Lees been on all about the bass for months. killer bassist!

@@tom_dilley years, maybe xD

if you got the money, buy a mustang bass and a cheap fender rumble, for kicks. it will bring you hours and hours of enjoyment.

@@zx45zx You are so right. Hours of enjoyment !!! I bought a Sterling SS-4 and a Rumble 100. Being on Covid lockdown, I actually got pretty-good at playing the bass.

@@zx45zx :) Thanks!

The Squier newish Classic Vibe Mustang 60s Bass comes with through body stringing but now Jazz pick up

What about the neck and the weight? I also want to upgrade because of the chunky neck and heavy weight of the Mexican mustang, so I was hoping the american had a slimmer neck and lighter weight

They should wait a few months and do all five of the Mustangs. The Squire Classic Vibe series now includes: 50s P-bass (new), 60s P-bass, 70s P-bass (new), 60s Jazz, 70s Jazz, Jaguar 34" scale (new), Classic Vibe Bass VI and finally, the Mustang 60s bass (new). The ones that I listed as new, are currently only available for pre-order. They will be released near the end of this year. Now for t hff 3 juicy details The Classic Vibe 60s Mustang includes: a single split coil, vintage voiced Mustang pickup, maple neck with Indian Laurel wood fretboard, NATO wood string through body, Mustang style oversized bridge, 1.5 inch wide nut, 9.5 inch neck radius. The only thing it doesn't have, is lollipop style tuners otherwise, it looks a lot like a real vintage Mustang bass. It will be available in two colors, Surf Green with white pickguard and Olympic White with tortoise pickguard. The price is $350. This Squire Classic Vibe series is one of the best things that ever happened to the Squire brand. These Squires look as good as the Vinturas for about 1/3 of the price. That Surf Green Mustang is a damn time machine.

Would be amazing, Mustangs deserve the love

But they can’t do it as well. You can always tell a authentic bassist.

Are you kidding? Lee is a fantastic bass player

@@eveythingthatsadam that’s a different Lee. Tricky!

Some seem to think a bass is a lead instrument.

@@donwilson3880 John Entwistle did.👌

Haha, he is so good

I'm so jelly but I want the surf green. :)

Did you get it by now?? Can u please tell me how much weight is it??

@@Thantas Yes and I love it!! My only complaint is the neck is a little heavy so if you aren’t careful it will nose dive and fall

@@evelyndoyle4830 can u please measure the weight in kilos?? Or pounds please!!!?

@@Thantas I read online it’s only 7.3 pounds not sure what that is in kilo bc i’m American

Aw heck yeah, my guy, excellent taste! Gotta ask - Hofner 500/1 and Mustang - are you a fan of Chris Murphy of Sloan by any chance? :D

Quality control of MIMs is less tight. This means you were lucky to have had good MIM instruments. Some people weren't as lucky and have their complaints.

I really want to see that too. I own a mim mustang hot rodded out a bit with quarter pounders and a high mass bridge and a pink active flea bass, really like them both but don’t know much about basses as I’ve only been playing 4 months.

I agree. It looks like a darker burgandy mist, it's nothing like aubergine.

Honestly cant tell the difference in tone from rosewood.

Proteus If’d you said you could, I’d have called bullshit!

Horseshit, I have a Mexican Offset series PJ Bass and its the best Bass I've ever owned and I've owned plenty of American Basses in my time.

Como se compara on el P bass?

Definitely. Do an ABC with the JMJ vs the PJ

It feels that gap much better. Performer sounds good on it's own because the J pickup is much stronger.

Thanks!

methinks these two dandies are moar 'Gainy Glutes', 'Jr. Biggins' or some-such.

What about the neck? Thin or chunky?

I Wish right?

And add a bridge upgrade

It's the way to go!

doesn't really need a pickup upgrade. The stock pickups are decent. I put a set of Fralins in mine... and switched them back.

I’d buy a better bridge and modify to strung through, easy peasy 😍

I put Dimarzio Model P and J pickups in mine, then an Area P and J pickups.

Hello!! Wonderful base you own!! Can you please tell me the weight??? It’s crucial to me and I’m interested in the mex mustang of the video

@@Thantas It weighs just under 7.5 pounds. Great little bass. You can see mine in my crappy videos I just started making because I've been COVID bored at home.

@@PanaGringoBarefootBass thank you veeeery much!! I’ll be watching the videos about mustangs!! I’ll go check right now!! I will be ordering mine soon! Stay safe! Stay productive!!!

I replaced the switch with a pot and a small knob, controlling the P-pickup. The normal volume knob controls the J-pup and the tone knob controls both tone. Might interest you!

The same way a grand piano has way more sparkly highs compared to an upright!

And a brilliant afterthought it is. It adds TONS of versatility. In fact, I run mine with that afterthought soloed most of the time. And for you purist types that have been whining about that pickup for months and months now, there is now the Vintera series Mustang bass with only one teeny-tiny little pickup just like it is still 1964. So... no more bellyaching. K?

Chill out, dude! I meant the look, not the sound. Hence the word "look". And I don't care for the sound of Jazz pickups in the bridge position anyway. Never use it on my Precision, even if it's there. Would look better with a more Mustang-ish cover, though, you have to admit that!

There aren't enough videos of the Mikey Way Signature

You tend to hear more low end and less hi’s and mids

@@markperry7655 Agree. Now that I bought a Sterling Stingray SS-4. Of all the short scale basses, the Stingray and the Sire sound the most like a Full scale. I've also EQ'd my Rumble 100 - to slightly boost the treble & high-mid to compensate. Fantastic little bass. oNe LovE from NYC

Not useful for those that play flats, the hard break angle for string through will separate the ribbon winding and expose the core wire , shortening string life.

Ha ha .. that's what brought me here !
