1980 Fender Musicmaster Bass black

Excellent condition, 8/10, Made in USA, no case, one dent in the side close to the strap button, otherwise very clean, all original parts and we believe it had never been opened up before we checked it out due to the way parts of the neck pocket finish is sticking to the neck without one little piece missing, black plastic, smooth saddles, the neck has a stamp underneath "2283" which means 22nd week of 1978, day 3, so May 30th 1978, original frets with no wear, original nut with a chip missing by the E4-string, matching serial number sticker under the black pickguard, the grey bottom pickup is stamped with a 4 digit number 3299 so 1979, the pots are dated 1377806 and 13780xx, so this bass probably came out on the market in 1980, more info: The Fender Musicmaster Bass is a model of electric bass guitar, produced by Fender between 1971 and 1981. As with its six-string counterpart, which was a stripped-down version of the Fender Mustang, the Musicmaster Bass is a simpler version of the Mustang Bass. It features a short 30 in (762 mm) scale. All of the Musicmaster's electronics are mounted onto a single piece of plastic. Like many of Fender's other budget-priced guitars, the Musicmaster Bass used many surplus parts from other Fender models. The bodies were leftover Fender Mustang Bass bodies, while the pickups were six-pole guitar pickups, rather than four-pole bass pickups. Many players modified the bodies of their Musicmaster basses to accommodate Precision-style double pickups or enhanced electronics. The Musicmaster Bass was introduced in 1971, and originally came in either black, red or white finish. Some very early issues were Daphne Blue with pearl pickguards. Later, this was expanded to include many of the finishes present on other Fender guitars. Earlier models are distinguishable by their small headstock logo, lack of a serial number on the headstock, and small, triangular tuning keys; later models feature a much larger headstock logo, with a serial number silkscreened next to the "Fender" logo, and Mustang-style tuning keys. The Musicmaster Bass was discontinued along with all of Fender's budget-priced models in 1981, with the introduction of the Fender Bullet Bass. They were reissued briefly by Squier in 1997 (Squier Vista Series). This model had strings through the body and four polepieces pickup. However, it was discontinued after only a year of production, and replaced with the Squier Bronco Bass, but retaining the six-pole pickup. Today, with the rise of indie and punk rock, vintage Musicmaster basses are becoming more collectible among Fender's vintage bass guitars, but are still much more affordable than many comparable vintage Fender models.
