The Fender/Squier Bullet Bass Thread

#181
Knock, knock...
Got this in a trade. Seems like the real deal USA B-30 Mocha. Maple skunk stripe. A small chip on each horn shows natural wood.
Maybe a fool, shouldve seen the insides first, however...
Feels, plays and sounds great. Novak pickup. Came with orig pickup and bridge.

Mocha was not an original color for the bullet (red, white, & sunburst only) so this is a refin, but it looks great and these are high quality instruments! Enjoy!

pretty sure you are not correct. barewood under mocha, and was a custom color.

idk...maybe I shouldnt believe everything but..a few examples out there I think as well.

The Fender Bullet Bass B-30 in Mocha (often officially listed by Fender as Walnut) is a highly sought-after, short-scale vintage instrument manufactured in the United States between 1982 and 1983. Originally offered as a premium-fee color variant alongside Sunburst, the Mocha finish remains one of the rarest and most visually striking configurations for this short-lived model line

I stand corrected! I think I read something to the contrary, but now that I google it, I find that’s not correct. It makes sense that I haven’t seen many mocha and sunburst as there were fewer of them made. That’s a rare one, enjoy!

I did see your post in the sellers, thread before I did the trade...therefore proceeded cautiously optimistic :)
