Yeah, I know the regular Precision neck can be a little wider.


I don't why I went into GC to look for a Mustang PJ, but I did, and it turned out to be a good move.
I acquired a Mustang PJ at a local GC. It was labeled a Sonic Blue. NICE TRY! It's an Olympic White, with a really nice grain in the Rosewood Fretboard. It weighs in at 7.8 pounds. A set of ETB92S Nylon Shorts are on the way, as well as a Fender Urban Short Scale Gig Bag.

The Mustang Pawn Shop cost $799., there abouts, and the Mustang PJ is $549. Both are MIM, great QC on the making of them. The Pawn Shop has a larger bridge, strings through the body, and came with a standard Fender Gig Bag. The variations in the two make up a bit of the cost, but I'm not sure why Fender has the PJ at that much of a lower price. My opinion, the short scale Mustang is a better bass between the two. I'm not complaining, this PJ is good. Real good. No effort to play at all, and there seems to be plenty of finger room on the fretboard. It does feel friendlier playing than the Gibson SG Std. as well. Balanced with no neck dive.

Sounds pretty good. 8) The one thing that I liked on the Pawnshop was that humbucker, but I do also like the P and J configuration. I suppose it all depends on what sound you are looking for.

I've been playing with the switch in the third position, the top location. That's using the Precision Pup. It's louder, and lower in tone than the second, center position for both pups, or the third bottom position for the Jazz pup. It's a better setup than I thought it would be. The Humbucking on the Pawn Shop was good, but it was that one sound. The PJ is more versatile overall.

Sounds good. How much of a different sound is it than the P and J configuration of the P Bass? I know short scales sound different, though.
