Happy Jack Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Did they really use a 6-pole pickup then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Four according to this. [url="http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/fender72p24.php"]http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/fender72p24.php[/url]. £300 is bit too cheap for a 72 with a case. smells fishy.

Guest BassKS Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 [quote name='gareth' post='380697' date='Jan 14 2009, 09:12 PM']yes but they were usually closed covers with no magnets shown so you could'nt see the 6 poles[/quote] im with gareth on this one. Musicmaster was supposed to be a students bass a poor mans choice. The used Strat pickup and just bunged it in. Im not sure they even compensated on windings. But man dont they sound lovely. Im tempted myself. In fact, Aero pickups (used by Fodera) have come up with a nice replacement with 4 poles. 300 is a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 [quote name='gareth' post='381047' date='Jan 15 2009, 10:07 AM']I bought this bass and can confirm that the neck is dated 72 and stamped J Torres, the pots are 71's and there is the usual paint stick in the neck pocket showing the finish to be original. Its a great little bass and weighs in at less than 7lbs[/quote] Great result and what a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
