This is a Musicmaster Bass manufactured in 1977.
The neck end is stamped 0400-4172.
The serial number was also used to determine the year.
This guitar has been upgraded to a two-pickup configuration, with the pickups replaced with a set of GRINNING DOG Duo-Master 50s.
It's like a bass version of the Duo-Sonic.
