Every time I have gas for some other bass I need to come back to this video and remind myself why I have this bass. It won't do everything, but what it does is freaking amazing. Great video. Thank you!
I love a Mustang with flats!
@@nickk5948 Yeah. This is my third JMJ (made the mistake of selling this model twice before). I went through a whole spiral last summer where I bought 10 basses I've always considered, or thought this would compare to and made my mind up that this is one I need to keep in the stable at all times. I've got LaBella's on it and it's awesome. I also really like the stock Fender flats. My only other bass is a Hofner Club with GHS Flats. Sometimes I feel the urge to pick up a Stingray or something, but then I get in and just play this bass and after a day, the urge goes away. It feels great and you can just get some really nice tones from it.
I have one of these bad boys and cannot recommend them enough. I had not played a short scale before this and after playing this for weeks, which of course you do with a new toy, a full scale bass felt expansive. I found getting around a full scale neck easier after playing this for some bizarre reason. Messing with my brain. Just get one. The tone will melt your face.
when he did palm mutting pick technique, i'm like "oh yes this is THE sound!"
I have one of these, awesome tone, real mojo. Highly recommended.
Nice review, but I grow tired of the little couplet about short scales bass (student, small hands...), they are just great basses for anyone, period.
AMEN
Yeah I wouldn't tell any beginner to start out on a short scale bass. They should always start out with the standard 34 inch long scale neck because that's, you guessed it, the standard.
@@McDoinky The standard is an arbitrary norm, you should always play what fit you best regardless of what other people think...because they are not you.
@@nekot9274 it’s not about normality, it’s about practicality. If I were starting out on bass now, I’d want to learn to play what’s considered the standard instrument and be able to learn further from there. I wouldn’t want to rely on the easiest way to do it because it’s not always the best way to do it. Anyone can play long scale, it’s all about technique
@@McDoinky Still cant see a point here, you can have a full career on a short scale plus why align on a arbitrary thing would be practical? Anything you can do on a 34, I can on a 30, so why should that be even easyer, you still need solid tech to do a proper and consistent slap, whatever you are playing. And why not say the same about 42 inch scale, the one of a doublebass that was here before electric bass? Seriously, cant se your point.
Had one but recently parted with it. It went to a good home! Nice bass but neck heavy to me. Just got a Squire Bronco that I LOVE to replace it. 😎👍
I played one of these recently at a local shop, and man, the hype is real with these basses. The pickup sounds amazing, the neck feels so good (not as fat or wide as a P, not as slim as a J bass- the perfect middle ground). There’s a song by All American Rejects called “Gonzo” that this bass absolutely nails the tone of with the flats when you roll the tone down to around 7. It just has such a cool sound and vibe.
I just got a blue one, what a fantastic bass!
I just wrap my guitar stands with a few layers of fabric (cotton), tadaaaa nitro safe!
Great video by the way, I really like your bass reviews. Nice playing, a lot of background information and some personal stories thrown in there to keep it interesting.
Comparison video for this one and the vintera mustang bass would be cool
I thought they banned spraying Nitro in the early 2000's. that was the story about the highway one instruments was that they were assembled in the US in California then trucked down highway one to be sprayed in Mexico. Glad to hear this one is Nitro. Been looking for a nitro sprayed bass and this model in particular.
Nice playing!!
George Alexander of The Flamin' Groovies used a Mustang Bass on their early albums and he had one hell of a sound. Tina Weymouth and Jill Cunniff also used them.
that's a killer tone
I look forward to your videos Anthony
Nice bass. I play an American Performer Mustang. Love it. I do the palm mute when my band plays "Just What I Needed".
Palm muting rules!! lol! Thanks for watching - Anthony
The flat slap sounds pretty dawn good to me
I love flatwound slap. That’s the early Sly Stone and Chic sound.
I had my hands on a Mustang Bass. It feels somewhat thicker than my Squier Bronco Bass.
66 dude lollipop tuners major giveaway 😜
I have never had none of the problem that people have said I would seince I got mine in 73
thank you for the cool review! Is this bass better than the american performer mustang?
It's not better or worse, just different. I bit rounder and warmer than an American Perf. The pickup sounds and feels a bit underwound, so there is that nice natural compression. It's strung with flats too so that adds top the warmth. It's a little chunkier in the neck profile too.
@@EmpireMusicPgh Thanks, that helps! I am considering one of them - and frieds say, I should not pay so much for a mexican bass ;-)
Anyone that has tried this one: does it have a neck dive? Thanks!
If they them left handed. It would sell like crazy
Do these come with sharp fret ends? (Like most of the road worn strats/teles)
They shouldn't, however when any bass/guitar is stored in dry environments, that can happen. In our experience it's rarely a sign of poor manufacturing, but a sign of poor storage. Either way, a good tech/luthier can handle that work. Thanks for watching - Anthony
@@EmpireMusicPgh thank you, Anthony!
Wtf did they messed up setting the neck? Compare the distance to the edge from E and G string...
Yeah, looks odd. Maybe it's just the camera angle or the nut may not be cut properly. Need to look closely before buying a guitar these days.
It seems to me that these killer machine (Mustang JMJ Bass) is better than the American Performer brother.
Depends on the sound you want. I've had both. Generally, I preferred the American Performer. Much more versatile. If, on the other hand, I wanted that specific sound the JMJ has... well, it was better in that case.
I like the sound, but don't want to pay NEW prices for a very USED looking bass. Gimme the MIA.
Can’t wait for beard “fashion” to die out.
You ok mate?
@@jimboobism an excellent question. I’m working on it!
The features are,Its a fender.It sounds good or not.Case closed.
