Jellyfish Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi all, I thought you'd enjoy some pics of two basses that arrived to me from a very loving home :). I originally had my eye on the Squier Musicmaster as I'd never owned a short scale before. Apparently only produced for one year in 1997 but please correct me if I'm wrong. All I can say is that I now completely understand why people adore short scale basses. Even without the beautiful thump from the single coil, it's just fantastic to play. It's in good condition considering it's age and it's even got a bit of birdseye in the neck! The second bass is a Fender Modern Player Telecaster. They're fairly new (as far as Fenders go) but it's really quite nice. The pickups really standout and they're super versatile. The mudbucker by itself is my favoruite though. I may be tempted to sell them at some point but for now, enjoy the pics! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Nice haul! I own a Vista Musicmaster which has quadrupled in value since I got it as my first bass in 2002ish. I remember playing one of those tele basses in a shop, pretty sure they used that pickup in a Mustang too. I liked it so much I emailed Fender asking if I could buy, alas no dice. Enjoy mate!

EddHytheTown Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Nice! I remember really liking the look of the Blonde Modern Player Telecaster, but that sunburst isn't too bad either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for strings? I'm leaning towards trying nylons but I've never played them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
