dave_bass5 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 just seen this on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/SterlingbyMusicMan/posts/10152129056542302:0 I've always hated the look of the traditional 5 string MM, but this looks right up my street.

dave_bass5 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I thought I had getting another SBMM out of my system until that popped up. Nice isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I agree, never been a fan of the usual style of 5 String MusicMans, but that is very appealing to the eye! Think I'll stick to a 4 Stringer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushers Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 both those 5's look great have a feeling we will have more chance of hens teeth being in stock in the UK tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think we will have a few months wait yet but I dont see why we won't get them. It does seem like the cost of the SBMM range has jumped up since the first models came out (I paid £450 for my ray34), I'd expect these to be closer to £800 so probably won't sell too well over here.

Rumple Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Looks really great, I don't get on with the MM slab bodies though, I find it a bit uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, I found my SBMM Ray34 a lot more comfortable than the SUB I had, although given the choice I wish I had kept the SUB now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Rotten Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I really like the 5 string style pick guard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 [quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1388850664' post='2326845'] I really like the 5 string style pick guard! [/quote]I don't mind the normal 'Ray 5 p/g particularly, but there is something just right about the 'normal' p/g and electronics plate.

dave_bass5 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Actually thinking about it my issue isn't so much the pickgiard, it's that slider switch as well. It reminds me of a cheap guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 On a slightly related note, did you see the new SUB finishes? That blue!!! https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151967996267302&id=267855672301&set=a.267941452301.140511.267855672301&source=46&refid=17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Spotted that on TB the other day - there's a thread about these basses where the guy from SBMM is asking what finishes people want to see - I want a transparent orange version of that blue one, but otherwise I might pick one of those up in blue if they ever make it to our shores!

dave_bass5 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Oh my, that's a lovely finish. I would be very tempted If they did them with maple finger boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Might have to pop over there and make my thoughts known! Still, if the blue made it over here at the same price as the other SUB basses I don't think I would be able to stop myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 These look like 4 strings though? Best double check if they do a five in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 The 5 string CA would be the first choice, the blue is just something id like at some point so im not too worried at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 They don't do the 5's in the new transparent blue/black, but maybe one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That blue! Beautiful! Would seriously consider trading my white one for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
