Shambo Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Saw it, liked it, bought it, loved it! A short scale Fender Japan Mustang ’66 reissue, in Olympic White with a rosewood board. It’s very light at 3.77kg or 8lb 5oz and incredibly fun to play. Being more accustomed to the usual 34” scale, I zipped around the fingerboard with a great big cheesy grin on my face. I treated it to some new Labella Mustang flats and sourced an XL sized Gator guitar hardcase in which to safely store it. It from circa 2010/11 and aside from its evolution to an off-white colour, looks like new. Unmarked, perfect neck and I suppose it must have some light paint swirling somewhere through being played, but the colour makes it hard to tell. Typical example of high-quality Japanese craftsmanship, it’s a very solid feeling bass. It’s just not getting played though so I’m moving it on. £600 GBP collected from Kingswood, Bristol. Postage in UK is £30 extra. I'll gladly consider interest from mainland EU members who have good feedback and presence. I will post at your cost and exact quotes will be obtained for anyone with a serious interest. All trials are very welcome in Bristol. Payment is by cash or bank transfer.

bassbiscuits Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Cool basses. I have the exact same one. Packs a lot more punch than you might think and certainly not a toy or one trick pony. I love mine. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have a CIJ one exactly like this as well - they're great basses with s lovely slim neck and punchy sound which records really well. I doubt I'll ever part with mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 I don't think this is the right time to be asking couriers to deliver non essentials. Also, I'm not going to be going to the post office for a few weeks or until the coronavirus situation changes for the better. If you want to collect from me in Bristol, and taking in to account the current advice regarding social distancing, this might be possible... maybe we could do the deal in my front garden? Like an illicit drug deal in a Hollywood movie... "Have you got the goods?" "Yeah, have you got the money?" "Yeah. Show me the goods and I'll show you the money"... etc... If you drop the cash and back away then I'll edge forwards and pick it up, count it, stuff it in an airtight bag for at least 72 hours, leave the case on the ground and then back away slowly to go wash my hands. You can pick up the case when I've backed away, whisk it away to the boot of your car for transportation to the bass quarantine of your choice. We can exchange brief pleasantries from a safe distance then go our seperate ways. Or something like that, I'm making this up as a go. I'm bored and stuck indoors. I have no symptoms but that's not the point. Please, by all means, get in touch if you want to express an interest, and I will give you first refusal when some sort of relative normality resumes. I hope you understand. Stay safe everyone. Warmest Regards. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
