I bought this 2013 MM5 new a couple of months ago. I found the stock Fender preamp lacking, so I upgraded to the John East Marcus J-Retro, 
which sounds massive. The stock preamp is included. I would normally not even consider selling this bass, but I got an offer to buy a Custom 
Shop 5 string J that was too good to refuse so this one is now up for sale. Apart from the minuscule pickguard scratch next to the switch, the 
bass is pristine. It weighs a decent 9.6lbs. [color=#ff0000][b]£1250 firm[/b]. [b]No trades, please.[/b][/color] I prefer local pickup in London (SE10), if you want it shipped 
you will have to cover that.
