Having actually properly looked at this range instead of just making jokes about Fender recycling model names. These are some of the best colours they've had in a range in a while IMO. The Green P bass and Mustang look great.
I have a Vista Musicmaster - my first ever bass - which I love dearly...but is always on the edge of being modded. Leaving the original pickup but maybe a nice chrome humbucker at the bridge?
Only nostalgia is stopping me from doing it
I've followed Seldon on Instagram for a good while and really like his designs, even the weird headstock!
For those that don't like it, he can do a more traditional 2+2 for you...
I'm sorry, but for £3,400 - that's sheer laziness. Zero effort to actually try and make a new model, especially when they have the 480 in their back catalogue
Think what most other custom builders could do for over £3k.
I appreciate this may be a phase, but I look forward to the day that I find *my* bass, like you seem to with Mustangs/Musicmasters.
It's always fun to buy and sell gear - but having a bass style you just enjoy playing is really the end goal for most of us.
They look great!
Just spotted this after looking at Alnus basses from another thread.
A replacement Mustang neck for under £200 - think that could be of use to any future short scale projects people may have in mind!
