NBD! Fender Mustang

[Camaro69]

Nice Mustang! Note that since these are strung through the body, they usually take "medium" scale strings. One exception is Thomastik. Their "short" scale sets are really mediums (34" ball to silk).

I put the E off my SG with room to spare

You said it. I started down the short scale path due to arthritis, and I wasn't even an old fart yet... They definitely help.

to the OP: Congrats! It's a sweet machine. Mustangs are great fun! Is the humbucker on the Pawn Shop model coil-splittable?

GT

No but that gives me an idea

I was recently tempted to buy a Squier version of this as it looks a lot like my Mustang guitar...
I passed as it didn't fit in with my budget or my needs--but still--cool basses, aren't they?

Enjoy!

I've joined the short scale club after struggling for years with 34" and 35". I'm gassing for one of those Mustangs now!

Very cool, very easy to play. But it sounds great, so bonus all around

I have several nice 34" basses, but SS and mediums are in my future. And its sexy

Im gassing for a mustang myself. Im told the pawn shop model sounds similar to a p bass? I purchased a new sg last year and was amazed at how wide the tonal range is. The sg is not just a mudbucking bottom dweller anymore!

It sounds similar I believe due to the pick up location, re very close to P location.
It however sounds "thick" like you would expect out of a humbucker, but it is much clearer and cleaner than a EB mudbucker.

Clear as mud right?
