molan Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Isn't that just the regular 'street' price for a new one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ahh, the old "Save £15 squillion" routine. Inflate the price, reduce to normal selling price and advertise a massive discount... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyDog Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ah well. Thanks for the heads up anyway John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Blimey, they've got expensive. I have had mine for just over ten years and it cost around £1200.00 new (or maybe ex demo, can't remember). Mind you, top Basses and the Preamp sounds (to me) nicer than the four string version. The neck on the five is a dream to play. Edited January 18, 2015 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always surprises me that they don't come with a set of MM's signature DR strings on though... Fat Bass I think they are called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_random Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hello chaps, I thought I would check this out to make sure we've got the price right. As far as I can see the UK street seems to be just over £2200 depending on where you look, so £1899 is a pretty significant saving. I've had a look at the bass and it's in really great shape. It's had the plastic removed from the guard, but other than that it's completely clean. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Are the MM five strings still made in the US? The fours are now MIM aren't they? (after being made in Japan for several years...). An interesting decision from a pricing and marketing point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5s are US and the 4s are Mexican. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
