Description
What makes this bass/amp combo special: We recently acquired this sweet Musicmaster Bass & matching amp from the original owner, so rather than splitting them up, we decided to sell them together as a package. They've been lifelong buddies for the past forty odd years so it seemed a shame for them to part ways. Both are in great shape & have been professionally inspected & set up. The amp actually comes with its original owners manual.
Cosmetic Condition: Both are in really nice shape for their ages with typical modest play wear. The bass shows minor nicks, dents & dings; surface scratches & some mild weather checking. The Olympic White finish has aged beautifully into more of a banana cream color & shows off a gorgeous patina. The amp is in similar condition, with some light stains in the grille cloth. The amp was just recently re-coned, but aside from that both items are all original & fully functioning. Not to mention they look fabulous together.
Neck: Nicely rounded maple neck with black side-dots. Beautiful, dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with no wear. Headstock decals are in great shape. Open-back nickel tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 5/8" nut width; 30" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition. Neck dates to '75.
Body: Solid poplar body finished in Olympic White. Top-loading bridge with two adjustable bar saddles. 3-ply white pickguard with black thumb-rest. Bass weighs 7 lbs 0.8 oz.
Electronics: Grey bottom single coil pickup with black cover - 5.59K ohms. The pickup dates to '75. Master volume & tone controls with black knobs. Both pots date to '74 & all electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Original chipboard case included.
Amp: The amp is also in perfect working condition & features dual inputs with master volume & tone controls. Single 12" speaker dates to '74. Output transformer dates to '73 & the power transformer dates to '76. Despite the disparity in years of the various components, everything appears to be original to the amp. It has been tested & is fully functioning. Dimensions are 20 1/4" x 17" x 9 1/2" & it weighs about 22 lbs.
