Mythical Fender Mustang Bass, manufactured in 1966 and 1981 then reproduced from the years 1999/00 until 2014. Model MB98-70 SD Short Scale Sunburst, manufactured in Japan in 2007.
Increasingly difficult to find in Japan!! Rare on the market.
*Selected and Imported by us from Japan*
Very good violin making, thin neck (38 mm at the nut) very pleasant. Japanese know-how.
In terms of sounds, it sends funky, it slams. But many rock and garage groups love this sound configuration. Very manageable bass, access to treble and superb look. A toy for adults!!
Excellent general condition, some small signs of wear, frets 8/10 (see photos for more details). Bass played with great care.
Please: do not confuse with the current models made in Mexico (large frets, satin neck varnish, 42 mm nut, fingerboard that is not rosewood, mex pickups ;-) and the new MB American Performer US, Mexico series- US...soulless.
