Note: This comes with (what I believe to be) the original hardshell case!

We love Mustang Basses. This one is super duper groovy.

First off... the finish. Wow. It's metallic and it's got depth. The competition stripe adds some extra pop and spunk.

Fitted with the classic choice of strings for getting the most out of your 'Stang: LaBella 760F-MUS Flatwounds.

The bass plays like butter and has got a super round and thumpy tone: exactly what you're looking for in one of these basses. Smooths out nicely when the tone is rolled off too.
