![]() Now, I wanted to mention that this is, of course, only my outlook on these, yours could of course be much different. I would like one, but I wouldn't make an awful lot of effort for one. This doesn't mean that it can't be very useful in some cases or fun, but to me "fun" is the main thing that it would be. between 9 and 10 it just shifts into a much better sound. ![]() Something about having the amp on 10 really opens it up and sounds better. the bass is a P Bass with the volume rolled down to control the amount of overdrive. It was an entry level, cheap, student instrument made up of leftover parts. Thanks, The amp is turned up to 10, the tone is around 2 or 2.5. I feel like the Musicmaster would be fun, but ultimately not at all versatile in any way for either recording (which I do) or live playing (which I don't). That's not ideal in and of itself, frankly, and the noise floor that I would expect from a single single-coil pickup would annoy the hell out of me. My understanding is that the Musicmaster bass has a six pole single coil pickup there, so basically a Strat pickup instead of a four pole bass pickup. I would never want that to be my only bass.īear in mind I've never owned one, so I hardly know what I'm talking about. I've been considering a short scale bass for a while now, and I would consider that Musicmaster bass. Theres a shop in Paris trying to sell a Daphne Blue '74 for something mental like £2200 at the moment hahahahhhahahaahahahahhahaha get fucked. then maybe £800 is kinda reasonable for a vintage US-built model. I would say, considering a brand new high-end Squier bass is about £400(?) and a Fender Player Mustang bass is, what, £550 new?. This seems to be across the board and all within the last 2 years (and even more so during Covid). Custom colour 60's Jazzmaster? well, fuck your mother.was £4.5k, now at the low low price of £8k+ Competition Mustang? Was £1100-ish, now £2k. Utter madness.Įverything old has basically doubled from what I can tell. I had a job shifting my '78, in a rare colour, at an asking price of £425 just a few years ago, so one can only wonder what has happened in the meantime to make these so desirable all of a sudden. I would predict the seller will be stuck with it till Hell freezes over, but for the fact that there's one born every minute. Saw one today on my local Gumtree at £1150 (I think), which had been stripped, therefore a refin, and was from that late '70s era they all seem to be from over here. I honestly think £400-£500 tops is a more realistic price range.
