10-1746 This Thundermaster Bass sports a wood body that is actually made of two halves; a top piece and a back piece. There is a 10" chamber in the middle of the body that gives it a semi-hollow sound, and at the same time makes it quite light for its size. The pickups are Schaller designed bass models. This guitar, as with all Micro-Frets models has a 36 piece, adjustable, compensated nut that allows for individual string height and length adjustments, which was used on all Micro-Frets models. And this was decades before Buzz Feiten, Paul Reed Smith, or Earvana started moving nuts around to sweeten intonation. Wild!.
"Micro-Nut… More significant, however, was the patented Micro-Nut nut… The Micro-Nut was a clever little device which allowed for string length adjustment at the nut, not just the saddle, to correct harmonic inaccuracies that occur due to the fixed length between the nut and the twelfth fret. This was accomplishes elegantly with metal nuts for each individual string, affixed to the truss rod cover, which could be moved forward or backward by loosening a screw."
"Rare birds. As is evident from the discussion of serial numbers, Micro-Frets guitars are relatively rare. No one knows exactly how many Micro-Frets guitars were made, but David Sturgill, who purchased the Micro-Frets assets at the end, estimates that there were fewer than 3,000 total." (Vintage Guitar Magazine. The Different Strummer. October 1995, pp. 22-25 & 132-133).
