Headstock doesn't look quite right to me or is it just the perspective & angle of the photos?

it looks fine to me apart from the fact it doesn't seem to be aged at all.
the musicmaster headstocks just look weird and disproportionate anyway IMO.

I would agree with Colledge.

Seems like a wierd thing to fake as well! Musicmasters never go for great money would make very little sense to fake on up to the standard that is!

Cool thanks guys, I used to own one of these in the mid 70's - traded it for a synth in the early '80's I seem to remember

They were only £100 brand new then but it seemed like a fortune then - especially when you consider what you can get today for very little money as a 'starter' bass'!
