Looking for my first bass (Did you buy a White Squier Musicmaster in Salford)

My first ever bass was a Squier Musicmaster in white, like this

I sold it when I was 16. I had no idea it was worth anything, I'd started playing 6 string basses, and I really wanted to buy a drum kit. I had one school friend who'd give me a kit for £50 and another who'd give me £50 for the bass - sorted. However, I've never been able to let it go, and as time goes by (I'm now 35) the regret gets more intense. About 5 years ago, the person I sold it to got in touch on Facebook. She's now living in the states. Of course I asked about the bass and she explained she'd given it to her sister, but she'd ask if I could buy it back. The sister said no, but if she ever came to sell it she'd let me know

I'm struggling with a wrist injury at the moment. I can't play my 6 strings, even a standard P is difficult, so I was looking at some short scale basses and thought I'd contact her again just on the off chance. It turns out the sister sold it to a guy in Salford last year for £250. I'd have easily paid double that to get it back!

I wonder if anyone on here bought it? Or knows anyone who did? I put a deep gouge in the top by the jack socket, I assume that's not been repaired.

Ha!

This morning, I decided that I'd sell my Squier Musicmaster. Put it on Gumtree, I thought. Just before I did that, I checked the BC "Wanted" section and discovered that Cheddatom was looking for a white Musicmaster. We swapped photos and -yes! - I had his first ever bass. It's now back with him, and I'm really pleased that it turned out the way it did. 

Bit of BC Karma, right there.

I am over the moon. Spent an hour playing it last night after getting back to stoke and it feels so "right". Thanks so much Steve
