The pickguard has been replaced, the pickup is of a later Mustang Bass and the body has been routed for a larger pickup. But still a very cool and very rare little bass. I played the Competition Mustang Bass of board member Sef once, and it was truly amazing. Very mean Precision rumble, and so easy to play. I would keep an eye on this one if I could afford it right now.

Sweet. I'd be curious to see what it goes for with all those mods.

yeah i put bid in and was wining but got an email saying my bid was canceled and there were 2 more bids that were removed so maybe the seller changed his mind and decided to hold on to it.

I got both musicmasters and a mustang and can't deciede wich one I loved the most. If I had me build one it would me a mustang with the slab body of a musicmaster.

You could try to find a lefty musicmaster. They are usually easier to find

and then put one of these in.
