Everything else on the page was normal. That's the usual Sonic Blue.
No pics of the gig yet but could not resist staging my American Performer with Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing in the back.
For the Halloween night I added some pumpkin stickers

I saw this this morning, for anyone interested. I already have a JMJ and a white PJ - I can't justify a 3rd one

That is very nice... too bad (for me) the Canadian dollarette makes it too pricey.
I note that MF (again) can't get the date of the launch of the original Mustang right. 1966, not 1964.

I meant absolutely no disrespect towards that Rumble 40 at all. My reference was that technology moves at the speed of light these days and I need to catch up with what has come out recently. I may just have to wander towards the Rumble group and read a few past posts. Thank you for the input.

Fender web site shows the wrong year as well. They say 1964 but for what I read on Wikipedia the Mustang bass was designed by Leo Fender in 1965 and officially issued in 1966.

Last saturday I was in a music gear shop and asked some info about the Vintera Mustang truss rod adjustment.
They had not the bass available in the shop, so my only source of information was the sales guy who told me that on the Vintera Mustang one should remove the neck to adjust the truss rod, which I find quite annoying.
Can anybody confirm or was the sales guy wrong?

Of course, Bob, no offense taken. You'll always be a Rumbler, no matter what.
You're right about that! The high tech Rumbles are, indeed, amazing. I know you're familiar with the Rumble Club, but take a look at the Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 thread for those amps. And checkout the Stage & Studio manual!
But, on a Mustang note, how about that Sunburst with maple fretboard on CME?!? I hear that baby calling my name.

The truss rod access is in the traditional spot, so you may have to remove the neck(or loosen the bolts).

Really? No one else likes the maple fretboards of the CME Exclusives? I hear the siren song of the Sunburst. Of course, I'd have to get a proper tort pickguard.

I like it a lot!
I could not reach the web page thru your link, but from this here:

Looks great and I would love to get me this other Mustang PJ.
I will contact CME to know if they ship to Italy.
I just don't get why Fender produce these Mustangs with maple fretboards only for exclusive runs, it seems to me that maple fretboards are quite appreciated by the Mustang bass players and Fender could sell many more if they were in their standard production line.
Just my opinion, maybe I could be wrong.

I like all of those. I wouldn't consider getting the pink for myself, but I'm sure there's a market for it.
I have the Squire VM in this color - SB / black PG - but with a single Duncan Mustang pickup. Love everything about it!Really? No one else likes the maple fretboards of the CME Exclusives? I hear the siren song of the Sunburst. Of course, I'd have to get a proper tort pickguard.

Hey fellas, my near-mint Oly White Pawn Shop Mustang is up for sale in the Classifieds. I hate to leave the club, but she's just not getting the love after I added a P Bass to the stable, so I think it's time she found a new home.
Are you still giving out numbers? After trying and returning a MIM Mustang last year, I came across a CIJ Mustang made in about 2006 - pretty close to new condition. I’m using D’Addario tapes and I dialed in the setup and intonation - very impressed with how stable it has been. Sound is great and I am bonding with it more each time I play. Even though I‘ve been playing under two years, I have really enjoyed the experience of working with and playing this bass. I think it will be a keeper for sure!
Here are the pics - posted earlier as a NBD - the tuner peg isn’t missing - just offset from the camera:
Ready for church this morning!
