    Hi can the string rollers be moved to alter the string spacing - like on a Schaller 3D bridge? Thanks

    I wouldn't - I knackered the hell out of my Musicmaster 😖

    My first bass was a Musicmaster and it was a fine instrument perfect for me at the time. It cost £85 secondhand from Kingfisher Music and I got it in the January sale. This was in 1978 so with inflation... Ok there are lots of lovely basses out there for less money but if I saw my old one - and it was in worse condition than this one was even then - I'd be happy to pay £500 for it. A case of 'what price nostalgia' or 'A fool and his/her money'? 😳

    It certainly is an original case but I've only seen them with the earlier Musicmasters - with the funny non branded tuners. Maybe an earlier case with a later bass or just a creative use of mix and match 70's stock in the Fender factory. A nice vintage package for the cash however.

    Fantastic UK made bass this - I've just restored a Marathon 6 string, Shergold necks are just lovely. GLWTS☺️

    It was built for me - in the end I got another real one and sold this on. It originally had a wooden pickup and this evidently has been replaced. Played great but the pickup was weak. It took an age to make and was a bit underwhelming when it finally arrived - needed a set up and some details attending to - however as an experiment in a wider neck true VI bass guitar I think it works.

    I've asked around and the material for recovering luggage is too thick for this kind of work - it's very thin material like the stuff an old 60s radio was covered in. I'm going to search around a bit more but may end up storing it and buying a new one. You can see it on the edges of the case - not the green inner cloth.

    I like this any more pics?

    I have a 60's Hofner Violin case needing total recovering - it's a Selmer era type. The green felt inside is present. Anybody any ideas? Potential costs? Thanks!

    CMI Jazz Bass MIJ '70s This is an old CMI branded Jazz type bass, I've also seen basses similar to this branded Grant, Maya, etc. It's actually a nice playing bass with a good neck and low action. There are experts on this forum who may know what factory it originated from. I'd guess that CMI could be Cleartone Musical Instruments - a distributor or importer's brand. The electrics are original although the bridge pickup is quite weak in comparison to the neck which produces a good strong sound. The sunburst finish is rather nice with only a couple of dings at the back, the neck is excellent, frets good, binding intact, working truss rod. The body is heavy but it's probably ply with a veneer as many of these copies were constructed. It's just over 9lbs in weight and balances well. Ashtrays are long gone though the thumb rest is there. It comes with an old strap but nothing else.
