Papalampraina Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) [b][color=#ff0000]SOLD LOCALLY[/color][/b] The bass: It's a Fender Musicmaster bass, all original, even the case. It's in great condition despite its age. The serial number identifies it as a 1977/78 made instrument. It's black with a black pickguard, rosewood fretboard, the typical 6-pole pickup, 30" short scale, etc. No cracks, no dents, only some swirls on the body. Right now it has a mint pickguard with a Tesla "hot-rails-like" humbucker with a 3-way switch (series/parallel/single) and all new electronics. The original parts are in my hands of course. Since the pickups and the electronics are mounted on the pickguard, it's very easy to change from one to another. It is currently strung with rounds. Price is £650 plus shipping costs. I'm open for a trade with a black Squier VM Mustang, with cash my way. Edited January 14, 2012 by Papalampraina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 That looks to be in lovely condition. What price are you looking for (I believe you have to state a price)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papalampraina Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I thought because it is a feeler, I didn't have to, but I was thinking something around £650 plus shipping costs. All in all, somewhere around £700. Edited January 3, 2012 by Papalampraina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I had a Musicmaster my first bass when I was at school, my Mum & Dad got it for me mail order from Kingfisher Music, secondhand and shop soiled for the princely sum of £85 - I sold the bass on of course ([i]if anyone out there has a cream one with a large darker oblong patch on the upper front of the body that may be my old Musicmaster [/i]) but I still have the original price ticket and the owners manual! Great little basses - have a nostalgic bump on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Is this a 30'' or 32'' scale bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold it about 4 years later and bought a synth - remembe this was the early '80's Didn't play bass again for a very long time I don't even have a picture of it now, in fact the closest I've got to any memorabilia is photo of my wedding cake which was modelled as a life size replica of the bass! Anyway - great little basses that can cop a really nice vintage thumpy tone, especially with those flats on, and the short scale is surprisingly fun to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papalampraina Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 No Musicmaster for old men. It is a nice little bass and I really like short scale basses (already have one) but I'm in need of money. I wish I could keep it, but I can't.

Papalampraina Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Because I'm a sucker for maple, I could trade this for a black Squier VM Mustang. So, happy new bump to everyone!!! Edited January 5, 2012 by Papalampraina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
