The Stagemaster is similar in appearance to a Stratocaster with a few cosmetic and functional differences, and is typically classified as a Superstrat.

I'll just have to stop playing when I'm washing my smalls, I suppose. The Squier Stagemaster (discontinued) is a guitar made by Squier, which normally manufactures less expensive authorized copies of Fender s more popular guitars and bass guitars. So - is there anything else I can do to help quieten the bass? Or does the fact that it's a single coil mean there's only so much that can be done? Besides, I'd like to keep the bass as original as possible. I don't want to replace the original pickup because it's just the sound I'm looking for. Installed an extra ground wire, soldered onto same point as bridge ground wire, then screwed into cavity tape.Īll this has helped quieten the bass, but it still hums and picks up various RFI no mater what room in the house I'm playing in.

Put some isolating tape on the bottom tip of the jack prong to make sure it wasn't contacting the cavity shielding. The musicmaster was 24.75' scale while the Players Series Jag neck. Resoldered the jack ground lead to the pot, since the original solder was only just hanging in there. Same tape on the underneath of the pickguard. This is what I've done so far to try to shield the bass:

But, it's not a humbucker, so it's noisy - it especially likes talking to my washing machine. My understanding is the Vista Tone pickup is not a strat-derived guitar pickup like the Fender Musicmaster one - the Vista tone pickup is/was specially designed for the bass. Stock pickup is 4-pole single coil job, and it sounds great - clanky and mids-forward - sort of reminds me of DiMarzio P I had in an Ibanez Blazer a while back.
