A Westfield Strat-style guitar in a translucent black finish. 

MOP Scrathplate

Chrome hardware

Rosewood Fingerboard

Tremolo arm

I'm hard pushed to call it a gig bag as it is super flimsy, but it is included

Some minor dents that I've tried to show as well as I can in the photos.

Please give me a shout if you need anymore info.

Will post (buyer pays!)

Gig bag for Daisy Rock Heartbreaker or Daisy Bass. I’ve been told it’s a good fit for a banjo too, but I can’t confirm that myself.

It’s purple, has big pockets and a bit of damage at the bottom. The zips work.

Buyer pays for postage. 
 

Please see photos!

Fantastic looking bass, chief!

If I was long scaling it, I'd be bang up for it.

Good luck with the sale!

I bought one of these for my daughter when she had a go at learning bass many years ago. I remember it as being a great sounding and playing bass. The Duncan Designed pickup punched well above its weight. I probably would have kept it as it was the same scale length as the mustang bass I was mostly playing at the time — when I only owned one mustang, but it didn't really fit with the vibe of the Americana band I was in.

It didn’t really fit with the hardcore band I was playing in, but I didn’t listen to the drummer’s opinion on it. The pickup and the slim neck are great!

Personally I'd just hang on to the SUB neck in case you ever want to put the SUB back together again. I made the mistake of selling a 'spare' Stingray neck a few years ago and shortly afterwards wished I'd kept it!

 

If you're intent on selling it, then you'd probably realise more value overall by reassembling the USA SUB and selling it as a complete bass and then getting a new body for the SS fretless. USA SUBS are great basses (it's my current gigging bass) and they're pretty well sought after.

 

If you just want a standard SR body (rather than a custom build) you can get one for around £200 from guitarandbassbuilds.com here - https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/collections/custom-bass-bodies/products/custom-shop-music-man-stingray-bass-body.

Thank you! I'll have a look into this.

These are very highly regarded and almost always priced much higher!

I'm being reasonable, I feel.  It's in good nick but not a museum piece.

Nice.  I have 2 questions. 

Are you able to accurately weigh this, please? 

And will you post it?

Squier Vista Series MusicMaster Bass

Black version from 1996

Original Vista Series pickup, original electronics

In fact, all original apart from the scratchplate pictured but I will provide the original (white/parchment in colour)

30" scale length but through-body stringing means 32" scale length strings required.

It's got a few blemishes and whatnot as you'd expect with its age, but have tried to capture everything as best as I can on the photos.

Please get in touch if you need any other info.

Looks amazing!

I have a 2005 USA Musicman S.U.B. that I bought from new. It’s had a couple of different scratch plates and pickup covers but, in my younger years, I played in a pretty raucous rock band and it got a bit beaten up.

I’ve since got properly into short scale and also back into fretless playing so had a luthier friend make me a fretless neck to fit my SUB body to give me a short scale fretless.  I love the scale, love playing fretless again and love the MM fretless sound.

However, I have a spare SUB neck knocking about and don’t know whether or not to sell it on its own or put the SUB back together and sell it as a whole and get another body for my fretless neck. 
 

What in the heck would YOU do?!

Just out of interest, what are the neck pocket dimensions?

cheers!

Lovely looking bass! GLWTS

Thanks for the input! I agree that some of the designs are very cool and whatnot. The pricing just seems to be too low, if you know what I mean.

Thank you!

Hiya!

Has anyone any experience with J Douglas Basses? Is Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss Douglas on BassChat, perhaps? 
 

I was just after a bit of feedback or a chat with them, to be honest.

Cheers!

😊👍

Mike, sorry for not getting back sooner.  They're not going to fit my bass but thanks for measuring.

On 28/02/2023 at 11:03, mike 110 said:

😁 just now ...40mm width ..70mm length...18 mm to the bottom of the actual pickup , 20mm to bottom of the fixings .. sorry I forgot all about it  🙄

Cheers, Mike. I’ll get measured up and see if they’ll fit.

Hi Mike, have you been able to measure these yet?

Sunn, early Encore and Fenix were brill.

I sadly got rid of a Fenix Jazz and still think of it fondly. 

I’ve had two of these recently. A black one that I modded and a white(champagne?) that I moved on.

The White was an earlier “FMIC” model with the bullet truss and it had much more of a precision neck but a heavier better toned body and the Black was a “Made in India”. I think the run after the FMIC as the pickguards had the same number of screw holes. The next run of these had the same pickguards as the first Encores but they all shared the same white pickups and string tree. 
 

I had the black one first, had a route put in for truss Rod access at the body where Chris at Overwater seemed to think the body was some kind of wood a bit like mahogany but not. I had a tort pickguard, Bill Lawrence split-p pickup and a circuit by Kiogon. They neck was slimmer on this one and felt way nicer to play, for me anyway. If I’d not done all the mods to it, I’d have put that neck on the white one and modded that one, to be honest. 
 

Anyway, I’ve since moved exclusively on to short scale and sold the black one to a pal in London. Great sounding basses though!!

Here they are with my Musicman SUB (this is currently getting a fretless short scale neck on it)!

I’ve been following this guy for a while too and really enjoy his quirky designs. Would I have one? If it’s headstock heavy it’s a massive no-no for me. Balanced correctly and I would have one.

Somebody somewhere has mastered one of these In his bedroom and is probably a slapping god 😂🤣

I certainly hope so! 🤣🤣

I have one somewhere.

I tried it a couple of times, but didn't get on with it so it went back into a drawer as a bit of a curio

 

 

At last! Someone else who’s got one! I never got on with it either. I can’t find anything on the net about them.

I’m sure at the height of mark king the Bass Centre used to sell ‘Thumb Tape’ which was actually just electrical tape jacked in price 😯

Great marketing!
