Just finished pimping my bronco bass with a new daphne blue paint job: http://a1.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/139/7d96cb00e5854c79b5bed75d46f54c8d/l.jpg As ever, excuse the shitty picture quality! Really happy with this bass though :D oooohhh ahhhhh... :) Not usually a fan of maple necks, but ...

Ahhh, this page of the thread has many lovely creatures!

Whoa... pretty crazy! I like the 1st one better to be honest though. Still rad. =)

Nope, I wish they were standard! Talked to the guy at Hipshot about this even ... Took mine out & gave them a right cleaning too. I'm not looking to do any reaming on my lovely creature of beauty. The only option is replacement with vintage lefties or putting on these heavy attachment ones that ...

No, I didn't realize it was a band name. I'll have to check em out. One of my aliases is Honey Bomb. =)
I hear ya... if you find any Bronco/Stang/MM lefty tuners plmk! =)

Well hey @honeyiscool (nice username btw!), you snatch it up, I'll buy the tuners from you! =)

Dang, from that video of how you felt wool I'd think these would take an incredible amount of time to create, poking and poking at each piece until it's in the desired shape and then molding them altogether. As the Beastie Boys would say "She's craftyyyyyy!!!" Def Fraggle-esque, some cute,...

This was on my local craigslist. Nice Dakota Red refin with maple neck. I'd be willing to check it out in person if anyone is interested + if anyone just wants it for parts, let me know, I'd buy the tuners!!! Thanks! http://providence.craigslist.org/msg/2386019775.html

I like it. It'd be nice if it had the body contours too. =)

You animal, you! Looks rad! Love the green paint job, your workbench & the skateboard shelf!

Boyfriend walks by, sees the mustang on the screen "I dunno... I don't care how beat up a vintage guitar looks, it's gotta be functioning. I wouldn't want chunks of the pickguard falling off while I was playing." Me - "The pickguard fell off, he's replacing it." Bf - "Cool, ...

This baby's got personality - oohhhh yeah! That does suck that the pg fell apart, did u score that vintage one off ebay?
I'd go with the 70s Bronco pup, yes indeedy!

@ robroe - http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/fender70p95.php Here's a link to that chart. Claims to be from 1970 Fender Guitar & Bass Catalog. The chart includes colors for other models besides the Mustang, and I do believe it's referencing the Coronado II, Coronado Bass II, and Coronado XII whic...

Um... thread hog. :oops: Links to info on the diff between LPB, Competition Burgundy/Blue Color info: http://www.fender.com/community/forums/viewtopic.php?p=498421&sid=733686fe92a607958a7d116ed8318587 http://competitionmustang.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-11-08T06%3A49%3A00-06%3A00&m...

Sorry I should have replied in one, my bad... @Mages - yes, it is indeed that crazy unicorn - a true 1969 vintage lefty Mustang Bass. It still blows my mind that after searching almost a year it was only 10 minutes from where I live! All stored away since 1974! Nuts! @NickS - Yeah, that's me there. ...

some peeps call the LPB ones burgandy because of the old colour chart typo thing, and others refer to the purply-edged ones as burgandy... I agree the old color chart thing, but idk if it was a typo truly? Up until 1971, the Competition Burgundy/Blue ones I've seen have all had purpled edges. (Some...

It was called Competition Burgundy before it became Competition Blue... see this original Fender color chart - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GcxVTFWRwww/S0ntHaYf8xI/AAAAAAAAALQ/b5FEZ8NdCVc/s400/colors.JPG In all my research on Fender paints, I have not found evidence that LPB is the same color that is t...

slowly but surely! Love to see it when it's finished! =)

its probably really weird to say this, but the main reason i dislike maple is because I feel like it looks cheaper. For some reason, since there is no added fretboard it just seems skimped on, even if that isn't really the case. also I had a tele that was maple, and it always seemed more sticky tha...

for my mustang bass i bought a pack of Fender Bass VI strings and used the 4 heaviest strings on it. So it goes .044 .056 .072 .084 it works fucking great!!! you can get them real cheap here if you want to try it http://www.firstqualitymusic.com/p_XL156.aspx?source=FROOGLEFEED Really? I can see the...
