tarcher Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Hi chaps and chappeses Anybody got any idea how much a 1977 one is worth and what issues to lookout for on it. I've been offered a white one,no case in fairly reasonable nick for £310. Cheers Edited January 7, 2010 by tarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Check it hasn´t been modded! Lots of people tend to go chopping and changing the pickups on these. Make sure the neck is straight and th frets are ok. other than that,not much else. in terms of sound, I always thought they were a bit lightweight, but they were introduced as budget models initailly for people who couldn´t afford the P bass. Seems like an ok price to me. Just hope the finish hasn´t aged as harshly as my 78 Oly white Precision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 £310 is a very good price for a 70's Musicmaster. Assuming it's fairly straight and plays OK, I'd have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good chatting with you on the phone earlier tarcher. Sounds promising to me. Pretty much as I said on the phone but I agree with the above posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 No idea how much it's worth - but I think I paid £85 for a new one, probably in '77. Sadly I had to sell it to raise the £275 for my Ric 4001! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If you don't want it, I'll take it at that price. I'm serious. Assuming no significant problems, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Nice. I like musicmasters, although I've sold the pink one and the lilac one belongs to my daughter. [attachment=39680:musicmasters.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
