Hard to remember much about Mustang Bass cases specifically except they did have the security strap for the neck. So did the Jaguar guitar. So I'd say this one is close to the correct case for the Mustang Bass. Without a logo I can not be sure about the year for this case. Usually on black cases I go by the logo or interior color to date them. With no "amp" logo on this one I'm pretty much lost since they used the dark orange for most of the 70's. About 1972 the logo on the black tolex case had no "swoosh tail" and a small "R". Also the white piping around the leather case ends became more pronouced.
Mid to late 1970s: The logo on the black Tolex cases changed yet again. No "tail/swoosh" with the logo, there was a bigger "R" (registered) mark, and a "Made in USA" script was added to the case logo. Also the interior of the case got more padding about '75/76.

That case looks legit to me. No storage compartment iside the case is another Mustang bass, case characteristic.

It doesn't make much sense but that is the way they made them.

I would guess that that is a mid to late 70's case, based on the color of the case lining.

My 1970 Jazz bass did not have a logo on its case, for what its worth.
