Description
What’s special about this bass: This is a phenomenal sounding vintage Musicmaster bass with a great feel. The pickup provides a very clear sound that is very punchy with the tone control up all the way. Rolling the tone control down about half way results in a highly useable warmer sound that still have plenty of body and just the right amount of high end remaining. This makes the bass particularly versatile. Add to that a great vintage look and feel and you have a great sounding, affordable vintage bass!
Condition: Very good overall shape for the instruments age. There are various scratches, nicks, dings, dents and small chips throughout the bass with some buckle rash on the back. Fingerboard and frets are in very good shape with only light play wear and plenty of life left in them. There are a few very small cracks along some of the pickguard screws but the screws and pickguard both stay in place just fine. The neck is super comfortable with great action up and down the fingerboard and the truss rod functions perfectly. The pickguard is unoriginal however all the electronics are original. One pot dates to 1977, the other to 1974. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Solid double-cutaway body in Olympic white finish. The finish has developed a beautiful patina giving the finish an authentic aged look! Top-load bridge with two adjustable saddles, black skirted control knobs and a 3-ply black pickguard.
Neck: Very nicely rounded, slender maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Pearloid dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. Open-gear Fender tuners, 30” scale length.
Pickups/Electronics: Original Fender single-coil pickup with master volume and tone controls.
Pickup: 5.51K Ohms.
Weight: 7lbs, 12.0oz.
