99ster Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Time has come to 'thin the herd' (my '65 Jazz went to a new home last week)... Here we have an all original [b]1966 Fender Mustang bass[/b] in Dakota Red finish - complete with a pristine OHSC. It's 43 years old - so obviously has some signs of wear (most notably on the decal - which sometime happens with old Fenders as the water-slide decal was only protected with a very thin top coat of varnish) & some minor corrosion on the chrome of the tuners - but otherwise is in great condition. Plays great & has a lovely rich old tone... Only selling this beauty because I have too many basses & we're in the process of moving house - so some of them have got to go... :| Plenty of other pictures which I can email to you if you're interested. And please ask if you have any questions! [b]£900[/b] - would obviously prefer cash on collection (I live very close to J10 M40) - but can ship if needed... Would also be happy to trade for something/anything interesting (currently looking for a Gibson Thunderbird)!

BarnacleBob Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Looks nice! And a great price to get someone into genuine vintage Fender territory. Thats the thing about 60s fenders, they aint making 'em anymore. BB Edited August 20, 2009 by BarnacleBob

BB[/quote] Thanks BB - you're right it is a great price for a sweet old bass... Edited August 20, 2009 by 99ster
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Good luck with the sale - that is beautiful. I love mustangs and that one looks to be in fantastic condition. If that was daphne blue I would be driving to Oxford right now to see you.
BarnacleBob Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Not a short scale player but probably should be being a bit on the titchy side - is it a 30" or a 32" BB

It is indeed & I always enjoyed the look on people's faces when they hear the sound that comes out of it - great big fat tone. It was a Mustang just like this that Hendrix used to play the bass part on All Along The Watchtower....
99ster Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Forgotten all about that one...2009. Long gone...
