Fender Vintage Mustang Bass

[jorisj]

Hello, 

I am currently eying a 1967 Mustang Bass from Andy Baxter's shop, but I was wondering if 2500 pounds is a realistic price for a Vintage Mustang Bass or not? 

I have seen some go on this platform for 1200, but also for 2200. And the one on his site looks in very nice condition. 

FYI: I am based in Belgium, and vintage Mustang offering is quite limited here...

I've not seen a vintage Mustang priced that highly before...but then again I've not seen one that old for sale either so it could be a fair price.

If you like the bass but not the price why not contact the shop and haggle? You never know.

Andys basses are retail prices

i sold a 67 for £1200 two years ago

i sense that the popularity of mustangs has increased, along with their prices since then

Ok, many thanks! I’ll just wait for one to pop up here then. I can understand prices go up, but paying double in 2 years time is a bit much 😉

It’s not really fair comparison. Basschat is all private sellers, Andy Baxter is a dealer, you would expect to pay more.

‘67 + two years instrument inflation from above private pricing + dealer pricing + custom colour = £2500 about right IMO

Would it be cheaper privately, almost certainly, but you have to wait and know where to look
