1966 Fender Mustang Bass

Lynne,

Thanks for estimating the value of my 76 Jazz Bass and responding so quickly. Now I would like to get a value for my Fender Mustang Bass.

It's in good condition but has some nicks and dents. It's serial number is 166821 and is sort of a tropical turquoise blue. It has NO case but works well. Strings enter from behind the body up through it and to the bridge.

can you tell me its value? Also can you estimate a value for a Goya electric W - 3 Panther guitar? If so I will make an additional contribution and request an estimate.

regards and thanks
