FS: Two Short‑Scale Beauties — Fender Mustang Vintera II 70's Competiton £700 & Gretsch Electromatic G2220 Jet II £175 £1100 Plymouth Devon

[Raslee]

In a bid to withdraw my Sandberg 5-string superlight that I currently have up for sale, I've decided to clear out a few shorties to replenish my wife's idea of a 'music only credit card'  that deserves to be played more than I'm managing to. All fully working, all gig‑ready, and all great examples of their type, more pics available on request.

 

SOLD: Ibanez Mezzoo 32" (Upgraded EMGs + BTC System) — £250 (Left on pic below) 

A cracking medium‑scale Ibanez Mezzoo, upgraded with EMG's and BTS.

 

2️⃣ Fender Mustang Vintera II '70s Competition  — £700 (Middle on pic below)

(or £750 with Gotoh Ultralite tuners fitted)

https://uk.fender.com/products/vintera-ii-70s-competition-mustang-bass

Traded locally after Xmas from someone who had just bought it brand new for around £1000 - it's in excellent condition, being only around 2 months old since new. A corker of bass both live and in the studio, and should my Sandberg sell i'll probably be withdrawing. 

Specs & highlights:

Vintera II 70s reissue

30" scale

Colour is officially "Burgundy", but in person it's a gorgeous blue with a subtle red tinge in the light....very nice, iridescent. 

Gotoh Ultralite graphite tuners fitted (shaved 7oz off the weight and bloody expensive too)

Add £50 if you want them left on, otherwise originals will be refitted

Currently strung with DR Bootsys — will include a set of used chrome flats if wanted

Around 7.12 lbs,      Have now weighed with digital scales  - exactly 7.56 lbs with the Gotoh tuners (lighter than I thought!)

Sounds properly like you want a Mustang to sound: warm, punchy, characterful

A genuinely lovely example, immaculate — I'll miss it!

I have the original black knobs and thumb rest to go with it, just liked the white ones!

3️⃣ Gretsch Electromatic Short‑Scale — £175 (Right on pic below)

A great‑sounding, warm, thumpy Gretsch short‑scale.

Used, historically gigged, and with a few honest knocks to show for it, but fully functional and still a great vibe.

Specs & highlights:

Classic Electromatic short‑scale tone

30" scale

A few cosmetic marks from age and gigs

Around 8.6 lbs

Perfect as a first shorty, a mod platform, or a reliable backup.

Sorry that was incorrect, it is the EMG BTS (Bass & Treble)
