First let me say what a totally cool bass, I have one and love it. And it's companion is a mid 90's Vista Tone Squier MM. Great basses.

As for value, I see them often on Evil-bay, and the prices are probably $350 on the low end and up, depending on the day of the week. I've seen them up to $1k but don't know why those are worth so much more. Obviously an original case will up the value too, and as long as it's all playable with no issues, I assume it is.

Good luck selling it if that's what you decide. I bought my Squier MM off of Craigslist but selling stuff on there is always a crapshoot with all the rip off people on there just looking to scam someone.

You have a cool MM bass but realize that any modifications on a vintage Fender will hurt the value, even if they make it a better instrument!

I can see that the bridge has been replaced and the bridge base plate is probably covering something, like a pickup route.

The pickguard has been modified and the knobs are not original.

That's not to say that someone will not buy your bass. Its just not as appealing to a vintage collector who will want an unchanged bass.

Good luck
