  1. TBH there really isnt much difference sonically, maybe the MIJ has a bit more treble bite and '71 more woody lows but its marginal. The MIJ is slab whereas the '71 has a belly cutout (which I sadly need!) - the latter is lighter by 1 pound, probably due mainly to this. Both are great basses but I love the mojo, weight and vintageness (its a word) of the '71 more
  2. To move this along, I will include standard 48 hour delivery by UPS in the advertised price within the UK Can also swap out flatwound strings for Ernie Ball roundwound Slinkies, if preferred
  3. I have had a bunch of offers on evilBay but would rather sell here if possible, so I will include UK standard (48 hour delivery) post in the £680 price
  4. Not my rig, this is the permanent rig at Brixton Hill Studios. I have a Terror Bass and a Barefaced cab!
  5. £100 price cut to £1400 to get this moved on. If you are tempted, bear in mind you will have enormous difficulty locating another one in this colour scheme
  6. Price cut to £680 to get this moved on
  7. Mighteous sound through Ampeg valve rig at rehearsal tonight
  8. Colour me interested but need to sell a bass or two first (have 4 up FS!!!)
  9. It has a lot of finish checking and crazing that don't appear in my pictures (other than of the headstock) but that makes me like it even more!
  10. @Sparky MarkJust took these pics. Plus one of the grizzled, probably 40 y/o Mustang-sized hard case my incoming '71 arrived in which could be used to safely transport the MIJ Mustang. I am just south of Hammersmith Bridge
  11. I have some fabulous passive basses but this is much more flexible with the East preamp (its excellent for recording). Plus its super slick and easy to play
  12. Actually, I am withdrawing this as I have 4 other basses up for sale to bring in funds and I do want to keep this one.
  13. My newly arrived '71 Mustang
  14. Just snaffled this 48 y/o beauty. Weighs just over 7 pounds, which is fabulous for my back/shoulders. Just need to sell a couple of basses to pay for it now!
  15. Major attempted downsize with 4 basses now up for sale (SG, Mustang, Jazz, Bordwell).

      Still in the red!

  16. Loved this bass so much I went and bought the real deal - a '71 vintage Mustang in competition stripe (NBD thread to come in next few days!). As regards pricing, competition stripe Japanese Mustangs are much harder to come by than plain fiesta red or oly white reissues and this is in near mint condition. Reverb has them for about a grand (I paid more than my asking price only a couple of months back). At the same sort of price as a Vintera and less than a JMJ I think this is fair. As a reminder these are based on 60s reissues and so have the skinnier J width neck. Weighs 8 pounds, plays and sounds fabulous. Wearing TI flats (eagle eyed will spot that it has also had LaBella Mustang flats on, but I have swapped them on to my incomer). No dedicated gigbag but I will improvise with something gigbag-ish and ensure its safely packed if post is required (£20 UK; £65 ex-UK)
  17. It was indeed mine (briefly). Ironically it would work well in my brand new (and very loud) country punk band ... but I have that covered with an Orange Terror Bass otherwise I would be asking to buy it back. So have a bump on me instead!
  18. In truth, I would like to keep this bass and sell my Cliff Bordwell Ball bass (even though this is an awesome bass, I just prefer the less skinny neck on my ACG and its more flexible electronics)
  19. Specifications here (in more detail than you could possibly wish for) http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/USA/SG-Standard-Bass.aspx
  20. Neck pocket and heel pics, as requested
  21. Replied. Will take photos tomorrow. Cheers!
