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 with a low action.
Weight is 3,6kg on my kitchen scales.
The bass is currently setup with Fender flats. Another spare set of strings (also used) is also included.
Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. It has damages from use, but is solid and well usable.
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.
Fixed lowered price €4.300
Partial trades (bass or guitar gear) are welcome. Per example: Modulus 34" quantum or earlier Flea, rickenbacker 4001, Stingray (pre 92 with lacquered neck or special in a fancy finish) or a usa sterling model, something fretless.
Guitarwise a strat/jazzmaster or other offset, Epiphone sj200 acoustic guitar, a small tube combo…
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.
(Ps: I’ve got more pictures available on request)
