Vintage Fender - 1966 - Mustang Bass - Olympic White

This 1966 example of the iconic Fender Mustang Bass was the first student-level bass produced by Fender as well as the last production bass designed by Leo during his tenure at the company. Targeted towards younger players, the Mustang Bass offered a shorter 30-inch scale length as well as a lower price-point than the Precision or Jazz Basses of the mid-'60s. The split single-coil pickup was also smaller than that of the P Bass, but still captured a wide range of bass tones.

This vintage guitar is in great playing condition, it has play-wear in line with it's age, but thanks to it's Nitro finish, it has aged beautifully.

It has had some finish touch-ups on the back of the guitar, which have been done to a professional standard and cannot be visually seen.

A rubberised strip has been installed beneath the bridge saddles in order to reduce any buzzing components - this works very well but could easily be removed if you wanted to return the guitar to full original specifications.
