jackduran Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've been deliberating this one for a while, but the time has come to let this go, I feel. To put it simply, I am not using this bass anywhere near as enough as I should/like, as I tend to turn to my 4 strings for gigs/rehearsals/recording so this just sits on a stand in my room. I would absolutely love to keep hold of this, as I think its value will improve with age being a USA-made MusicMan etc, but my unexpectedly dire financial situation with over 4 weeks until payday dictates otherwise. Therefore, I need to stop hoarding this for my own personal satisfaction and do something sensible by paying some bills. Hopefully it can go to a good home where somebody will get the enjoyment out of it that this instruments deserves. I am the third owner of this instrument: I bought it from my old band's synth player, who in turn bought it from a mate of his who purchased it Stateside. As such, the cosmetic condition reflects this, with a couple of dings and scrapes on the finish- on the lower reverse edge of the body close to the battery compartment; on the 'tip' of the headstock (see forthcoming pics for a clearer idea). There is also a bit of a 'scrape' in the black paint-finished neck up behind the 12th fret that's about an inch in length. These dings were present when I bought the instrument, and since I purchased it about a year and a half ago, it's never been out of my house. The frets and hardware are all in great condition with one exception- the tuning peg for the G string, on the underside of the headstock, is loose in its fixture. I have remedied this by tying an elastic hair bobble tightly around it to stop it rattling around annoyingly when I play that string, which seems to do the trick. That said, the 4 other machine heads/tuning pegs all feel rock solid if a little lightweight compared to my 'real' MM Stingray. Tuning is unaffected by this issue. This is the active, 2-band EQ (as per all SUB model instruments) version of this bass, and it is a cracker. Like I have mentioned, I'd love to keep this, but I'm bloody skint and I can't justify having 3 basses anymore! This is collection only I'm afraid, from Southport on Merseyside, but I am happy to arrange a courier for interested parties! PM me. £400 (NB the silver diamond plate scratchplate IS included- I just think it looks so much better without it!) PICS TO FOLLOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackduran Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Afternoon all, been off the BC scene for a while but I'm reviving this thread due to a need to move this on (rather than make a new thread- no change in the key info here, the Subby has been cased-up for a couple of months now and in my 'gear I no longer use' cupboard!). New lower price though, I'll take £350 ono- drop me a message. Cheers all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
