About the Fender Musicmaster Bass
The Musicmaster Bass is Fender's short-scale student bass, made in Fullerton, California, largely from surplus Mustang Bass parts: a 30 inch scale, 19 frets, a nut of about 1 5/8 inch, a 7.25 inch radius and a maple neck with a thin rosewood board. A single six-pole guitar pickup feeds one volume and one tone control on the pickguard, and the bridge has two adjustable saddles. Production ended in 1981, and the basses on offer are dated 1970 to 1981. Squier reissued it briefly in 1997; that reissue is not covered here.
The earliest came in Daphne Blue, which usually turns green, with pearloid pickguards; Dakota Red and Olympic White are common, the white usually yellowed to cream. Early ones have a small headstock logo, small tuners and the serial on the neck plate; later ones a large logo with the serial on the headstock and bigger tuners. Most bodies are poplar in several pieces, some alder; from the late 1970s some are ash under transparent red. Parts were used from stock, so neck, body, pot and plate dates can be years apart, and an S8 serial ran from 1978 to 1981: date one by its neck, pot and pickup dates. Weighed examples run from about 6.5 to 10.4 lb (2.9 to 4.7 kg). Check the pickguard at the jack end, where it often cracks. Usual changes: a bass pickup in place of the six-pole unit, a new bridge, a replacement nut, a lost thumb rest. Ask for the original parts.
