grabbed this 78 musicmaster a few months back.. put in a lace sensor and since have put the original pup back in..
its been collecting dust since i picked up my mustang bass so im considedring what to do with it.. the paint is chipping off and cracking like mad. im throwing around the idea of a refin or just selling it to someone that will love it as i did when i got it..
dunno tho.

I'm sorry, but for once, I agree with Aug.
that bass looks awesome. To touch it would be a crime.

Its value would be ruined by a repaint too.

It's worth what someone wants to pay for it is the simple answer.

Anyway, sell it to robroe, he'll quote a fair price I'm sure and it seems he really wants it.

Not with that finish checking I doubt. It is a 70's model too, hardly sought-after.

The pictures make it look like a bad refin though. I'm sure I can see brush marks.

The first step is to determine whether or not it has been refinished. That makes a lot of difference. If it's original, you really shouldn't touch it unless you HAVE TO. I would sell to rob if you don't lurv it.
