Hello, forumites. I've just sold a bass and I'm looking to purchase a good short scale bass. Specifically, I'm looking for a Fender Mustang Bass RI or Danelectro Longhorn. I can only spend up to $450 shipped (less for danelectro). I'd also be interested in regular scale MIA Ps and Js. Let me know if you've got anything available. Thanks.

Hey, everybody. Just to let you guys know, I received the mustang today (pictured in the link below), and its better than I had hoped. It plays super smooth, though slightly cramped, but I'll get used to it. I thought I might have to change the pickup, but I love it. It's not as bright as a P-bass pickup, with quite a bit of mid-range, and I love it. Well, thanks again for the tips, especially you Gray. I've been wanting one of these ever since I got rid of my longhorn and it couldn't be better.

Congrats! My wife had one of those, but we eventually sold it. I put Labella medium scale roundwounds on it and it sounded sweet! I agree with you, the pickup was much better than I expected. Enjoy!
