That is the Fender site that does the job.
I have version Vintage White pickguard with celluloid, a marvel. The neck is fairly close to a Jazz Bass but with a pitch of 30, it's easier to play. The light is nice drawing, we are not obliged to tread to get to play properly. I mounted with Flawound GHS.
I put 9 because there is no gig bag or anything and, because the design is specific, I was obliged to order the box to 185 €! Moreover, this case leaves little hairs on the instrument ... annoying to remove.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice but the back is painted. It really gets me going but everyone will not like. It's like that for the whole series "Classic" Fender.
The finish is beautiful, flawless. Access to the 19 frets is good, but I do not understand this issue from a low ... I do not play beyond the 17th fret.
The balance could be better, the head leans slightly. It's part of the charm of this low, it is not designed to be as this, the more it but the goal is to revive the Mustang Bass.
The sound is very good, fairly close to a Precision (Precision is a microphone) but less pronounced. A huge fishing for such a small instrument. Passive bass, and you plug you play.
SOUNDS
I play rock and pop, a style in which she is comfortable.
The sound palette is not very wide (only one microphone position) but with the tone and volume, there is a way to be satisfied.
Max Tone: good for the crystalline rock.
Min tone: very muffled, blues, jazz.
I played with a Hartke A70 70 watt and a compressor T-Rex Comp-Nova. All sounded good with the Hofner 500 / 1, it goes well with the Mustang.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it yesterday and I love it.
I have not tried the other model before. I wanted this bass and I have.
I like his personality, ease of play I would have liked a gig bag would have been a considerable economy.
I resigned to when you want Frero!
