What is a good price for a all orignal (but slightly beat up...No major problem just finish checking/some scratches...) 70's musicmaster?

but im not exactly sure.

I'm not really sure either but I'd say that the Musicmaster II type (mustang shape pickguard) would get more than the later 70s type (bronco shape).

so if I can get a 70's musicmaster and a silverface musicmaster bass amp for like 600 cash then it would be a good deal assuming they are in good condition, etc.

For both $600 is a fine deal. I think that's roughly the total of both at the very lower end of their value.

I would get on that deal all day long.

The guy is asking 400 each and has them listed on separate adds. I am just thinking that he might take 600-700 for both in one transactions. Alot less headache. I would only go to 700 if they were both in really good shape as xmas is too close to be going overboard and I still need to buy an acoustic guitar sometime in the very near future.

both for 700 would be good.
i know those old amps are anywhere from 250-500

It is kind of weird. He has it listed as a bassman amp 1x12 combo. No pics or anything. It is listed as an older amp so I am thinking that it is a musicmaster bass amp or some sort of older bassman but I have never heard of a 12" bassman. As long as it is not a newer bassman bass amp than I wouldn't care.

The musicmaster is 10" isnt it?

Give the MM a play and see how you feel about it. I had a late 70s one (78 I think) and it was lush, but there are plenty of 70s dogs out there, esp late 70s ones with maple fret boards. If it's heavy as a mo-fo leave it. You can't just judge stuff by age.

My one was around Â£150 in 2002 ( about $200 at the time)

I like the heavy ones.

I love my 'new' '78 Musicmaster. Heavy like a bastard but still really good to play.
