Squier MusicMaster Vista Club

The neck does have a tiny bit of play at the case's neck cut-out (maybe a half inch), but I don't think it's an issuse, especially with the case closed. The headstock just kinda floats in there freely. Plenty of room all around it, even with my hand under the headstock.

Not sure if this is the answer that your looking for but I will say this:
When these photos were taken the bass had been in the case all day. It had just been thru a car ride, and moved from the trunk to back seat, and held in an upright position while entering my apartment. Basically, it had been moved a lot, and these pics are how the bass was resting when I opened the case.

Hope this helps.

Hey Man, I got that case in the mail yesterday from Rondo. Like you said (and if anyone else is interested) it's not the most durable case but is perfectly usable and expectable quality. I'd recommend it

Stupid indigestion woke me up, so how do I cure it? A glass of milk and TB! :eyebrow:

By the way guys, I bought myself a CIJ Fender Mustang re-issue about a month back, and the MusicMaster rivals it in playability, and quality. I do like the pick-up in the Mustang better tho.

This is good to know, since I have been wanting a Mustang pretty much since I bought my MusicMaster

The MusicMaster neck feels flatter than the Mustang, I think that is the 7.5" neck radius, whereas the MusicMaster probably has a 9.5".

This past summer I bought a used Bronco, and aside from the obvious, I noticed that the neck felt different. Not good or bad, just a small noticeable thing. Probably has the same radius.

This could potentially end up being the smallest club on TB, but what the heck. I love this bass.

I do agree. I didn't think it would be a big club either. More for us!

Just an FYI to all you short scale lovers. :D

You're killing me here LOL! Sure wish I had the funds for that bass at this time, but it's the perfect wrong moment.
Beautiful job on the mods! As I can't swing it right now, I hope you don't mind if I copy it a bit and put a pickguard like that on my black Bronco bass :D

Thanks, I cant believe it either..It really is an awesome Bass but I think some people are put off that it is a Squier but this Bass is now up to par or pass par with the Fender MIJ reissue Mustang. Sound wise for sure :D I guess its just bad timing with the Holiday and all...Someone will snatch it up sooner or later. :)

Thanks TK! I actually have the equipment to make a maple pickguard myself. Might give it a shot once I get through the Xmas season.

Great! Making one would be a lot cheaper. Hope you post pics when you make one. I love wood accessories on Basses :bassist:

Well guys, I haven't been playing my MusicMaster much since I got my Mustang, but I picked it up a few days ago and fell in love with it all over again. I think I'll bring it along to my next recording session. I'm really digging the sound I get playing it thru Ashdown Blueline speakers.
 
#118
Still digging my MusicMaster. Time to change strings, and this time I think I'll try either T.I. or LaBella Deep Talkers. Anyone wanna voice their opinion?


BTW, I just scored an early 70's Fender MM in a trade deal here in the classifieds. I should get here tomorrow. I hope I'm not at work when the UPS guy gets here.
