NBD

So back around the end of October I was in a discussion with my TB friend @dalkowski about a Squier Competition Mustang that was in the classifieds. We were both thinking about should we/shouldn't we buy it. He went for it, a smooth transaction and life went on.

But that inspired me, and my Squier Competition Mustang came in today. But where he got the blue with white stripes I really wanted the orange with red stripes. Put some flats on it, strap locks, and changed the knobs from black to red. It plays very nice and I didn't have to mess with the setup at all. I bought it on presale from CME. I really wish it had a matching headstock though. And I could not get a set of speed knobs on the pots either, have those on the rest and really like them.

I did shoot a video of the unboxing in case of damage, but all was fine. It was well packed, safe and sound.

The new bass.
