New Fenders coming. Tele Bass, Comp Mustang and

So all inaccuracies confirmed. How does it play and sound?

[Chris P.]

Compared to the JMJ and my CIJ Competition: The JMJ and MIM have 43.1mm nuts, the CIJ is 38mm. So modern P versus J. The CIJ and JMJ have round necks, this one is flatter. But comfortable. Not to flat. So this new one is as wide as the JMJ bit a bit flatter.

The contours are nice. The headstocks of the CIJ and MIM are thinner and a bit longer than the thick and shorter JMJ.
It feels good, sounds great, I'm a weekend away and monday she'll get's the Labella MUS I already have.

Output seems roughly similar to the JMJ.

I might just have a little GAS for a matching pair of competition burgundy Fender Vintera II Mustangs.

That Olympic white '60s P Bass is singing to me. I've built approximate '60s-looking P Basses so nice for Fender to finally make a MIM '60s P.

[morrow]

There's a Vintera Bass VI too!

[Pilgrim]

I'd rock any of those 'Stangs.  I've also been tracking prices on used Rascal basses, but they've been in a range from excessive to ludicrous.

The lipstick pickup Rascal?

The lipstick pickup Rascal?

Yep, the one that's kind of a green metallic.  I just think they look cool.

[Dave W]

Yikes! I just looked at used Rascal prices. And to think, I sold mine 8 years ago for less than I paid.

[morrow]

Yup,  they cut the run and then everyone wanted one.

Isn't that how it usually works?  But those prices are silly.  Until recently, I hadn't seen one on Ebay for under $1000.

Those MIC Fender Coronado and Starcaster basses are starting to get silly on the used market as well.
