Despite the changed pickup, I'll be surprised if this goes for under $1K. Competition Mustang plus original finish plus pre-1970 will add up.

Mudstang:)

I always liked the Mustangs with Darkstars appearing at the ole Pit and there was also someone with a Fender Telebass humbucker. I liked the small instrument with a big pick up and I even thought about it...

Alan Lancaster of the mighty Quo played a Mustang bass for ages - it's on all their classic seventies recordings. And you could always hear when he moved from the E string to the A string because they sounded so totally different.  :mrgreen: He was an early role model for me.

I had a friend who had the identical paint guitar version, I remember to this day when he sanded the mint finish off it, years ago!

I really like that. Wanted a competition mustang for some time, and although a mudbucker would lower the value, it wouldn't bother me. I may even place a minor bid

Well, I have a Kramer ...

It is true, Alan switched to Travis Bean around the time of "Rocking All Over the World" (when everything went downhill), but I still saw him in 1977 on the Blue for You tour with his beloved Mustang. I loved Lancaster's playing, he was obviously technically limited (only downstrokes and all that), but I think the way his root note eighths would throb and the little melodic things he would play idiosyncratic. Which can't be said of his successor who is technically a better bass player, but faceless. 

Classic Quo is for me Piledriver, Hello, Quo (my favorite), On the Level, Blue for you and the Live album. I still like to see Quo to this day, but without Lancaster and Coughlan they don't have that blind telepathic, even moronic groove anymore. These days they are just a tight band, back then they were unconquerable.   

Watch for those downstrokes at 0.50!!!

If I'm right this means the bass is uneven sounding so crappy? And he's a role model as in not buying Fenders but getting into Gibsons?;)

He turned uneven string response into an art!
