I have a 1975 Mustang bass in, what appears to be, sienna burst on the front. Apparently a previous owner refinished the back ( probably due to buckle rash) to natural. It's a great looking bass, but I've never seen another in that finish. Could it be original, and has anyone else seen a similar finish in this vintage? I can't find anything on the net about such a finish on that bass, but a knowledgeable dealer told me he has seen two or three, all with maple necks like this one has. I would appreciate any information that could help me out.

First- post a picture of the bass, if you can. That will give us more info than a thousand word description.

Is it possible that your bass has a sienna sunburst?
Yes it is.

I think that finish was used later than 1975 but I could be wrong.

Unfortunately, the back of your bass was refinished, but you could have the back redone ina sienna sunburst to match the frone. That would probably cost as much as an entire refinish since they would have to match the color.
