I just acquired this Mustang PJ. I'd like to get Mustang Club number if you have any left.

View attachment 2933898 View attachment 2933897 I tried my best (this is my 4th shortie attempt), but I guess being tall and lanky, shortie necks just aren’t comfy for me. I liked the mustang better than the Gretsch, Epi, and squier I tried, but I just can’t physically bond with them. I seem to have that prob with jazz necks too. I really wanted to keep her as she matches my old Japanese p bass, but it would just be a wall hanger.

i'm not quite sure why, but i get the feeling you REALLY like the color orange...

PS: If looking for a good practice amp, spend the extra $20 and get the Fender Rumble 40...don't waste your money on the tinny-sounding Rumble 25. This is the 25 in my study, which is ok for home practice, but I have a 40 for a practice amp in the studio...much better. (and either my Rumble 500 or just the Ampeg SCR-DI pedal, whichever is needed, for gigs)

Are your flats through body, or through bridge? And which flats? About to get some flats for my 'stang. Was thinking Chromes because I can get them for a good price and I like their feel.

I put Chrome ECB81s on the new PJ Mustang at first, but found them a bit too light/bright after a week of moderate play. I'm not used to light gauge strings, yet. The Chromes might have worn in fine, but I swapped in a set a of GHS Precision Flats, which sound/feel warmer to me, not so light feeling to my touch. The GHS G string was too bright initially, not evenly balanced with the other three, despite PU adjustments, etc, but under steady play is finally starting to settle down.

I use TIs on my Pbass, but am trying (sigh) keep the overall cost of Short-Stuff down, if possible. Still gotta get a case for it...

Greetings. I have a Mustang PJ on its way. Please help me out with Strings. My first short scale bass.
What is the correct/best length strings used on the Mustang PJ ? I've been researching .. there is a lot of choices.
*This bass only strings though the back of the bridge, unlike the older or different model Mustangs that allows stringing through the body also.

I usually use DR LoRiders SS on my Sadowsky Jazz and like the SS and the Nickel but DR doesn't seem to make a short set that are Hex Core... I like the stiffer feel of the hex.
Also, I sorta like Flats but almost always go back to round wounds. The Mustang PJ is supposed to have a deeper fatter bottom maybe do to the scale making the strings feel looser?

I got the Sonic Blue which isn't my fav but the other colors don't trip my trigger .. so .. I would like to change the pick guard to maybe a Tort or Black .. let me know whatcha think. Any pictures would be nice if you have any with the Sonic Blue and different pg beside the Mint. I've read the Mint throughs off the blue quite a bit.

Thank you if care to reply.
