Fender Mustang Club

Not a great picture(s) I'm afraid, but here is my JMJ that arrived yesterday. It needs a set-up, though it's very playable. I can't recall a bass I've owned with more resonance - and that sustain!!!

Mine arrived needing the intonation set , the springs were just floating on the screws.

When I Filled out my customer satisfaction survey stating this , they called me , apologized and refunded me $100.

I'll tell them the same and that I didn't receive a spare black guard in the (oversized) gig bag either. Though I'm in the UK, so doubt they'll be overly concerned.
Customer satisfaction survey? Do they send this after you do the warranty registration?
 
Hi all,
I haven't posted much because there is nothing new. What is with the parts vendors these days? I have tried my best to find a Mustang PJ control panel for this build and all I find is Jagstang control panels described as Mustang control panels. I am sorry but my PJ has a Mustang PJ Pickguard and a Jagstang panel ain't gonna cut it. Scalloped I don't need. Right now it is at the metal smiths being operated on and hopefully it will be home soon for painting. Frustrating!
Here are a few updates pics.
Any info would be appreciated.

Right, lets try again then. I need a number!

Are these working? Like I say, no great phone pics - sorry :oops:

@Thrupnibits - You are #114. Welcome to the Remuda! Fine looking 'Stang... love the pearl white on black.

(and an honorable mention to @Doctor Morbius for pasting your pics also. We have a friendly helpful herd indeed. ;-)

It's rough out there! Esp going even slightly non-stock, be it an extra pot slot or a different finish (I'm trying to find someone who can do a nickel finish, subtle but relevant to my mods). I think getting a smith on the job is actually super cool, though. We're going to have to adapt to the times, and skills like that are worth the investment maybe more than ever.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I've only seen the three hole Mustang plates on ebay and not sure what other plates you're looking for, but there's different colors, vintage and plain-jane chrome plates. If you've got the jack on the side couldn't you make one of these work?
