Does anybody at all know where to find a replacement Frank Bello signature bass headstock decal, I find them really awesome, Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance had one on his Custom Shop Mustang Bass back in the day, I love the simple look of it with the black headstock, if anyone knows who...
Hi Folks - looking for opinions on this. I've been thinking about buying an affordable short scale bass like the Fender Mustang PJ bass and I came across the Steinberger Spirit bass. Even though the Spirit is not short scale, I thought that maybe with the smaller and lighter body, it might be...
I have acquired a 70s string-through Mustang, and I want a beefy old school fat sound out of it. What are your suggestions for string gauge? Is there such a thing as too heavy a set? I probably don't want lights, but what are everybody's thoughts about strings for a fat sounding Mustang...
Hello All,
I have been looking for a hard case for a Fender Player or Player II Mustang® Bass PJ and needed information and additional measurements to really check the fit.
Starting with some measurements from another discussion board, adding in information from Fender support and additional...
I've got a pristine Fender Vintera Mustang Bass in Dakota Red, strung with brand new LaBella Mustang flats and a Fender gig bag that I'm looking to trade for an equivalent level electric guitar OR a if it's a lower level guitar, maybe your guitar and a lower tier bass also. Fender Strat / Tele /...
Hey folks, for those new to the diary, I am a middle aged musician enjoying a bit of a musical renaissance, including finally picking up the bass as a secondary instrument. I have been learning mostly on the fly gigging in a duo/trio, and documenting my gigs with brief writeups. See the links to...
My first-ever bass arrived today, making it both a New Bass Day and (by corollary) a First Bass Day for me. I've mainly been a guitar player with a preference for short-scales, so I was initially tempted to pick up a Fender Junior Collection Jazz Bass or a Bass VI. But the fine folks in this...
Belated NBD… Purchased a Fender Vintera 60s Mustang Bass when they were on closeout for the Vintera II release. My first Fender branded product in 25+ years of playing bass (though as a longtime G&L owner, I have owned several of “The Real Ones” by Leo Fender for a long time).
Now what you are...

Up for sale is this loaded body from a 2006 CIJ Mustang Bass in a beautiful aged white finish. I’ve had this since new so I’m the first owner of this bass, I’m downsizing and selling some stuff to cover moving expences but keeping the neck to put on another body (a vintage music master with a...

This is a question for anyone who's spent time with a Mustang Bass, but especially anyone who's used one on stage. I am thinking of the traditional split Mustang Bass pickup configuration, not the modern P or the PJ varieties.
I've been reading a lot recently about the Mustang Bass, which has...
Bought brand new in 2020. Replaced the pickguard and the jazz bass pickup (Suhr hum cancelling pickup). The replacement jazz bass pickup needs some soldering work (cuts in and out). Currently equipped with D'Addario flatwounds.
Great bass, played live only four times, used on a couple...

Hi,
After building my first P Bass last year, I am thinking about trying a short scale Mustang build.
I've been hunting around for a Mustang Bass plans, why are the so hard to find?
I'm in Australia and postage can really bump up (almost triple) the price of paper plans from some countries...
I just bought this bass on Jan 18, 2024. I just bought an Vintera mustang bass at the beginning of Feb, and I don't really need two mustangs.
You will pay $700 + actual shipping. I can give you the cost if you give me your zipcode. Or you can buy the shipping label yourself (and then email me...

Selling my 1973 Fender Mustang Bass. All original, competition blue finish. Definitely a player… well-worn, but good condition and quite clean. A few little dings, as one would expect on a bass that’s over 50 years old, but nothing affecting sound or playability. Full disclosure, here’s a list...

Hey guys,
I bought a Vintera 60s Mustang Bass from a seller on Amazon last week at a huge discount: 51% off at about $560 USD. I don't normally buy Amazon, but I was in the market for a Mustang and the sale price was too good not to try.
When I received the item it was refurbished guitar...
Hi, everyone!
I have a problem with my Mustang bass and my Höfner violin bass, which are strung respectively with Chromes and the LaBella flatwound set for Beatle bass.
On the Mustang the pitch is unstable all along the 4th string, getting much worse past the 12th fret. There's this weird...
Hi, I've just got myself one of those Vintera II Mustangs, and ordered new electronics (including CTS knobs) to update the cheap ones that came from factory. To my surprise they didn't fit because the holes in the control plate are smaller. I've seen a lot of people upgrading their Mustangs...
I modded my Mustang with a Serek pup, decided it wasn’t for me, put it up for sale and nobody seems interested in the modded version so I’m thinking of restoring it and selling the Serek pup and bass separately.
So… I need a pickguard
I've got a Fender PJ Mustang Bass, and love the sleek body & pickups in it, but have 2 problems. First, the short 19 fret neck ain't cutting it, so I want to slide in a new standard-sized neck, it'll be weird but I don't really mind. Problem two, I'm a college student.

Any ideas? Any...
Excellent MIJ Mustang Bass in Olympic white with a rosewood fretboard. I caught the short scale bug a while ago but I quickly recovered and this beauty just sits now. Definitely deserves to be played more. The previous owner added a bass side thumb rest that is easily removed. Other than that...

Hallo zusammen,
Ich wollte kürzlich den Hals meines Mustang Basses einstellen (dafür muss man bei dem Modell ja das Pickguard entfernen) und musste danach feststellen, dass der Bass kaum bis gar kein Low End mehr hat. Beim Fummeln ist dann ein Winding an einer PU-Spule gerissen. Bin mir nicht...

Hello, everyone! I've been looking for a new bass. As someone who has used jazz bass for a long time, I want to buy something different. I recently had the opportunity to try an American mustang at a music store and I fell in love with it. but unfortunately, due to the taxes in my country, it is...
For sale: a well kept 2006 MIJ Mustang in excellent condition, especially considering that it's 16 years old. Purchased from a studio musician who primarily uses Mustangs on the road, this bass was only used in his home for practice. This Mustang has a white poly finish and a lovely rosewood...

A Mustang La Bella string question.
The 760F MUS and the 760FL MUS appear to be the same gauge -
43/60/82/104 - Can anyone tell me what the difference between the two is?
