NBD - Fender Justin Meldal-Johnsen Road Worn Mustang Bass

[slowjam98]

I’m pretty stoked. I survived a couple delays in production and now have this rad bass in hand. Played it at church this morning and it did not disappoint.

Congratulations! Do you have any opportunity to compare it to a genuine vintage Mustang?

No. I’ve played the new Offset PJ Mustangs and a CIJ. Of the three, this one is the clear winner.

Nice to know, since I have a vintage '66!

Wonder how it compares to the CIJ mustangs. Those were awesome Basses for under 1000

Sweet! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the JMJ if you get a chance to play one.

The CIJs are pretty nice, but they have a 1.5” nut. I prefer the slightly beefier 1.625” on the JMJ.

Very cool! I have an old Hagstrom shortscale and it’s very enjoyable to play.. enjoy the Mustang bass..

That looks so cool congrats

Comes stock with Fender Flats. Groovy. Love the lollypop tuners too. A prized acquisition to be sure. Enjoy.

I started on an Epiphone Viola Bass and I’ve had GAS for a good short scale since I got my P.

Yeah. Those lollipops look great.

Nice bass.
I want one of those, and the orange P/J. drool

Congrats, and Enjoy!

I like the look of the sonic blue/mint pickguard PJ, but the JMJ is the way to go.

Nice bass. Everything JMJ says about this instrument in the little video piece he did for Fender is true!

I’ve got a p bass, a 5 string Ibanez sr and an Ibanez ATK200 along with my short scale..it’s a collection of a little bit of everything.

Agreed.
