About This Listing
Here's a 1973 Fender Mustang Bass in Competition Blue finish. This is a super vibey players bass! 17JAN73 neck date, with original '73 pots. Finish is all original as well. The pickups and pickguard are not original, and there's a route in the body from a previous humbucker size pickup. The pickups appear to be newer Fender Mustang Bass pickups. There's also fracture crack in the body that basically runs on both sides, aligned with the low E string. That is sealed and completely structurally sound. The bass plays fantastic, with smooth playing action. This one happens have a beautiful dark Rosewood fingerboard as well. Frets have plenty of life. Killer Killer bass. HSC included…

About the Seller
Product Overview
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. Starting in 1969, Fender introduced a set of snazzy "competition" finishes which added a double racing stripe to the body.
Years of Production: 1966 - 1981
Body Style: Offset solidbody
Wood Composition: Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Rosewood fingerboard
Design Elements: Bolt-on neck, dot inlays, 30-inch scale length, split single-coil pickup
Finish Specifications: Competition Red was part of the Competition series of finishes introduced in 1969.
Notable Players: Bill Wyman, Tina Weymouth, Fred Smith
