ped Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 I just looked up the music shop where this came from (sticker on back of headstock) It opened in ‘72 so this bass must have been some of their first stock https://www.soundpad.co.uk/about-us 5 Quote

BassApprentice Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) I appreciate this may be a phase, but I look forward to the day that I find *my* bass, like you seem to with Mustangs/Musicmasters. It's always fun to buy and sell gear - but having a bass style you just enjoy playing is really the end goal for most of us. They look great! Edited October 9 by BassApprentice 3 Quote

It's always fun to buy and sell gear - but having a bass style you just enjoy playing is really the end goal for most us. They look great! I've found 'the one' a few times, but realistically I feel that these offer a great balance between P, J and fretless sounds in a comfortable, vintage yet personalised package. My only advice would be to try as much as you can because I never thought I'd like a Mustang and hadn't even considered them before (you couldn't get much further from a Vigier Passion if you tried). These are the 30th and 32nd basses I've had - small numbers by some standards! Quote
