    I've owned a blue one. It sounded really great... But in the end the weight kept it in its case mostly. I could handle the weight, but a little lighter just feels more comfortable to me.

    Lovely, I would love to have a light one at one point. They tend to be a little more heavy indeed.

    Sale pending

    Very nice looking jazz, but not interesting enough for me at the moment. Thank you.

    I'm not necessarily looking for any trades (well, a 2eq honeyburst Stingray with lacquered neck...). Though I could possibly be tempted if something nice is offered. I mainly like traditionally styled stuff.

    Fender Mustang Bass 1975 Cool old Fender Mustang Bass in Mocha finish. Pots and serial say it's a '75. There are no further dating stamps applied on body or neck, but the year should be about right. This mocha finish really looks great as it is transparant, so you see the nice wood grains. The bass is not fully original. There is a Lollar replacement pickup fitted in an aged pearl pickguard. I got this bass with the period correct pickguard (replacement?), but as you can see it looks great with an aged pearl pg now. A thumbrest with screws is also included. As you can see from the pictures the bass has been used well. It has a lot of battle scars, and a finish crack on the frontside. No structural damage though. The neck is straight and adjustable, with pretty good frets. All hardware and electronics work like they should. The Mustang is a cool little bass that plays and sounds great. I love the sound with the fender flats that are fitted now, which are a good midway for a modern/vintage sound. Bunch of pictures: I was looking for a good Mustang for a while, to use as my main bass in a pop-rock formation. How much as I love the sound, it appears that my fretting hand doesn't enjoy it that much for some reason. A battered old non-original case is included for protection during transport. Price: €1.265 fixed. This is what I spent on this bass, and I´d like to get that back. The bass can be tried and picked up in the Netherlands, but I am willing to ship within the EU/UK at buyers risk and expense.

    Gibson Ripper pickup for sale; Asking €125

    I'd advice a Roland cube 30 bass. These amps just sound good, and have various amp simulations and effects to play with.

    Metallica Bass Tab books. Condition is used, but they are complete without loose pages etc. The cover of the black album has some damage. There might be some pencil marks in there, but nothing special. Asking €40 for the 4 books.---> Pricedrop to €35 The GNR and Aerosmith book are also for sale for an additional €8 each. The GNR is also for bass with tabs, the Aerosmith without tabs and meant for guitar/piano.

    Bump with a lot of trade options added.

    I think it has the elongated heel indeed. Don't have the bass in my hands right new, but there is a thickened area from the headstock towards the fretboard. The colour should be autumnglo

    Sounds like a coincidence(?) .. If it's something that rickenbacker did, it's unknown to me. But maybe someone recognizes this and has an explanation. The bolts are parallel to the pickup bolts, so I assume that the pickup cover had been mounted there. Just a theory though
  14. SurroundedByManatees
    Nothing. My guess is that the pickup cover had been mounted there. I'm planning to fill them up and make them visually dissappear (as far as possible).

    Received this '78 yesterday. I've owned a 2006 4003 once, but this one plays way better with it's thinner neck. Sounds great too with enough meat on the bridge pickup, so probably the feared .47 cap has been removed earlier. The bass has a cream colored truss rod cover. It looks original to me, but haven't seen this before.

    Thought 1994/1995 (see pictures of date stamps in the ad). While inspecting closer, I think 1999 is a good possibility too. Hard to see.

  20. SurroundedByManatees
    Yup, the best colour I've seen so far on this style basses. Congrats, it looks great. O and don't forget to pm me if you fall out of love with the mustang

    Davide was kind enough to respond to my wanted ad for an old Mustang Bass. He was very helpful to inform me about the bass and sent me good pictures to give a good impression. We made the deal quickly, and the bass was shipped to me well packed. Good communication throughout. The bass arrived yesterday, and needs some tweeking to set it up to my taste. But I'm sure I'll be enjoying it:) Thanks, it was a pleasure Davide
