Oggy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 [size=3]Hi Basschatters, I just had to share a few pictures of my refurbished Fender (CIJ) Mustang with you all. I bought the Mustang from ‘basshead56’ (Colin) at the back end of May this year; it has to be said that Colin was a gentleman to deal with and went out of his way make sure I got the bass in great condition and well packed from Ireland – thanks Colin. You can see the great condition of the bass when I purchased it from Colin at the following thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=86888&hl=Mustang"]Mustang - As Purchased From Colin[/url] I was well pleased with the sound and playability of the bass when I received it but thought the ‘go faster red’ colour was a little to much for my Blues Band, especially when the ‘six stringer element’ thought it would be a good idea to do Surfin’ Safari now I had the right colour bass . I’d used Andy Viccars in Milton Keynes in the past (see: [url="http://www.andyviccarscustom.co.uk"]Andy Viccars - Website[/url] ) to do some work on my Gibson so approached him to do a full refurbish job on the Mustang, he did a great job as you’ll see from the pictures below. Andy suggested the colour, he showed me his Jazz in this colour and I was sold. I bought the Tortoise shell scratch plate from the USA and handed the whole lot over to Andy to do his thing. Andy used the old traditional ‘Nitrocellulose’ paint finish, I have to say I’m chuffed to bits with the whole result – finish, set-up and sound (nice set of flats on it) are perfect – thank you Andy.

Legion Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Very nice! I went to see Air playing at Somerset house last week (awesome gig) and watching him play stuff like La'Femme D'argent on his mustang makes me envious of this little beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col[/quote] Hi Col, Glad you like her, I'm now spoiled for choice between Mad Max (Gibson SG) and Sally (Mustang) - I know, sad bugger . The short scale basses are the way forward for me, struggled for to long with the 34" scale + small hands + arthritis creeping up on me. I see that there's a Japanese Fender Jazz (only available in Japan ) that's a 32" scale - love to get my (small) hands on one of those. Hope all is well with you Col.
