wow

wow

I second that. Is that thing real?

Man alive! If that was in the UK, I'd probably already be bidding on it. But the price is 4x too much! I'd love to own it, but I wouldn't want to buy it!

I hear you man. Way too much for me as well. Great looking bass though.

To be honest, I think it's a bit overpriced. $2,200.00 is a bit high for it even in the condition that it's in. I could see $1200 or MAYBE $1400, but $2,200 is a bit steep. You never know though.

I've got to admit I've never seen on of these before! Sure is cool looking, and the 30" scale would be a blast to play. Mighty nice condition, and they took a lot of great pictures... I'll take your word on the price, and file that away for future reference...

I was also impressed by, and have to wonder why they attached the bridge to the body with so many screws? Anyone know why?

[pjmuck]

Well it sold. Anybody here get it?

[gravesbass]

Wow... That was a LOT of $$ for a Mustang. Are they really that rare in lefty? It was in good shape.

[AzWhoFan]

Rare? yes indeedy they are. Especially in Natural. That is the 1st one i have seen in that finish. [of course, everything Fender lefty from 76-78 seems to be predominantly Natural eh?]

[mcarp555]

That's the second natural one I've seen. The first one was reported as stolen on another website, and had a maple neck. Still too much money for one, IMO.

Four of those screws aren't for attaching the bridge to the body; they're for adjusting the individual string mutes that are no longer on that bass. Still, that leaves seven screws that do attach the bridge, which is a bit much, especially since it's a through-body bridge.
