*SOLD* MIJ Fender Mustang CAR competition stripe, near mint £750 London

[Clarky]

Loved this bass so much I went and bought the real deal - a '71 vintage Mustang in competition stripe (NBD thread to come in next few days!).

As regards pricing, competition stripe Japanese Mustangs are much harder to come by than plain fiesta red or oly white reissues and this is in near mint condition. Reverb has them for about a grand (I paid more than my asking price only a couple of months back). At the same sort of price as a Vintera and less than a JMJ  I think this is fair. As a reminder these are based on 60s reissues and so have the skinnier J width neck.

Weighs 8 pounds, plays and sounds fabulous. Wearing TI flats (eagle eyed will spot that it has also had LaBella Mustang flats on, but I have swapped them on to my incomer). No dedicated gigbag but I will improvise with something gigbag-ish and ensure its safely packed if post is required (£20 UK; £65 ex-UK)

Did you take a photo of the back and whereabouts in London are you please?

@Sparky MarkJust took these pics. Plus one of the grizzled, probably 40 y/o Mustang-sized hard case my incoming '71 arrived in which could be used to safely transport the MIJ Mustang.

I am just south of Hammersmith Bridge

Would do £725 plus post with the Ernie Ball Slinkies fitted (and I get to keep the TI flats)

[nottswarwick]

Nice, if I had £725 I’d be having this. Good luck with the sale.

[Clarky]

Oops, the post above was supposed to say £725 including 48 hour post with Slinkie rounds fitted

This is now Sold
