Caution...NBD+NCDx2= Mustang American Classic Teardrop Drool Content

[sleddogn]

I've owned every type of Mustang bass over the last 10 years. Probably cycled thru at least 20 of them. Hardcases have always been a topic of discussion here on TB. I put out many feelers and had luck with Teardrop heaven that wasn't easy lol. Nash cases, sorry for semi blurry photo.

Does Nash sell that case even if you don't buy one of their basses?

Is there room in the storage compartment for a wide leather strap?

It looks like a great case.

 

[sleddogn]

They don't sell them unless you ask the right dealer, it took many tries and lots of "no's" before a yes, lol. Yes plenty of room in compartment for strap for sure.

Who else now wants to explore buying a Fender Mustang bass?
Doesn't take much to entice me......
Beautiful basses and cases you have!

Are those your basses? If so - wow!, you really went all in.

They look like nice cases. I vastly prefer the Mono Vertigo guitar bag for shortscale basses over hard cases though.

Picked up a reverend bass a while ago. Similar teardrop shaped case... but it's referred to as a penguin case. Still on the fence, but I'd have to think hard about spending $249 for one. Admittedly, I did go for a reverend bass over a Mustang. Just a personal preference regarding short scales. However... The nash case does look SWEET!!!

 

[Dust2Dust]

Jackpot!!

Sweet basses and cases, bro

 

[sleddogn]

hey thanks everyone, i usually don't new new bass day threads on my own, but was kinda fluff'n my feathers lol

Nice cases, for sure! Always an issue with these guys. Meanwhile, the teardrops even look cool

I ended up getting a used matching Japanese case for mine, from some gentleman with a Japanese Mustang who didn't want the case it came with taking up space in his apartment. It was a while ago now (prolly 2018), so I don't recall anymore the details on exactly what model he had. My Mustang's an MIJ too, actually, but I bought it used without a case

Teardrop cases are pretty easy to come by in Canada, L&M house brand manufactures them here for us.

Beautiful cases. Where did you get the couch, Transylvania?

I was able to make it happen. The fit is perfect. I looked at other teardrop shape cases, but none were cut for a Mustang like this.

 

[sleddogn]

Heck yeah, they rock, love the small exterior profile on these....nice bass by the way

 

[madscientist]

So... the basses. Are they good?

So... the basses. Are they good?

And do you like them better than the other Mustangs you've had?
Or are they about equal in some areas.

How do you like those basses? I've been looking at them, but the reviews on the American classic series seems so hit or miss.

Are you asking about Nash's version of the Mustang bass or a Fender?
