About This Listing

1979 Fender Mustang Bass, Natural, Maple Fretboard, original hard shell case. Sounds terrific with original pickups and hardware. Body has typical dings and scratches for a 44 year old instrument but in great shape for it’s age and nothing that affects it’s playability. Someone before me had a sticker on the front and back and the rest of the body finish darkened so it’s a little lighter where these were. Neck in great shape, has a couple dings that have been smoothed out. This is a classic. Hard to part with, hope you will prize this piece of antiquity. Case is rougher on the outside; 2 latches work, but it does the job.

Product Overview

Fender Mustang Bass 1971 - 1981

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.

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: White was added as a finish for the Mustang bass in 1975.

Notable Players:  Bill Wyman, Tina Weymouth, Fred Smith
