Traded - 1976 Fender Mustang Bass £1500 Fareham

[Trumpetvest]

Lovey short scale mustang bass. 

Refinished natural, I think it was originally Oly white judging by a little bit of paint in cavity. 

All else is original. 

I am really a guitarist that has been filling in on bass so was perfect transition. 

Small Bass with a big sound! 

No hardcase but I have something that fits. 

Collection from Fareham, Hampshire.

Lovely - I thought the ash bodied ones were generally natural, sunburst, or blonde rather than painted, so it may have been refinished white at some later point?  Much nicer in natural anyway. 👍

 

When I started on bass at 16 (as a young punk in 1977) my Dad bought me the only bass tutor I ever owned; “Bass Guitar” by Jim Gregory and Harvey Vinson, with the inevitable flexi 45rpm disc - which I still own.   It pictured a really funky looking dude playing a Mustang- I so wanted one, but closest I ever got was a Kalamazoo KB1 Mustang copy ....🙁

 

GLWTS!

Thanks for the info, it has defo been refinished more than once, some horrible blue in the mix too, see attached a few inside shots.

That really is a lovely thing. As a recent short scale convert, this really tickles my GAS receptors. GLWTS.
