Fender Mustang Bass 1970

For sale is my great vintage ’70 Mustang Bass in a sought after competition red finish with matching headstock.

 

The bass is all original as far as I can tell, and is fitted with an uncommon pinkish pearl pickguard (as sometimes found on instruments from this era).

The serial number says it’s from 1970, which seems consistent with the matching headstock. The pots date back to week 51 of 1970. I don’t have a picture of the pickup bottoms; the pickguard is partly stuck to the body, and I don’t want to force things when taking it off. The solder joints are untouched.

This bass has been used, and it has small damages and usermarks all around. Nothing serious though, it’s in a very good vintage condition considering the age.
All hardware and electronics are functional. Two of the tuners are a bit stiff and might need some lubrication. The neck is straight, adjustable, and the frets are in good condition. I’ve added an angled shim to get the action lower while retaining a good breaking angle. It’s a comfortable playing bass.

For the sale, the bass will be fitted with a set of Ernie ball flats.

Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase.

Asking €4.950

Partial trades are welcome.

 

I am mainly interested in a 5er with narrower stringspacing (ideally a Stingray with maple fretboard and lacquered neck (like early ’90s) but will consider others too. Otherwise, surprise me; basses, guitars, effects pedals..

 

The only 1-1+ trade I'll consider is for a refin 60s (pre-cbs) jazz with additional payment in gear from my side.

I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.

Upfront payment methods are the only ones accepted; cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal as a gift.
