Used to have an old Fender Musicmaster, which is very similar to a Mustang. Kim plays one exactly like it in the Bull In The Heather video, actually. I couldn't get into it - I don't really like short scale basses, but I like shortscale guitars. The strings were too floppy with less tension on a shorter neck. Played my roommate's new SG Bass (why did they drop the EB name and rotary pickup selector? lame..) at a party without really using it before and man it was hard to play - used to bashing strings with a lot of tension. Granted, short scale basses are excellent for beginners for the very reason I don't play them.
