Help!! Which Mustang Bass?

[SeanBinpa]

I am considering buying a new, high end Mustang bass. The ones that I am considering are the:

- Fender Justin Meldal-Johnsen (JMJ) ROAD WORN MUSTANG BASS (MIM) $1,100-ish

- Fender American Performer (USA) $1,300-ish

- Vintera '60s Mustang Bass (???) $1,000-ish

- Nash M-63 (USA) $2,450-ish

Besides the obvious dollar differences, any thoughts from this community on the pros & cons of each?

I can tell you that the JMJ and Vintera appear to be the same instrument overall. The
American Performer has a grease bucket circuit, and a slimmer neck profile.

The Nash is really neat, but out of my price range.

There is a very nice video review of all four current Fender Mustang Bass models on YouTube.
It’s in Italian, but it compares the Player PJ, the Vintera, the JMJ and the American Performer models.



I don't understand Italian, of course, but the reviewer plays with fingers, pick and slap on each model. Nice comparison of the tone of the four models (with their stock strings).
