At our Springfield MO location. Some normal wear here and there for a 70's guitar. Structurally solid and plays great. Does not come with a case.

The 1978 Fender Musicmaster Bass in Olympic White is a vintage, short-scale (30'') student bass. It features a solid poplar or ash body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, and a single grey-bottom pickup.

Key Features and Specifications

  • Scale Length: 30'' (short-scale), making it very comfortable and easy to play for smaller hands.
  • Body: Originally made of poplar, but by 1978, Fender often used ash. Olympic White is an opaque color that tends to yellow or "cream" over time due to UV light exposure.
  • Electronics: Features a single coil pickup (famously borrowed from six-string guitar parts) with one master volume and one master tone control.
  • Bridge and Tuners: Has a top-loading hardtail bridge with just two saddles (like early Telecaster basses) and small, cloverleaf-style tuning machines.
