Indeed, comfort was the intent behind the Fender Mustang Bass, and its 30″ scale, light weight, offset waist, and body contours teamed up to make it easy to play, whether sitting or standing. Its headstock has a classic Fender four-on-a-side silhouette, its tuning keys are a Schaller cloverleaf-shaped keys, and its bolt-on neck is made of maple with a 19-fret rosewood fretboard with pearloid dot markers. The truss rod can be adjusted at the body end, though doing so requires removing the neck from the body. Another indication that the Mustang Bass was a student/budget instrument is its body silhouette. With its stubby cutaway horns and shallower cutaways, it looked more like its six-string student cousins than a downsized Precision or Jazz Bass. Like the Precision Bass, the Mustang had a single split-coil pickup. But where the Precision’s pickup housings were rectangular, the Mustang’s were oval-shaped. The configuration of the Volume and Tone controls gave a nod to the Jazz Bass, being on a chrome plate instead of the pickguard. Its strings loaded through the rear of the body, and the large bridge plate had individual (and intonatable) string saddles, as well as foam mutes (these are rather deteriorated, but still intact). A fingerrest was initially found on the treble side of the pickguard, but often, players removed it or relocated it to the bass side to serve as a thumbrest. This 1972 Mustang Bass body was made of alder, with a maple neck and Rosewood fretboard. This one comes to you in the classic three color sunburst. This 1972 Fender Mustang Bass Guitar (Serial #340733) is a used item in VG condition. There are some minor dings, edge paint chips and numerous surface finish scratches on the body of the guitar. The necks are generally in good shape, and there is some wear on the frets from normal use. One string ferrule is missing. All components are original. Seems this item may have been refinished or original redone before shipping as under a couple of the paint chips on the bass body you see a Fiesta Red color and not the Sunburst it ended up being. You will receive this item well-packed in a gig bag but not the original packaging or paperwork. Please contact this seller for additional information. Returns are limited so please ask all questions before bidding as your satisfaction is important to me before you purchase. Customer 100% satisfaction is our one and only goal.
