NBD: Stupid Clean 1971 Fender Mustang Bass in Competition Orange
After an 8.5 hour round trip, I've come home with an incredible new vintage piece. Almost unplayed condition 1971 Fender Mustang Bass in beautiful Competition Orange. Complete with hang tag, unfilled warranty card, unopened case keys, mute, and strap. Unlike many instruments that look this unplayed, this one plays and sounds spectacular. The best part about it - the scale length is a lot more manageable for this guitar player.

That looks insanely sharp! What a find! Looks like it spent most of its life sheltered in the case. Anything you can tell us about its history?

One of my all-time favorite basses, especially in that color. Congrats!!
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Hello:
Your bass is so beautiful!
I have a 1971 Fender Mustang bass in Competition Burgundy with its original salt and pepper finish hard case.
The paint finish on the back of my bass body has deteriorated (melted) over the years ... maybe because of the heat.
I don't have the latches key, but maybe they are the same as in your bass hard case.
Could you please upload pictures of the key (both sides and measures) to see if there is any name, brand or something that helps to identify them and find them second hand?
Thank you so much.
Sergio
