Looks legit, from what I can see of the photographs.
Made sometime between 1998 till current.
Perhaps someone else can pinpoint it down more from that metallic burst and the matching headstock.

My guess is between 1998 to 2003.
Ask for a photo of the neck plate and the serial number if you are serious.

Note the dirty neck! Typical because of the raw waxed Musicman necks nobody ever takes care of. |

I was also probably gonna switch the pickguard, maby clear or something... I know ive seen some cool ones before where its like clear with a lion,, or something. anyone know where i can get a clear one? I think it'd be cool to slap that same logo that's on the headstock on a pickguard, but just an idea. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Looks real...Most fakes have 4 bolt necks, get a picture of the back just to be 100% sure.

It's an enthusiast website and those serial numbers with descriptions are provided by people who already own the bass. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
