how do you like the hot rails pickup? I'm building a mustang, and I'm wondering if I should use an old hot rails pickup I have lying around. I'd be using it for in the sort of style you play in (Rowland S Howard type things), not for RAWk nonsense.

hotrail is the only pickup for the bridge of a mustang.

My 69 re-issue, changed the pickguard. Never got round to the pickups/covers. Played my first gig with it, love the feel of it, hate the tremolo

All Japanese. The burgundy mist and sunburst ones have switched pickguards too (oh and the hot rails is no longer in there either)

96 with lace sensors in there (silver in the neck, emerald in the bridge)

'cause i use a fender amp, reverb and lot of overdrives and fuzz. I still have a bright sound not fat like gibson marshall.
my band: www.myspace.com/surfer.rosamusic
but the older stuffs are made with a mustang 65 RI from 90's with a wizard CBS repro pickup on bridge.

After my tax refund came I finally got my Vista where I wanted it........ New Wilkinson Deluxe tuners, GFS Vintage 59 in the neck (alnico V, 8.2K), GFS Vintage Extra Hot in the Bridge (alnico V, 11.2K) and push pulls for the Vol and Tone pots... The tone is coil spliting and the Vol is a strangle switch....and to go with the ambrz had to do Orange Drops all the way around

I really like these pick-ups, they sound great split for singles...it amazed me actually...

Thanks! I'm actually considering selling the Mustang atm, got a buyer lined up. Just can't decide if i want to part with it or not. Never play it, not a fan of the trem and i just generally prefer a Jaguar but i played my first gig on it... damn sentimentality.

Finally was able to show my wife that playing an instrument is fun, finally, after years. She was better able to grasp bass, so we went out and bought her a bass... at 5'0", we needed something shortscale. So, we hit the Fender webpage to look over Mustangs and Jaguar SSes; she really liked the CAR Jag, so we got it!

Absolutely lovely instruments, for SO little cash. They're a great buy.
I'm all the more upset that Fender doesn't make the Jaguar Bass a shortscale. It really should have been from day 1, not just a glorified Jazz Bass.
