Very comfortable and fun to play. Sounds fantastic after changing the strings.
This is the second bass that I've owned. After starting on the Harley Benton JB-75, I wanted something lighter and more comfortable. The Mustang ticks those boxes. It's a lot of fun to play and easy to reach across the fretboard. If you're a one-finger-per-fret player, this really makes a difference.
It's also a lovely looking instrument with no cosmetic issues to mention.
In my earlier review I mentioned some issues with intonation and tone - specifically above the 5th fret there would be weird metallic overtones and just didn't sound good. It turns out to have been a strings issue. I've been on a bit of a journey to find good strings and can wholeheartedly recommend La Bella 760FS-S for flats or Daddario EXL170S rounds. The latter sound particularly fine after a few months of playing.
So, I highly recommend the Mustang - just factor in a set of strings and replace the horrible factory strings immediately!
