Call me a nub if you want, but I have a hard time associating such a tiny pickup with any deep sound.

I think this is the same bass, nice sound.

That would be a mistake...."nub"

My Mustang and others I've played have a very full sound similar to both a single coil Precision and a humbucking Precision. I've gigged mine quite a bit.

I read somewhere about a guy in here buying a vintage Fender Jazz in the case for an absurdly low amount of money. He went to buy a case, picked up the heaviest one, and it was so heavy because of a bass being stuck inside on accident.

Holy cow! The profit you could turn from that P is too much to even fathom.

Wow, just wow.

Pawnxchange on Airport Rd, Everett Wa. December 2003.

I still have the bass and the original receipt!!! The hang tag said "Fender Bass needs work".

Need work = age tarnished hardware and natural finger wear.

Pawn shop deals don't come any better!!

I mean this only with the utmost respect: "You suck!"

The guy with the '62 P for less than $150 wins this thread. And life, while he's at it. Wow...

Seriously. That is absolutely ridiculous.

But then again.. April Fool's?

Not a bass, but in the pre Ebay days I picked up a 70's Gibson Explorer for $250 that I turned and sold for $800 a week later.

Those are the normal pickups for the Mustang. They're basically P pups in smaller housings. They work and sound fine.

weren't they guitar pickups because when they were first introduced, the company didn't have any bass pickups that would fit into the bass? I believe it's got narrow spacing (and a short scale)

 

[Gopherbassist]

I've seen those pickups on Mustangs before.

I scooped a squier protone for $85 from one of the local pawn shops a year or 2 ago. I see them on ebay going for between $300 and $500 now. Doesn't compete with a '62, but I was happy.
