[@BreakupBass]

Both are great basses but I like the more present midrange on the Mustang.

[@jackhourston9203]

Never looked back after getting my sire

[@ShoopityDoopity]

Man both bridge pickups sound so good

[@jonathanchevallier7046]

Great comparison. Thank you.

[@druidomagixx3298]

Sympa le concept. GG

[@HereComeMrCee-Jay]

Great comparison buddy, thanks.

[@kriko8790]

please make a video about sire jazz bass fender jazz with same woods

[@Heykiran90]

Oof that’s a tough choice!! They both sound great.

[@parkivich]

Interesting, I like the individual pick up sounds of the Sire more but the blend of the mustang more. I had that same Mustang for a while and put Seymour Duncan in it. That's how I learned I don't really like Seymour Duncan pickups!

[@jasondorsey7110]

Fender's '62 reissue split coil works really well in a mustang pj, I paired it with a fender gen4 noiseless and replaced that cheap toggle switch while I was at it...that gave it alot more note clarity and also volume balance between the pickups than the duncan qp I tried in it before that

[@Axterrix]

Thank you for the test. Question of tastes, but I own a Sire and I’m going to switch to fender Mustang pj

[@funk80funk70]

Magnifique m'y friend from tunisia africa

[@inuyashaspet]

Was the string height setup for the Mustang lower than the Sire?

[@DavidCaraccio]

Slightly lower yes, that was the setup out of the box for both basses 🔧

[@MrXTakato]

maximum the hormones remastered please with tabs 😩👊 love your work since long ago

[@densel83]

fender slap the best

[@markopem]

Fender Mustang by a mile. Rounder tone and loads more grit to it.

[@Ordash]

Pardon? The Mustang is much thinner and midrangy than the sire which sounds incredible. You can really hear the kind of cheap thriftwood they use at Fender nowadays. Try not listening on your cellphone.

[@markopem]

@@Ordash I am listening on my studio monitors and I still think that the Mustang is rounder, punchier and richer in frequencies. I am a Sire owner also.
