Nice video and even nicer song! Can't believe how your channel isn't more widespread, your production quality is massive compared to the average youtube musician.
I did the same mod on my Mustang bass, very pleased with it, I like the look of the pickup covers too. Out of interest is that a Player(1) neck on yours? The yellow Player 2 comes with a rosewood fingerboard I believe & different Fender decal. Nice tunes. 👍
This is a Player I, but it’s a custom color from Sweetwater. They’re still selling these but they’re back to full price so I’m guessing they’re based on the Player II now. They don’t specify; they call it a “Special Edition.” This is Buttercream Yellow, not the Hialeah Yellow that’s a standard Player II option.
Thanks for the video. String spacing on the Player Mustang is 17mm, spacing on the high mass bridge is 19mm. Was that not a problem? To my eye the E and G strings look thrown a little to close too the edge of the neck (which I would not like). Thanks.
I didn’t measure but are you sure about that? The stock bridge I took off the Mustang is identically sized to the bridge I had laying around from a Squier Jazz. I’m not having any issues with the E and G strings when I play it.
@@room34 Actually, the specs from the Fender on the Mustang Bass is not exact. I just put a micrometer on both a Fender Am Jazz bass, a Player II Mustang, and on the actual bridge, they all spec at 19mm.
Yeah… I was cleaning out my studio space the other day and I dug out these bridges. I didn’t measure them but I put the stock Player Mustang bridge and the Squier Jazz bridge up against each other and they’re identical. I wouldn’t be surprised if the traditional Mustang bridge is 17 mm but it does seem like the Player series deliberately uses stock Precision/Jazz specs for the bridge and pickups to make them easier to mod. (Or just cheaper/easier to produce.)
Came for the bridge. Stayed to jam with you. Nice song.

Ah, cool. I’m in the U.K. so Sweetwater is a thing of mystery to me. Bass looks great though, and obviously plays very well.
