SOLD Rare 1967 Fender Mustang Bass- Red- USA

1967 Fender Mustang Bass in original red finish, with all original hardware and electronics.

The bass is in excellent condition, with only the usual cosmetic wear and tear that you would expect on a 50+ year old instrument. The scratchplate has been replaced with a white pearloid version.

Comes with the original hard case.

Introduced two years after the Mustang guitar, the Mustang Bass was the first student-level bass produced by Fender as well as the last production bass designed by Leo Fender before he left 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.
