Amazing footswitch!!

Two buttons as the both have functionality. On the left, it switches channels between clean or distortion. On the right. It switches the effect either on or off.

I love, love this guitar!

I remember when I walked into a guitar store and tried this beaut out of my hands! The glossy neck felt wonderful, the sound was the original "mustang-y" signature sound, easy to play, and I enjoyed playing it for a couple of minutes! And when I took this little on at home, I knew it had to be a special collection. Everything about it is just perfect! Solid red colour, beautiful white pearloid pickups, smooth thin neck, no body contour/belly cut, everything of this guitar resembled the good ol' 1965 mustang.

Only the problem I have with it though is the cheap plastic tuners and the bridge seemed a little bit 'off' in the placement. But other than that, it's amazing!! :-)

Fantasmic Bass! :)

Bought this bass recently, and I have to say it's one of the most comfortable basses I've ever played and held! Very lightweight and compact, it's great for gigs and performing for live concerts. This bass also has a great sound, deep and thumpy (which I've used for recording as well). It has a glossy neck and body finish, so it has a smooth and velvety feeling to it. The frets are evenly spaced and easy to reach for my hands. The tone and volume straight away reminded me of an actual Fender P-Bass (which is also great!). The bass' build quality is very durable and strong. This bass is great for anyone is they would like to have a short scale bass!

Recommend it to everyone.

You must have got the one in a million bass for it to sound good and be playable live. I bought of their basses years ago and it was garbage. The pickups had hardly in wire in them, the bass was so light weight it had no resonance, and the neck was sticky. The pickups were the worst part. So weak sounding, not active controls, and the tone was either on or off. SX, formerly Essex basses, are deserving of their $100 price tags.

@boom762. Which model and year was it? So sorry to hear that though. Mine was just released last year, and over the years I think they have improved their products (that's what I heard when the shopkeeper was selling these basses). But I mean, Fender used to sell a short scale bass, but I don't know why they decided to stop selling them.
