Shire Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) [b][center][size=5]*SOLD* For Sale: Vintage 1971 Fender Musicmaster Bass *SOLD* [/size][/center][/b] Good morning ladies and gents For sale is my original 1971 Fender Musicmaster. I've had this bass a while (originally purchased from here actually) and modified it slightly to suit. I am only selling because I just don't play her anymore and I really want to see her go to a new home It is being sold with its original pickguard, pickup (originally from a late 60's strat I believe) pots wiring etc (everything to make it original) I did however buy a new black pickguard for her to mount the new pickup (Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound for Single Coil P-Bass® SCPB-3), wiring and pots so that I could make it original just by swapping the loaded pickguards back over. All of the above is included in the sale. There is one thing to note, the new pickguard (black) has the holes drilled slightly off center with the holes on the body of the bass. I didn't want to modify either so instead, I have only used half of the screws (the ones that line up with the body). She is currently strung with flats but I will also include the original strings (they might be the original string from when it was made but I can't be sure) The bass is obviously quite old but still solid as a rock. As you can see from the pics it has got some natural relicing Guts: Original Pickguard, pickup and wiring: On the bass: New black pickguard, pickup and wiring: I'm after £350 for this bass. I live in Oxford so anyone who wants to come and try it please feel free to come and have a play. If I have to post it, I will do so with the neck off wrapped safely in a strong box Please ask for a postage quote but imagine it'll be around £20 Any questions please feel free to fire away Cheers, and enjoy the sunshine!

Clarky Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 1791 really would be vintage! You need to change you title :-) Good luck with sale, cool little bass
Shire Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 Haha good spot Clarky, cheers for the heads up
victorgroth Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Hi Shire! Just to make sure you see it, i have written you a personal message. I can't tell you how much i want this bass - have been looking for a white musicmaster for ages. - Victor Groth
lozbass Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Very cool bass - I had one from around '78 and it was good fun - better tuners than the earlier models but not the same reliced vibe. It looks like there's a bit of cavity re-shaping to fit the new pickup - it this the case? Whatever, this is a real bargain and I doubt it'll hang around.

Shire Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Guys and girls of Basschat. Please stop PMing me about this bass, it sold over a year ago! Cheers!
Gust0o Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Shire, could you mark the thread up as sold? It's still listed as 'for sale', so people will be getting the impression it's available. A full edit of the original post should allow you to modify the title.
Christophano Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Is the bass still for sale? LOL! Joke! That thing is/was very cool.
