Day 60. Two reasons to play a Mustang (or short-scale) bass: First, comfort. The shorter scale is often more comfortable on the hands and has lower tension strings, giving a bouncy feel. Second, sonically. Mustangs have low-end sustain plus a clacky articulation that cuts through dense mixes. Don’t sleep on a Mustang!
