Squier Mikey Way Signature Mustang

[lowendgenerator]

I liked MCR more when Mikey played a P bass. Don't hate me for saying, but this thing looks like a toy.

i personally dig it! saw em live (only because they opened for blink) and i liked the sound. obviously there are other factors but that humbucker should do wonders for the mustang sound

Dunno who he is.. But hot damn, a silver metal flake finish.. Oh.. Hoochy mama!!

Gimme gimme..

Being distracted by work, I also thought this said, “Milky Way”, and didn’t understand how the galaxy got a Sig bass. But I’m Gas’n big time for a Mustang, and don’t like the VM’s neck or color selection much. So, I figure that this was the answer to my Gas. However, I’m not a Sig bass kind of guy, and I have no idea who Mikey is, but this bass may still be in my future, because of the price. I just can’t get to paying $1500 for the MIJ COMPETITION SERIES pony that I really want.

BTW, is silver the only color? That sucks, even though the pic actually looks pretty good.

My Goodness. I'd die for the Black VM Mustang Body with the Mikey Way Mustang Neck.

Rosewood plus humbucker really has my interest. I'd like to hear / play one.

The only thing I find encouraging about this development is the finish. If Squier/Fender starts putting sparkle finishes on big boy basses, I'm all in.

I am not a fan of the Mustang basses, however it looks kinda cool to say the least. I am not going to rip on Mikey or MCR because I dug some of MCR's early stuff, but not so much their newer stuff. Change happens I guess.

I'm with you on that. I'll take out a second mortgage.

I first read this and I thought it said "Milky Way"

"there you go Chewie... always thinking with your stomache"

LMBO!!! I thought the same thing Damn I need a Milky Way now,MMMMMMM


I am really digging the looks of it!!

 

[bassguitarthund]

I'd prefer the Snickers model though.

Snickers are good also, mmmmm....self control....do not need candy bar....need to loose weight..

You know, I'm not a huge MCR fan, they're ok, but I'm not a fan of the Mustang in general. Something about the shape to me just looks a bit off.... But the design on the bass is cool, and i'm sure it will sound at least decent

LOL

I'd rock it for sure. My #1 is a CIJ Mustang... Been craving a humbucker bass lately too.

 

[neljoshua]

Very interested in this bass. I am not an MCR fan, but I really like the look of the instrument.

Has anyone played one of these? How does it sound with the different pickup?

 

[fenderhutz]

If you look at most Squier sig models they are made around bands that are for the "younger" crowd and bands that tailor to them. Makes the kiddies want to go buy the guitar/bass from their favorite rock star lol. Not all of course, but most models.

That being said, I will say it again, this actually looks cool and the humbucker might make it a usable bass and clear up the mud.

 

[Gord_oh]

depending how it sounded out of the box, id consider throwing in a 2 band preamp in it.
dial in the humbucker a bit. or a varitone.

Love the finish, not crazy about it being a Mustang, although to be fair, I've never really played one, so they might rock my world. If my GC gets one in, I'll give it a go. I do wish more companies would release sparkle instruments... been dying for one for a couple years now, but don't want to spend the money to have a bass refin'd.

If they aren't going to include the mutes, I really wish they would cut down the bridge on the reissues... it would look less like something was missing!
