gjones Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I'm putting my Active Musicman SUB up for sale. I bought it from MattM (original thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135816&hl=sub"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=135816&hl=sub[/url] ) in May but have since bought a black SUB, which is my preferred colour from Basschat's Me And My Bass on this forum a week or so ago. Most people on Basschat know what a great bass the SUB is - i.e. a Stingray at a bargain price - so I doubt I need to go into great detail. It's enough to say I liked this one so much that I went out, within a month, and bought another! In the spirit of the forum I'm passing it on at the same price I bought it for, which is £340 or I would trade it for a decent Fender Precision. It is set up perfectly with a low action and sounds great and I'll include the sturdy gigbag MattM gave me when I picked it up from him. It's obviously been looked after very well. There is bit of slight scuffing on the headstock which has been touched up by a previous owner with black nail varnish. The only other wear and tear , that isn't mentioned in MattM's post, is a small dent at the bottom of the bass which is hardly noticable. At the moment I'm just offering the bass to people who can collect it from me in Edinburgh as I could do without the hassle of posting and possible damage in transit.

casapete Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 These are great quality USA basses, and a good price too. All the Ray sounds but for around half the price. If you're after a Ray but short on dosh then this is the one! Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepurpleblob Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I have a (shall we say) well used MIJ 57 reissue sat doing nothing - but I'm not too sure what I would do with yet another MusicMan. I'd be one away from the full set !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is generally a few knocks and scrapes on the body but no big dings or nastiness. Tuners work. The only properly bad bit is the bridge as some of the screws have seized up. I have a new Wilkinson one (somewhere) that I was going to put on next time I changed the strings. I got it as something I could stick in a gig-bag and not worry about too much but I've never really used it that much. It sounds like a proper Precision. Worst bit pictured...
