Fender PJ Mustang

[Christcr]

Just a heads up for those of you who have been thinking about getting a Mustang PJ. My main bass is now the American Performer Mustang, but the PJ is a great bass as well. I was nosing around on Sweetwater's website and noticed a significant discount on their exclusive colors for this weekend: buttercreme/maple, tidepool/pao ferro, surf green/pao ferro. So now might be the time if you're so inclined and gassing for a Mustang.

My new buttercreme will be here Thursday (that tidepool looks hot too, but I wanted a maple board). Like I REALLY need another bass. I couldn't resist at that price--they are great little basses. Insta-GAS strikes again...

I'm extremely happy with my 2018 Fender Mustang PJ Bass. Having played regular electric six string guitars for over four decades, I found the fret spacing between frets extremely difficult to master on my regular 2014 Fender Precision Bass. My wife supplied the answer: "What good is the best and most popular bass in the world if it's difficult for you to use, and you're not able to play it as you want to?" Please understand, being able to play what you want to, the way you want to, and with the desired tone, moving to a different scale bass is NOT a step down. My first bass was an Epiphone EB-0. I could play it just fine, but with the single "Sidewinder" pickup, I didn't always have the tone range that I wanted. The tone pots on the Epiphone EB-0 are a bit limited. In my case, the Fender Mustang PJ bass was the answer to my dilemma. Then I moved to the Fender American Standard Precision Bass. The Precision was just too much for my small hands. The Mustang Bass PJ was the answer!
