    If you're worried about the police getting involved, don't be 🤭

    A couple of sound clips (not me playing!!) With flats (this is an almost identical 1970 bass, mine sounds exactly like this) ...and with rounds - pretty funky eh

    Hi folks I haven't had this very long but I have found that my Mustang covers similar territory so I don't think I need both. I originally bought this for flatwound strings to get a really nice fundamental tone which this delivers really well. The pickup is all original and has BOTH tone caps installed and untouched, giving a really meaty bottom end. The bass was purchased by its first UK owner in 2000 from New York, and I bought it from him. I have carried out a full setup to get the neck straight (rod works well) and low action. I gave it a clean and nourished the fretboard. I left everything else original - the scratchplate is slightly cracked (they all are!) - it's fine if you're careful when unplugging. Electronics are fantastic - very little noise even with the single coil pickup (maybe because of the tone caps?) It's fitted with LaBella 760FM-S strings (49-109) which feel great. I also have a set of rounds which came on the bass, unsure of the make. I do have a (full sized) hardcase you can have, and even a box, so shipping is an option - but I'd much prefer pickup from York or nearby (happy to travel a bit). It's really hard to capture the colour! I'll try and add some more pictures in different light. Let me know if you have any questions. As Musicmasters go, this is the one to have. Why not treat yourself? Cheers ped

    Lovely - what's the little extra bit on the cavity cover? And the extra strap pin - did someone play it upside down? Or maybe with one of those waist straps?

    Would love to hear your thoughts and maybe some sounds when you’ve settled in with it.

    Had you guys seen this https://www.verellendevices.com 'Octal is a modern alternative to the traditional power vacuum tube — built to give your amp more headroom, a stronger & cleaner tone, and long-term reliability and availability you can count on'

    Mmm I like the colour of that bass! If I find it, I'm keeping it! 🤣

    I can’t be doing with friends and family coming to gigs. I don’t want them or me to feel awkward like they have to come or pretend to like it. I must admit I rarely go and see bands live now, either. I’m scared to leave the house in case the TV licence man is outside.

    Great points. I can see this working in home studios and practice rooms etc but only if everything is on the front. Particularly the power switch. I’d do exactly what you say, put big aluminium skids on the rear and wheels on the bottom, with a lid that incorporates a handle for tilting and wheeling.

    What’s ‘Eco Mode’? Does it make it cheaper? 😁

    It would be cool if it had wheels. I wonder if it’s a bit tricky to move otherwise, I could be wrong and not sure of the weight but it looks as though the height and handle might make it a bit awkward. I like the look though. I’ve always liked combos for some reason.

    Quite like it when people big up amplifiers by saying they have loads of bass, tons of mids and great treble

    Looks quite cool but hate the name. Tone Hammer. Reminds me of the fad where everything bass had to be MAX or have the letter X in it at least.

    All sorted - I gave him a call and explained

    Unfortunately not but I just chop down a standard set. That works fine, even on the skinny posts of the Musicmaster.

    Elixir strings last over a year for me.

    Something like this for sure. Retro monitors mounted at an angle. Like from a James Bond film. Bonus points if you have facial recognition software which prints out pictures of Chick Corea

    Epic 🥳 so the tall font muff didn't make the final board?

    Oh yes sorry I forgot there are different types now! It's a 4 string set, nickel.
