U.S Masters EP5 5 string basses?

[LowMax]

Does anyone know about these basses? I have my eye on one but I don't know anything about them and I can't find much on the net either. What is their quality level? Do they sound and play on a high level? pickups?, neck? etc...etc...
Any and all help will be much appreciated!
Thanx in advance.

I have a US Masters EP 5 string. It's a good bass. Sound and build quality is very good. It has a mahogany body and mine is a little heavy. The company went out of business several years ago. There is a club here on TB for them and that could give you some good info.

Thanks for the info! Do you think it's worth $600. with dings and wear and tear?

That's in the ballpark may be a little high. Like most not very well known brands they don't have very good resale. I think I paid $500 for mine.

Here's one on Reverb should give you an idea of current market value.

I know this a few years old but I've had mine for 10+years. Well made, great active circuit, great feeling neck. When I ordered mine I got a custom finish. Nice neck pocket almost like a neck through. I hope you got it and are enjoying yours as must as I do mine.
