The topnut has been filed (by a Fender tech who's been in the business for over 35 years) to accommodate a larger B string.
I use ZOG Evenly Graduated Tension Strings, but you can install any set you want when you get this bass.
It has a HUGE low B with no buzz.
It has Kent Armstrong Soapbar Pickups.
Now $900.00 firm and you pay shipping.
Included is a hardshell case and the tools that came with the bass, the owners manual and original bill of sale.

In the interest of full disclosure, there is a ding that is less than one millimeter in diameter
right behind the D string where the straplock on my strap slapped it as I was putting the strap on.
It is so small that a picture won't hardly pick it up, but I will be glad to attempt a pic of it
just to make sure that everything is known about this bass.
Other than this tiny ding, the rest of this bass is immaculate with no scratches whatsoever.
I will supply all the pictures you want.
This is an incredible sounding bass, and the playability is the best you can get.
The neck is superb!
Thanks for looking.
Rufus

I had one of these and was not able to keep it. But man, the neck was fantastic! A super nice feel to the neck which also had the most awesome birdseye maple that I have ever seen.

Make sure you post a full on shot with no angles. These have a great look to them with elegant lines and a nice take on the headstock shape, too. I went to the shop in Madison and Dick & Dave were good guys who put a lot of TLC into their instruments.

Cheers.

I own a 5 string fretless US Masters and I would never sell it...The neck is amazing and the bass just sings.
Good luck with the sale.

I can also attest, I picked a 4 string EP43 (I believe that's the one) fretless, and wow, it is amazing. I have and/or had MTD's, Roscoe's, Dingwalls, Sadowsky's, etc, and this bass is a keeper. Us Masters is top notch.

Playability is superior even to Carvin and that is saying something because I've heard those who dis Carvin for whatever reason but you gotta give it to them, Carvin playability is really tops.

This US is just a fine fine fine instrument. I would love to keep her but my hands just don't fit the 19mm spacing. You would not think that 1mm would make that much difference but for me it does.

Thanks for looking.....oh, and btw, the low B is thunderous and clear on this bass....another reason she really is a keeper/

Marked down for quick sale.
I have a Paypal account but would rather take a personal check or cashier's check.
Thanks again for looking.

Thanks songwriter21, and I haven't even spent any time talking about these Kent Armstrong pups but they are as superb as this neck.
If my back were in better shape and and my finances didn't need help I would be installing new strings instead of a new post.

And I'd buy it today if it were 34" scale. It appears from their website all their 5 strings are 35" by default. :(

I thought 35" scale would be a stretch but I was used to it in a matter of minutes.
Still, I understand your preference for sure.
