I'm a producer who moonlights as a touring bassist, & I got a CV Mustang initially just for the comfort of the shorter scale, & Phil is totally right on. It sits perfectly in every mix. Every sound engineer loves my bass. I got rid of my P Bass & use the Mustang exclusively now.

I played bass pro for around 20 years, 95% on P bass or a custom 34" fretless. I would sometimes use a Hofner Beatle for session work if they wanted that particular sound. Now that I'm old, I sold off the 34" basses and am just using 30"s; a Hofner and a Fender Bronco with a '70 J Bass pickup.

I fell in love with the mustang bass the day I saw Air open for radiohead at outside lands. Nicolas godin was using the mustang bass on a bunch of songs and his sound was amazing. After that I started noticing a ton of different artists using them and began recognising the sound in songs. I've wanted one ever since and still don't have one 😢

I got a Mustang and chopped the head off. It's shorter than all my guitars except my Ibanez Ichi10 now, and I LOVE it. Can confirm, very easy to mix and easy for a guitar player to play.

I just got a '77 Mustang in stock, and when I tested it out, I arrived at this exact same conclusion. It is so cool! Almost hate to sell it.

I'm still a Danelectro fan. Had a 66' bass six, which is just a baritone tuned down. Plus. If you can get your hands on a longhorn body, then you get those extra...maybe useless...frets. And they just look cool. A very important feature that.

I started on a P Bass type bass. Then I played my friend’s terrible pawn shop warped neck fake Hofner. The action was awful, but I could just fly around. Now I just have 1 bass and it’s a short scale. Also have a 27” baritone that I mostly got to restore, but it’s fun too.

I think a baritone guitar would be quite the opposite tone. A lot of sustained harmonics. Sounds great too though!

@@maxonmendel5757 Poor you. It is easy removing one knob and rewiring it. Ask a repair shop. When you like a bass, and you dislike the wiring, you can do something. With a bit of luck, you may like the pickups unmixed better.

@@acledfloyd I have a set of flats I could put on it, but haven't done so yet. I've been getting great results out of the round wound strings the previous owner installed. Plus, at the time I bought it, my j bass had flats. I use the hofner for recording a lot and get great results with it running through an acoustic b100 or my old fender vibrolux and mic'd with an re20 and sometimes a room mic for 60s garage rock sounds. I use a di sometimes too, but it's more fun miking a cab. Long winded answer, but maybe I'll try those flats on it soon 🙂
