    Short Scale Fender Mustang vs Steinberger Spirit 4 string (XT-2)

    Hi Folks - looking for opinions on this. I've been thinking about buying an affordable short scale bass like the Fender Mustang PJ bass and I came across the Steinberger Spirit bass.

    Mustang string weight

    I have acquired a 70s string-through Mustang, and I want a beefy old school fat sound out of it. What are your suggestions for string gauge? Is there such a thing as too heavy a set? I probably don't want lights, but what are everybody's thoughts about strings for a fat sounding Mustang...

    NBD = FBD: JMJ Mustang Bass

    My first-ever bass arrived today, making it both a New Bass Day and (by corollary) a First Bass Day for me. I've mainly been a guitar player with a preference for short-scales, so I was initially tempted to pick up a Fender Junior Collection Jazz Bass or a Bass VI. But the fine folks in this...
