Squier MusicMaster Vista Club

[Bourbongangster]

Some interesting posts there! BTW if either of you guys would like to join the club let me know

Took my Vista MM to my "gig" (AKA church) today and took an Insta, so I guess I'm covered on the picture qualification.

Sorry to ask the question that has probably been asked too many times, but strings....Thought I had it sussed but keep reading that some strings don't fit etc.

Do Short Scale chromes fit/work fine with the through body and does the La Bella Mustang set work fine?

Thanks in advance

You should use either long scale, or at least medium scale, since it's a string-through body. I learned that the hard way when I just got my Vista MM about a week ago.

Oh really? What strings did you buy that didn't fit?

 

[Bourbongangster]

Right now it has whatever strings it came with but Ill eventually put flats on it once i have some extra money. I already wasted a set of flats because of my mistake. It's kinda a long story. Just trust me on this. You have to account for the extra distance from where the string balls would normally be to where they will be with the string through.

Short scale Chromes fit fine on both my Vistas.

Sorry for what? No issues here.

Picked this one up years ago fairly cheap (less than $100). Oriiginally gave it to my then young son who did his own *ahem* relic-ing to it. "Borrowed" it back yesterday. I guess I need knobs, a pickguard and strings. What do you think? Sounds terrific. Better than a CIJ Mustang I recently picked up

I really dig that! Whats up with the black stuff on the pickguard? Did someone autograph it?

Just sorry for leading @Michael Sinclair astray

Pete Wentz . Not that it's a big deal but, I'll probably replace the pickguard and save the current one. then just get new knobs, replace the strings and enjoy

Pretty cool. Especially since the black with a red pickguard matches Pete Wentz's Sig bass.

OK... that bass looks so nice I am adding you to the club, even though you didn't officially ask

66 members!

Hey Mako, remember your first post?

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

 

[MakoMan]

66 members!

Hey Mako, remember your first post?

Yeah I am really blown away by how much this club has grown over the years. I honestly thought we'd be lucky to get 10 members LOL!

Just picked this beauty up yesterday,a co-worker told me he had a Squire bass in his closet for 20 years,I was expecting a Jazz or P bass but when I opened the case I was pleasantly surprised as I dig playing a short scale(I own a 69 EB-1),don't think you could possibly find a nicer Vista as this one is virtually un-played !

Nice! I don't know if that's a parchment colored pickguard or if it aged that color, but it looks great with that sonic blue.
