Squier’s current bass lineup includes the Bronco Bass, which is clearly derived from the Musicmaster. The Musicmaster Bass was discontinued along with all of Fenders budget-priced models in 1981, with the introduction of the Fender Bullet Bass. ![]() I used a Sans Amp Bass Driver for the Pro Tools -soundbites: The Squier went for the singlecoil Precision Bass pickup, that had been on the first P-Basses (1951-56) – the result is a very healthy output and a full-bodied sound. The Fender had been equipped with a rather weak Strat-style pickup. The best bit, though, is the Squier Vista Musicmaster Bass’ pickup. The decent, full-sized tuners are good replicas of 1970s Schallers. The headstock is finished in the same tasty seafoam green as the body. Instead of the Fender’s spartan two-saddle bridge, here we have an intonation-friendly four saddle bridge. The Squier features through-body stringing resulting in better sustain. Squier’s version was one of the company’s first instruments made in China, and featured several genuine improvements over the Fender original. Many were sold as part of a two-piece set, which included a low-powered practice amp. The original Fender Musicmaster Bass from 1971 was Fender’s most inexpensive short-scale bass at the time (probably ever). The Squier Vista Musicmaster Bass (introduced in 1997) has been produced only for a short time, despite having been one of the best bang-for-the-buck-machines in the stable. ![]()
