US Masters still in business?

[Finneus]

I tried to call both the local and toll free numbers for US Masters, but the numbers are out of service. Does anyone know if they are still in business?

[Finneus]

Bump.

I don't know if they're still in business, but the only US Masters bass I've ever heard of or seen is a used one at the Guitar Center by me. It's a fiver for 650 bucks.

The only other one I've seen is one I got at a GC near me for $200, IIRC. Same as the one you're talking about, only with a mahogany body. It was a really nice bass, although not my cup of tea, aesthetically.

I'm going to be putting one up for sale that I had bought used a few years back . I wanted to get the specs on it so I had more information for a prospective buyer. Emailed and called, but no reply to the email and the phones don't appear to be valid anymore.

They seem to be.

Here's a link to their contact info: http://www.usmasters.com/contact.htm

Unfortunately, the number listed is not in "temporarily not in service".

They always seemed to be slightly under the radar as a company. Loved every U.S. Masters bass I ever saw, however.

OK, I did find out some information. Looks like Young Guitars bought them out in 2011. Here is a link. Emailing Young to see if they have the specs for my bass.

Perhaps Young Guitars is not with us anymore either?
