I just don't get why they don't make the headstock smaller on these short scales. It is bound to dive with that massive head and IMO throws off the aesthetic of the bass.
Get a set of La Bella 760F MUS short scale flat wound strings that are made specifically for short scale Mustang basses with the string through body design. If you use anything else, you WILL have fret buzz and intonation problems.
There's definitely some hum from the single coil, my tone is usually at 0% which helps out, but there's always a bit. I havent had trouble with the strength of the pickups, i do use an amp with a pssive/active input tho. All in all, I like the bass a lot so far. Really suits the country style I'm playing at the moment!
How does your bass compare with the Mustang bass Japanese reissues? Is the neck as slim? I use LaBella SS Mustang flatwounds on mine (early 2000s CIJ model)...the sound is great! Your bass looks great...I still can't see how they call it burgundy!
I have not gotten to try out the MIJ models so sadly I cannot compare. I have a pair of the same flatwounds waiting for my next string change 😃 On the color, apparently it's because burgundy is used, but it's covered with another layer of paint
Found your review on Reddit. Great review, clear and to the point. No annoying gimmicks and bits. Look forward to seeing more
Sorry I bummed the demo, Next one will get even better hopefully!!
@@MicBassLightsnot at all! It’s such a nice change from the over production videos,
What a great no bullshit review. Subscribed!

Love the thumbnail! 😂
I purchased the same exact bass back in February. I also thru on some flatwounds and it plays great. The QC is on-point. 👍😎
Good review. I’ve had the orange one for a few months now. Mine’s pretty heavy for a mustang but overall happy with the purchase.
Thankyou! Perhaps I'll add a weight section to the next one, it's good to know what to expect!

I must try these. La bellas are hard to get where I am ):
@@MicBassLights Try ordering them online. I don’t have them locally either.
Chill unpretentious presentation
Cool video, straight to the point
Beautiful guitar!!
How do you like this bass? I've heard since people say the pick ups can be weak and there's a lot of hum.

Maybe add copper shielding inside to knock out the hum.
How many frets does it have
19 frets

How does it compare to JMJ mustang bass? Really nice review. Thanks!
I haven't played that one, sorry! I considered buying it originally but chose the vintera 2 because of pickup tests on UA-cam. Hope that helps!
