mustang bass sighting!
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:04 am
it was vintage, probly early 70's
it was all black, with a maple neck, from what i could tell it was 100% stock.
the bass player from ours was using and was rocking the shit out of it!
it sounded fucking good!!!!
i wish i had taken some pics of it, i actually got to check it out a lil bit, it was sitting on a rack at the side of the stage, so i wandered over, looked it over thoroughly and even gave it a quik pluck before i realised jimmy neco was standing looking at me, i said sorry and walked away really fast.
later on he said it didn't bother him, but the bass player would have been super pissed.
i also saw the bass player for adam green playing a very unusual p-bass
check this out.
burst paint, tort guard. lacquer finish, 60's(early) style decal.
it looked so good it had to have been a re-issue
BUT!!!!
the thumb rest was in its proper place for the period, the keys were proper, and it had a strap button on the back of the headstock
now im certain its a fender burst. looks like a good pre-cbs burst, but it looked too new to be vintage.
did fender do a crazy exact replica recently?

That's the exact Mustang Bass fredo was originally gonna get for me for my bday!!! Ahhh! If I had a chance or the funds, I wouldn't mind at all having 2 Mustang basses.
