The neck pickup being that close to the fretboard would be a bit muddy. Better to have the additional pickup near the bridge to approximate jazz spacing. Imo obviously

 Agreed 🙌

Looks great! How does it sound? 

The pups are EY Parts Eric Custom T Bird ceramic humbuckers. I chose to use two 14k Pups both higher output units which offer a huge range of very diverse tones. The Harley Benton is great starting bass for pup up grades. Alder body, bound neck, nicely finished, all for £199.

That’s really not bad at all! Might have to order a HB just to mod

Proud owner of my all original Mustang from 1973. Bought it from the first owner and sounds the absolute business.

Such an amazing looking Mustang you got there @BassAgent 🤘🔥

Fender were aiming for this colour with their latest Vintera II 70's in Burgundy, but nothing beats a real colour, fading naturally over decades.

Yeah, I had that the Vintera II and it didn't come close to this in colour or mojo.

Yep, agreed. The original colour is still visible under the control plate:
