@@intothemystic1795 I don't think that's really fair, part of the fun of watching him is how much joy he has playing so many different basses, he's so genuinely into it. He recently tried out a Harley Benton guitar where he was making the most incredible faces over the meaty P-Bass tone. Of course there is some overlap between P-Bass and Stingray tones but not as much in this case.

I was really hoping Squier would release a classic vibe mustang bass and they did! I remember they had the vintage modified version a few years back but they didnt make them for very long and I believe they only came in black and sunburst. This bass is definitely on the top of my "gotta get one" list.

Lastly, they should really bring back the Japanese Mustangs that are finished in the original competition colours. The racing stripes make them look amazing!

Interesting! I didn’t think it was that fragile feeling, but mustangs always feel a little bit less robust than a P etc just for the fact there’s less wood. However, I wouldn’t hesitate to take this out or use it based on fragility - Fender style builds are always more robust than they should be!

one thing you need to know is that you need to buy MEDIUM scale strings for da mustang bass! i learned the hard way. that strings-through-body bridge means short scale strings are too short and they'll typically start tapering (the part which should go around the tuning peg) at or before the nut on the lowest string.

Another great vid Tyler. As usual with low end basses, the tone control has little effect through 80% of its range. Little sound difference from 100 to 50%. . A handsome instrument for sure -very tempting, but how is the neck profile vs the MIM Mustang (which I've owned)?

Leonardo 877 I haven’t played the flea. I am a sucker for the Am Original series and their feel. The stacked pots on the Flea will give you access to a wider range of tones, many of the combinations I like. Tough one. I would really have to play both next to each other, but the Flea does seem to have a lot of those American Original features whilst being considerably cheaper. I would tentatively say the Flea, but I would get both, see which I preferred and send the other back (or try both out in store). Fenders really vary so much from example to example because of the inconsistency of wood and the number they build. You have to hunt and play as many as you can to find the best Fenders, no matter which country it was born in!

I haven't played the Flea, and I think that they both sound similar, because of the similar spec. ... But considering the price, I bought the AM Or for the Case, the American quality, and because It is not the "Flea" bass, It's mine. (Don't get me wrong, I love Flea). It seems more professional, that's It. Anyway, I'm in love with It!! 😍😍😍

Kalli De Baca definitely a good place to start! My only concern would be that it’s short scale, which makes it easier in the short term, but longer term most basses are made long scale, so switching to a bigger bass down the line might feel difficult. However, short scales are definitely in fashion at the moment and sound as good as longs scale, just with a slightly different flavour. T
