1971 Fender Musicmaster

Since I'm keeping the starfire, I've decided to move this one on, I don't need two shortscale basses

Pics are in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11068"]this thread[/url]

It is full of mojo (i.e. genuine dings and wear, and the bridge is pretty tarnished in places) and there is a fair amount of fret wear (its a well used 37 year old bass!!!), but
it has a fabulous tone, especially acoustically

I took out the original pup and controls (which I still have and will include in the sale) and put in a kent armstrong blade g***ar pup wired straight to the output jack. I think one of the pots has been replaced since they are different sizes, but everything else is original AFAIK.

Not sure what to ask price wise, so I thought I'd see if there were any offers/ suggestions on price

Go on then £40 and your breaking my arm.

I think these go for between £300 - £400 but I'm sure someone knows better than me.

suggestions for price - I sold one on ebay around 18 months ago (a '78 in white, fair to good condition) for around £350. The market was very different then (!) but I'd still be aiming for something like £330 - 400 - a lot depends on who's looking for one and how much they want it.

Thanks for your thoughts, I saw an immaculate one on ebay sell at £470 (see [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-MUSICMASTER-BASS-GUITAR-VINTAGE-USA-SHORT-SCALE_W0QQitemZ280290035872QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item280290035872&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A13|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]this ebay page[/url]) but in general I agree with £300 - £400

I think I'll set it at £325 collected but I will prolly aim higher if it goes to ebay
