge holes were off (half moons showing through) and the G string looked out. Look ace though 🙂

Cheap and startlingly effective way to improve the sound from the Jag SS:
