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.Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Years of Production: 1966 - 1981 Materials: Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Rosewood fingerboard Design Elements: Bolt-on neck, dot inlays, 30-inch scale length, split single-coil pickup
