For anyone interested in the bass that replaced my master man.



Also. I have a friend with a beat up master man. The finish is beat up as well as the hardware tarnished. Any idea on price to ask? An idea what the price is for a used wenge neck as well? He could always part it out.

Depends what you mean by "beat up"! 4 strings or 5? Keep in mind that the Mastermans (Mastermen) are the most popular of the fortress series... with everyone except me (I don't slap!)

True enough. How beat up is beat up? Got pics?

I love my Masterman and I don't slap either! (Not very well anyway) Great range of tones in these things, including the slap tones you can get out of them!

They DO get a good range of tones for having both pickups so close to the bridge. Overall the Masterman has a solid, authoritative sound - but I'm a neck pickup guy so I don't even appreciate the playing area. I do want to get a fortress J5 one of these days... and another Flashback - man, what a unique instrument that is. NOTHING sounds like it, and it sounds GREAT.
