I know, it was a tough call. Itās a fantastic guitar I would highly recommend to anyone. I am pretty convinced itās the best guitar you can buy under $1k. Or even at $1k.
But I just havenāt put the time in in months.
Ooh, Reverb Japan is taking off. Nice to have a viable competitor to Mercari that isnāt as garbage as YahuOku.
Ok, hereās a deal I might regret
Selling Arturia V Collection 8, $60 USD. You can use this to upgrade to 9 on the cheap, or 10 when it comes out. Or just use it as is, itās awesome.
I no longer need it as I am covering it with other synths now.
For reference my current upgrade price to VC9 is $99USD during Black Friday ($199 normally). The new price for VC9 is $299 during Black Friday ($599 normally). But really 8 is great on its own, comes with dozens of classic synths.

Updated my post above.
This is a case of exchange but your opinion would be appreciated.
I have a Fender Mustang PJ from 2017 MIM. Itās a bass I really like and itās tone could be described as a short scale P-Bass.
I have a person who is interested in exchanging it for a Fender Road Worn 50s Precision Bass, which as far as I can see has really positive reviews, even people who consider it the best bass MIM. I will have a chance to try it out since my only concern is that the neck is hefty with itās 1.75 inches of width.
What do you think?
Make sure you can make peace with the neck, and, adjusting the truss rod from the heel (loosening the strings/neck each time).
P necks can be a no-go for some.
Road worn is not my thing but if you like it, itās probably a good trade. But you would need to really like it because you already like your current one a lot. Try and play it as long as possible to see.
If you really like your current one, frankly I would recommend keeping it
Thatās a really good point! No, Iām not thrilled having to do that but it ought to be acceptable. My main concern is the width of the neck though. I have a Squier Special Precision bass and what I love about it is the 39mm jazz neck.
Try playing it. The big neck lends itself to a different groove while playing, you will love it or hate it. No one can say if you will like the neck or not but you.
I canāt say I like it because of the reliced appearance but it doesnāt bother me either. I like the Nitro finish though. I definitely have to play it for a while before I decide. Thanks!
I completely agree. If that neck is too wide I prefer to keep my light, small and easy to play Mustang. It will have to do with how it feels and sounds, more than the looks. Thanks!
Kind of ironic. I want to restart B2B and get my skills back after my injury, but Iām on the fence. I have these beautiful basses to play, but I want to use one and I am down my Mustang with the Novack pups and my Fender Telebass, which is a 50s precision body, 70s precision neck, and wide range humbucker pickup.
The mustang is so easy to play, the tele is like drinking a cold beer on a hot day, I canāt decide. I hope you fare better with your decision.
The thing about the P neck is feel. There is no fingerboard, the frets are directly on the neck wood, and you just feel connected to the music with it. The Mustang neck is easy and comfortable, easy to play. The P neck is not as easy to play, but you just want to feel those notes ring on it, and speed is not the goal. The P neck is more tactile.
Two completely different experiences.
Update, V Collection 8 is sold.
Currently selling Yamaha Vocaloid 6, $150.
A 1.75" P neck is a way different beast than what is essentially a Jazz neck width. Tread carefully. Personally, I wouldnāt go for it, but only you can tell if it works for you.
Thank you for making me think this over again. I understand what you say about the Mustang vs Telebass. Perhaps you should make it easier on yourself after the injury and use the Mustang for less strain and you can always use the Tele for shorter periods. If one gravitates on and on to a particular bass one should not let it go. What you say about the neck is interesting. I will pay attention to that.
Whatās really happening in my case is that thatās the bass I wanted to buy before buying the Rascal but the owner never answered. I donāt regret it, I really enjoy it the Rascal but I canāt afford buying the P-bass for $1,000.00 and heās interested in the Mustang. But out of the Rascal, Mustang and Squier P-bass the Mustang is my favorite with just about any strings I put on it. Kind of ironic is that my three basses are 39mm at the nut and I wish I could exchange the Squier for the Road Worn because a fat neck would make a nice difference.
I had a 43mm bass and I liked it and 1.75/44.5mm is not a great difference but certainly a huge difference compared to 39mm. I will tread carefully! I donāt want to regret it. I would never go for it without trying the RW with a cold head. Thanks!
Expense wise the price of the RoadWorn is less than a new Fender Player MIM and hard to find. The 2017 Mustang has been going down in price since Fenderās last Mustang reissue.
But it really is all about the feel of the instrument. Iām not a collector.
