SOLD! Squier Musicmaster 'Vista Series' 30" scale sonic blue £275 £275

[Paul S]

I bought this fairly recently but an expensive purchase means some basses have to go

Squier Musicmaster Vista Series in sonic blue. These were a limited run for one year in 1997, made in China. There is a lot of stuff on the interweb about these and why they are bit special. Because 'special' they are.

Finished in sonic blue with matching headstock, 30" scale maple neck with rosewood board, nicely curved radius and big frets. 42mm at the nut. Lightweight at 8lbs. Rather than the 'strat pickup of the Fender Musicmaster bass these have a proper 'Vista Tone' 4 pole pickup that is loud and aggressive - a far cry from the weedy Fender Musicmaster. Other improvements include a through body strung bridge that has proper adjustable saddles.

This one is in fabulous condition, with barely a mark on the paint. One tiny lacquer crack by the side of the neck. The very slightest of neck twists - you can see the way the bridge saddles are staggered to accommodate this. I once had a 'proper' Fender Musicamaster bass and, frankly, this is in a different league.

Used but serviceable hard case.

£275 collected from SS7 in southeast Essex, £25 fully insured overnight courier to mainland UK meet half way or could possibly deliver for fuel.
