FS/FT: Rather nice relic Seafoam Green Mustang - *SOLD* £600 Whitstable

[Beedster]

FS/FT a highly modified Squier Classic Vibe Mustang.

 

Selling this for a little less than I paid but significantly less than what it's worth as a bass IMO. Bought from Dan @d_g on here a couple of months back, largely because the moment I saw it I was in love, and it certainly doesn't disappoint! it's possibly everything I could ever want in a bass if it was 34" scale  - tone, looks, weight, tone - but it's not 34"! i gigged it just before Xmas and got into a bit of a mess and also ended up with quite bad cramp, the jump from mostly big fat Precision necks to the very elegant neck on this was in retrospect a big ask. 

 

Dan's details below

 

It started life as a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang. Since then it's had the following modifications:

 

- Nordsrand NM4 Pickup

- Hipshot Lollipop tuners

- Neck and body fully stripped

- Luminlay side dots installed

- Body refinished in seafoam green over two colour sunburst - all in nitro and done a few months ago so it will continue to wear as it's played

- Heavy relic finish with lots of checking

- Neck refinished in tinted nitro with matching seafoam headstock

- Back of neck nitro worn back down, tinted and left with a super smooth satin finish 

- Gold Fender decal applied

- Fender Rosewood Thumb rest added

- All hardware reliced

- New parchment pickguard with subtle relic

- Squier neckplate replaced with plain relic one

 

Anyway, lovely bass, Dan's relic work is outstanding and the upgrades, especially the PUPs, work extremely well. Collection from Whitstable preferred, courier possible (I have boxes), or meet-up in SE/London

Blimey, that was quick! Not surprising, however.
