SurroundedByManatees Posted November 24, 2024 Posted November 24, 2024 (edited) Relisted: 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 want 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 very comfortable playing bass. Weight is 3,6kg on my kitchen scales. The bass is fitted with LaBella flats. The best choice for these basses imo, they bring a lot of character. Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. Without any doubt this is the best Mustang Bass I've ever played. Though I have to offer it for sale due to other choices/purchases. It probably will be withdrawn from sale if I manage to sell some other stuff first. €4500 Partial trades are negotiable; fiver with narrow stringspacing, Modulus Quantum 34" scale or earlier Flea, stratocaster/jazzmaster or other offset guitar, Rickenbacker 4001, Epiphone sj200 acoustic... otherwise surprise me. The only 1-1 trade (or even with added gear from my side) I'd be interested in could be a '60s (refin) fender P or J. 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. Edited 13 hours ago by SurroundedByManatees 7

When I was looking for a Stingray it appeared that all nice ones at a realistic price were in the UK! The import killed it for me though. Eventually I found a pretty unique one (original inca silver '87) from my birth year
