Vintage Fender Musicmaster Bass in Natural finish made in 1978 with Chipboard Case (Refin). This guitar features a solid alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Equipped with a EMG Single coil in the bridge position. Controlled by 1 volume, 1 tone control comprised of replaced CTS pots dating to the 60th week of 1986. The 30" scale length neck has pearloid dot inlays and white side markers with 21 medium jumbo frets on a 7.25" radius with a medium C profile. The hardware is comprised of chrome Fender Open-gear tuning machines with clover heads, a bone nut, a Fender 2-Saddle hardtail bridge and black knurled dome knobs with a 2-Ply black pickguard.

The bridge was relocated back about 1/4 of an inch at some point but put back in original factory position, you can only see these holes when bridge is removed. It has some dings/ dents, some scratch's and a few finish chips. (See Pics)
