tony_m Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 My first "proper" bass, with my first "proper" amp (Trace BLX-80)... [attachment=57341:musicmaster.jpg] 1978/79, SD Hot Rails pup, TI Jazz flats, more creamy/yellow than appears from the pic, weighs a ton.

She's a bit tatty here and there, is rather on the heavy side, and sounds like farting into a trashcan (© Dusty Hill), but I don't think I'll ever part with her.

NeilMorrell Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Well, it's 79. I picked it up in a right state in August 1989 (for £65). I patched her up here and there, but after a few years decided that she really need to be given the love and attention she deserved, and decided to get her back to something like normal. However, I'm not very good at stuff like that - particularly the sanding and painting, so at the start of November, I passed all the bits to someone who DOES. I got it back last week looking like this, Boy does she play well. Has a Seymour Duncan SHR-1b Pup in and sounds lush (as long as you leave it as far from the strings as you can!!).

Stag Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thats a cool MM Neil, nice one! My one had a similar story... picked it up about 5 years or so ago all sanded down to the wood and in desperate need of some TLC. It came out the other end looking like this : [attachment=96016:stage 3 - the completed bass!.JPG] I used it live for a while, but that crappy pickup Fender put in there in the first place really didnt cut the mustard. An SD pickup sounds like a fine choice to get it "out there" and heard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMorrell Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Nice looking MM there Stag. If anyone is interested, I may be able to get some accurate bodys made, If blanks are done, then they can be routed further to either Musicmaster or Mustang as per required. One thing! If you can't find the original bridge, DO NOT attempt to put a Squire Bronco Bridge (easily available on EBay, or I have one for sale - however, I have a "bitsa" 51 P Bass in mind at the mo so may use it on that) on a Musicmaster Body. The rear screw holes are not in the same place - and the bridge routs on the MM body are exactly where the back screws will go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
