#Squire musicmaster bass series#

It is possible that, given their relative rarity, nobody else has them all. My instinct is to believe that someone else has the same collection, but there's no evidence of that so far. I've done a lot of googling and the most I've seen together in any single photo is two. My main reason for posting was to share my collection and see if anyone else has the same group. It's amazing to me how much of a difference strings make. They all play great and each is strung with different strings. I'm a sucker for matching painted headstocks on Fender basses.

I found the blue one first on my local craigslist and fell in love. For more extended reading on the subject, head over to the Squier Musicmaster Vista Bass Club. They have the matching headstock, good tuners and bridge, string through body, and an actual bass pickup (FMMs had a strat pickup) that sounds amazingly strong and versatile despite its single coil awesomeness. The general consensus among owners of these is they are superior in every way to vintage Fender Musicmaster basses. I now own all four colors of this bass (black, arctic white, sonic blue, and shell pink).

The corresponding Vista series guitars were made in in Japan and command a quite high price used. Here they are:įor the uninitiated, these were made for about a year in 1996/7 in China. Up for sale, a 1997 Squier by Fender Vista Series Musicmaster Bass in excellent condition and in perfect working order. I finally completed my collection the other day.
