The Musicmaster Bass is part of the lineage of student models produced by Fender. While inheriting the design philosophy of the higher-end Precision Bass, it was introduced in 1970 as a single-pickup model with a more compact body and a 30-inch scale. Its streamlined design allows it to shine with a distinctive Fender sound and presence. It transcends the boundaries of an entry-level model and continues to be loved as a unique instrument.

This particular guitar, shipped around 1981, features a popular specification: a black ash body and rosewood fingerboard.

【body】
The total weight is approximately 3.8 kg. The body is made of ash. The black finish and black and chrome parts give it a sharp, rugged look. There are signs of aging in the paint, some discoloration of the rubber, scratches and dents, cracks in the pickguard, and tarnishing on the metal parts, giving it the feel of a vintage instrument. The strap pin at the end has been replaced.

【neck】
The neck is made of maple, and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. There is some discoloration of the topcoat on the headstock, some dents with paint peeling on the back of the neck, and some tarnishing on the metal parts, but overall it is in relatively good condition. The tuners are a little stiff to wind, but they function properly. The frets and nut show only slight wear, and there is some upward bowing on the neck, which can cause some buzzing on the higher frets depending on the picking technique, but this does not affect playability. The headstock thickness is 15.5mm. The nut width is 41.7mm. It features a sturdy neck shape.

[Electrical System]
The controls are a simple [1 volume/1 tone] configuration. The control system parts, including the pickups, have been kept in their original condition.

The ash body's attack and the rosewood fingerboard's moderate warmth coexist in perfect balance. Based on the compression and tight low end characteristic of a 30-inch scale, rolling off the tone knob produces a rounded, vintage-like bass, while opening it up brings out a bright, focused attack. Thanks to its simple circuit configuration, you can enjoy the instrument's true character straight and true.
