It looks great as it is, but see original link for photos with the bridge cover off. It sounds the same either way 😉

I’d be wary of fitting a jazz cover as screws may be in a different place - others more expert

Thank you and yep, I trust you guys in the know to keep me right. I know double basses well, but these wee things are not my department. The info I included, as you’ll see, comes from Brian’s original listing + the opinion of a reputable vintage guitars trader here in Scotland, who was kind enough to drop me some knowledge. Basically, I think that Brian’s original valuation of £1500 reflects the value of this bass in terms of professional quality, but a bit of a mix and match between original features and later embellishments. Any less than that, I think it’s a great deal, but I know times are hard for musicians (probably for most people), otherwise I wouldn’t be selling.

Hi yes it does thanks harry

The guitar features an original neck shape and Dinky-shaped body that the artist was particularly particular about, and the electric section is equipped with an Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage Jazz Bass® pickup and the latest preamp, inheriting the playability and sound quality of the previous model. In addition, a new feature not available in the previous model is the inclusion of a thin pickguard of approximately 1.0 mm sandwiched under the gold anodized pickguard of approximately 1.2 mm, which gives the same playing feel as a 3-ply pickguard while maintaining the same appearance.’ One of my Feedback links. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/137382-feedback-for-harry/#comment-1241408

Yes, it is.

Thanks mate. Just to stop people misusing it for nefarious reasons. Probably not really necessary on an old Musicmaster.
