There oughtta be a law...

Meh, it’s just a Musicmaster. Whenever that chopping was done, it was a budget bass. The real crime is the asking price.

To me its still a budget bass. I don't get the allure of those things.

You must get over the idea that every single Fender is a priceless,sacred heirloom that must be preserved in it's mint condition.

I'm still amazed that bassists still buy fenders with so many superior options at every price range

i've modified hammers, screwdrivers, side-cuts, crowbars, nails and screws, etc...i'm not seeing the difference.

BASS CRIME

it's difficult for me to share your enthusiasm.

Is it worth that much? Probably to someone. Is it a crime? Na. They made a ton of them and honestly they were a budget instrument. Also back than it wasn’t vintage and the only reason why its worth money is it says Fender and is from the 70’s. You could pick one up for 3-500 up until 10 years ago. We all (myself included) put a lot of value into instruments but at the end of the day they are all just made from the same stuff and the audience can’t tell the difference between a Thunderbird and a Stingray.

Dosnt bother me at all.

 

[Slevage]

That’s a Hambeiger

If the neck, neck plate, tuners, bridge and pickups were being parted out separately for a total of $550 nobody would bat an eye.

Looks like something Devo would use.

Ha, love the intentional lack of a wristwatch on the bassist.
