Nice retro look and some very good music has been made on it. Ebay has 'em for well under $1,000. More like $600-700.http://search.ebay.com/fender-musicmaster-bass_W0QQsofocusZsoQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10QQcatrefZC6QQsacatZ-1QQcatrefZC6QQsargnZ-1QQsaslcZ2QQsadisZ200QQfposZ62223QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ2 Maybe its just me, but $600 seems like an awful lot for a first bass? I mean, I've only got one piece of gear that cost more than $600. I'd recommend a Mustang over the Musicmaster. It has a bass pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members illidian Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 G&L Tribtue L2000. They can be had for less than $500 new on eBay, including a "deluxe" G&L gig bag and free shipping. Only problem may be the neck at first, but you'll get used to it quickly I would think. If a bigger neck is intimidating, a Jazz Bass is a good bet.
