SOLD 1973 Musicmaster rat rod

Up for sale is a really cool “rat rod” restoration of a 1973 musicmaster bass. It sounds so good.

Parts:
Original bridge
Original body
Original neck/neck plate/nut

Curtis Novak GT-V Goldfoil wound for bass (seriously killer pickup - I have two basses with Curtis’ Bi-sonics in it and this very much holds its own)
Hipshot Ultralight clovers
Old aluminum knobs from a 70’s radio
Older Squier bronco pickguard

Neck is solid as a rock. Plenty of life in the truss rod. Honestly I like the feel of the neck more than most p basses I’ve played.
The finish… has lived a lifetime of pain. I’ll post more pics tomorrow. Honestly, I wanted to refinish it but the color looks so cool it left me conflicted.

Asking $850 shipped CONUS. Potentially open to trades as well. Maybe a Roadworn P or J bass?

 

I’m going to add some more pics of the bass in a little bit. It weighs about like my strat - maybe 7-8 lbs? Super light.

Here’s a couple of clips of the bass. One is just a clip I sent to my buddy so ignore the horrible upshot to my nose lol.

The other is a clip of me using it at church with some overdrive.

 

Here’s a few more pics. Like I said, it’s had a rough life. But the finish could be redone rather easily. The neck feels SOOOO good.
