After a brief dalliance in the world of short scale, up for sale is my Squier Vista Series Musicmaster Bass. I bought this back in June after having wanted one for years, but the 30" scale just isn't for me. Made in China for a year in around 1996, so 26 years old now.

 

It's in excellent condition overall, with just one small chip on the rear side, and some light surface scratches on the back, but is very clean on the front. The top coat has clearly yellowed over the years and is now a much deeper colour of pink. The pickguard has also aged but must have had a sticker on it at some point as the shadow of it is still there.

 

When it arrived it was pretty grubby and had a broken nut, so I stripped it, cleaned all the hardware, and shielded the cavities, and had a new nut made for it at Strung Out in Glasgow, who also gave the frets a good polish while they were at it. I re-strung it with a set of medium scale D'Addario Chromes so that they fit through the body.

 

Wiring all works and has the Vista Tone pickup, though the VT logo on the pickup was a bit damaged so I removed it altogether for a cleaner look. It sounds very meaty, not what I expected from a short scale, with a lot of P Bass-style clank with the tone open.

 

Price is what I paid for it 3 months ago, not including the cost of the new nut or strings. Comes with a cheap-but-functional gig bag, and I've got a box so shipping should be doable. Any questions, just let me know.
