Factor in shipping and this one went for $400 to someone.

Is there a fender musicmaster club? I only have a 78 fender not squier.

That appears to be a very good deal. Reasonable shipping fees too. Will be interested to see the final selling price.

Not sure if this is the answer that your looking for but I will say this:
When these photos were taken the bass had been in the case all day. It had just been thru a car ride, and moved from the trunk to back seat, and held in an upright position while entering my apartment. Basically, it had been moved a lot, and these pics are how the bass was resting when I opened the case.

Hope this helps.

Hey Man, I got that case in the mail yesterday from Rondo. Like you said (and if anyone else is interested) it's not the most durable case but is perfectly usable and expectable quality. I'd recommend it

I used to have the seafoam green one. I got it for a good deal so i eventually passed it on to someone else for the same. I do miss it. It was a great bass.

Not to mention it's virtually the only short scale case on the market.

Stupid indigestion woke me up, so how do I cure it? A glass of milk and TB!

This is good to know, since I have been wanting a Mustang pretty much since I bought my MusicMaster

This past summer I bought a used Bronco, and aside from the obvious, I noticed that the neck felt different. Not good or bad, just a small noticeable thing. Probably has the same radius.

I do agree. I didn't think it would be a big club either. More for us!

It's a small, but enthusiastic group of Vista MusicMaster owners

In all honesty there are already more members than I ever expected. Someday we'll hit double digits!
Which reminds me... time for a membership update:

You're killing me here LOL! Sure wish I had the funds for that bass at this time, but it's the perfect wrong moment.
Beautiful job on the mods! As I can't swing it right now, I hope you don't mind if I copy it a bit and put a pickguard like that on my black Bronco bass

Thanks TK! I actually have the equipment to make a maple pickguard myself. Might give it a shot once I get through the Xmas season.

Thanks, I cant believe it either..It really is an awesome Bass but I think some people are put off that it is a Squier but this Bass is now up to par or pass par with the Fender MIJ reissue Mustang. Sound wise for sure

I guess its just bad timing with the Holiday and all...Someone will snatch it up sooner or later.

Great! Making one would be a lot cheaper. Hope you post pics when you make one. I love wood accessories on Basses

agent77 · #**117** 01-30-2013, 02:30 AM

Well guys, I haven't been playing my MusicMaster much since I got my Mustang, but I picked it up a few days ago and fell in love with it all over again. I think I'll bring it along to my next recording session. I'm really digging the sound I get playing it thru Ashdown Blueline speakers.

agent77 · #**118** 02-17-2013, 11:41 AM

Still digging my MusicMaster. Time to change strings, and this time I think I'll try either T.I. or LaBella Deep Talkers. Anyone wanna voice their opinion?

BTW, I just scored an early 70's Fender MM in a trade deal here in the classifieds. I should get here tomorrow. I hope I'm not at work when the UPS guy gets here.
