I’m loving it @TNKA36 Brian
It’s got a beautiful mellow tone with just the neck pickup. Just right for blues or ballad stuff.
Slap both pickups on and add the new pedal for real gritty drive.
I was just looking at the neck profile today and although it’s deeper than what I’m used to playing I’m finding it really fast .

Wow that looks stunning. This one have been knocked around a bit as you can see! Can you tell me what the black rectangle block on the front is for ? f2|281x500

@Brian.RichardS, it’s a tug bar, it was intended for plucking strings with your thumb. You would need to grab it with your fingers to do so effectively :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t post much here but thought I’d chime in on this one. Arthritis is kicking in a bit and while I can still play the two 34"'s I have, I decided to pick up the 30" Squier Bronco on the cheap just for fun and see how it feels…in transit as I type this.
The short scale bass has intrigued me for quite some time, so I’ll give this a go and see how it feels.

You could also try the Ibanez mikro, it’s really comfortable to play, lightweight and fun! Oh and cheap too

I thought about the Ibanez, but Fender/Squier seems to always take a top spot with me.
I already have a Fender '75 reissue Jazz and a Squier Mike Freeman P , love em, like I said though, the aches in the left hand stretches make it hard to fully enjoy.
Perhaps the Ibanez down the road if the 30" scale suits me. :+1:

That is a bad ass little mustang.
I am not sure how I feel about mustangs. I really need to pick one up and play it sometime. I am not a huge fan of the looks, but I was not immediately seduced by Stingray’s either, it took a little time for me to appreciate the looks, and its my number 1, so this has potential. Just need a music store to stock up and open up so I can get a try at one.

Course, that is an old school fender, probably worth quite a bit more then the squire I would try out. LOL
