Bought my Fender Mustang years ago (summer 2015 if I'm not mistaken) in a shop center in California: the shop sold it on Ebay, so I was a bit brave to buy it. Yeah, it was a quite hard to find this guitar, because it is not a real "common" guitar, easily to find in guitar shops. Being a left handed guitar player doesn't help in these terms because these instruments are rarer and more expensive. So, I've spent years and years looking for it before I finally found it out. That's because I convinced myself it wasn't a problem buying online. It was second-hand instrument and I particularly appreciated its conditions. I loved that my instrument already had a story to tell but I understand musicians who would rather buy a new instrument than second-hand. Anyway, my Fender Mustang serial number is dated Japan 1995, which is amazing, 'cause I could say my guitar's older than me lol. During these years I've been playing it appreciating its sound, all its facets, discovering a lot of things about this instrument, including things I'd changed about it to approach my idea of sound. For example, as you can see in the photograph, my Mustang has got two different pickups: single coil by Fender (neck) and an hum bucker by Seymour Duncan (bridge) but at the beginning it was different, with two single coil by Fender. I changed it to make it more versatile, because two single coil were not nice enough playing with overdrives or distortions. My choice was also inspired by another Mustang which I love to hear and to see, Kurt Cobain Mustang signature. So, since I've always been fascinated by its shapes, its sound, clean but also distorted, I fell in love with it and once changed its pickup, I started recording songs, covers and more. So, I can say I found my sound with this amazing guitar.

Bought this Amp a very long time ago, when I first played bass guitar and what I really appreciate about that was its good value for money. I mean, it's been a while since I took this amp at home and it's still pumpin' bass lines so well ;)
