    Th Official Fender Musicmaster Bass Club

    I know this thread is kinda old but I just got this bass back, it was my first bass , other than the ones I borrowed to learn to play. My dad bought it for me in 1976 , I sold it in 1978 to purchase a brand new Ibanez musician bass. A couple of weeks ago the guy I sold it to came to my work and...

    Yes, I still have the originals on it. I disassembled the one that was giving problems and now it is better. I still want to replace them eventually.

    Sorry it has taken so long but since I was called out on the gig pics I guess late is better than never. This was a pre 4th outdoor gig .

    Hey Abner, I've been on the Schaller website, I found the M4 90's to fit the 12m hole , but the " buttons " are butt ugly. The M4 lights look a lot like the factory Ibanez ...but ...they are for a 14m hole. I guess I will see if they will mix and match, if not I will just live with it .

    I had the house to myself last night so I was able to crank up the volume. I had forgotten what a great tone these basses have . I don't know if its the mahogany/ ash body or the big single coil or a combination of both but the only other bass I have that sounds this good is my spector Euro4...

    Thanks a ton Alex, that's what I needed to know. I ordered a set of gotoh tuners but they were for 9/16" hole and too big for the hole so I returned them. I sure wasn't gonna ream the hole out on a vintage neck through bass. Thanks again.

    Correction , they look just like Gotoh GB7 tuners , so I may have just answered my on question. Gonna have to measure the hole in the headstock before I place the order.

    Does anyone have a part # for replacement tuners . Mine are acting a little funky , in a bad way . I would like some that would be a direct fit . Mine is the 1978 passive 4 string. They look like grovers with a single screw .

    Carvin BX500: Pt. 3

    I can't comment on this amps dependability since I just got it , but it impressed me and everyone in the band this past weekend. I play in a loud 3 piece and this amp never broke a sweat and I was playing too loud on purpose just to see what it could do. I've had a lot of rigs , not combos, I'm...

    Carvin BX500: Pt. 3

    I made that same statement to the tech at Carvin , he assured me that had been taken care of . But , they were also trying to sell it to me so I'll take that with a grain of salt. I've never owned a Carvin product until I got a brx10.2 cab. I liked it so I bought a second one. When I started...

    Carvin BX500: Pt. 3

    My Bx500 arrived yesterday, I only got to play about 20 minutes on my lunch break, through one BRX10.2. I am not used to an amp this light , it feels like its made out of nothing. However, it does have some ass sound wise . I set it up flat at first, then with the low mids at 100hz and low mid...
