Dubs Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 very nice I'd love a bass with a bit of history - my oldest bass is only 8 years old! When i saw the title of this thread i just thought - I wish i had a 1976 Mustang like that! Quote
SiOfBass Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 stunner, i was watching this on ebay just to see how much it wound up as. when you get it youl have to describe to us how it sounds, maybe it sounds similar to a P but for some reason i cant see its being capable of such levels of thump... very nice bass Quote
Tee Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 My '77 Mustang (maple neck) is quite P-like. Surprisingly so. I normally play a P-bass btw. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Sweet! - good price too. Nice one - I love mustangs Quote

onehappybunny Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 thanks fellas - will let you know how it goes. Should be picking up bass next week. I think Mustangs are all short scale and I'm hoping for that 'P-ish' sound Quote
Tee Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Mustangs are short scale. Of course, it's not a P-bass sound but it is similar imo. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 That's right Mustangs are 30", but they have a string-thru bridge whereas musicmasters are toploaders. I find that 32" TI flats work best on my CIJ mustang and it sounds rich & punchy, very much like a precision, probably due to the split pickup. It looks like the plastic pickup covers are missing from yours. Quote
