I currently play bass, mainly fretless in an acoustic (apart from the bass!) duo/trio, in Oxford playing vaguely psych/ pop/ folk. Been alternating on bass and g***** for around 30 years. my gear: U.S. Masters EP42 in (oiled) Lacewood. Stunning Birdseye neck, Pao Ferro board. Early s.n. B61 (1997?), now has a new Masters fretless neck (black lines on Pao Ferro) U.S. Masters EP42, maple trans. blue, Birdseye maple 'board, B101 2x Hohner Jack Bass in natural, 1 defretted. Trace Elliot 300W 1x15 combo Roland Bass cube 30 for small stuff Cheers Jules Anyone else out there play U.S. Masters? There's not a lot about over here, it seems. Quote
Merton Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Hello! Pics of this "US Masters" bass please! Never heard of them! Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 I had some nice ones which I appear to have lost, but will try to get some up soon. The lacewood is a thing of beauty. The have very compact bodies and look in proportion on a little chap like me! May look a bit weeny on a hoooj guy! Quote

A forum where people talk about golf and golf alone. Welcome along! Quote

I've not done this before so I hope it comes out ok. I forgot to mention they're quite light too, the lacewood is 7.5 lbs the blue (maple) 8.5 lbs. What do you think? MBA Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 [quote name='Merton' post='271873' date='Aug 28 2008, 04:19 PM']Nice![/quote] Thanks! There's a lot of nice shiny stuff on their website: www.usmasters.com/ I must admit, I had never heard of them either. I went to a guys house to check out a Lightwave bass he was selling, wasn't too mad about that but saw this in his rack and was knocked out by it, made an offer and got it the next week. Got the blue one a few weeks later off the same bloke. These were the "low end" of his collection, including Pedullas, Zon, Skjolds etc! Quote
