BaggyMan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Here we have the almost legendary USA musicman SUB (Sport Utility Bass) 5 string. So no, its not made in Indonesia or china or whatever... In the early 2000’s, Musicman wanted to produce a financially accessible stingray range. So they built the S.U.B range out of the same factory as the main production line, same hardware, alnico pickup, same pre amp, poplar body, slab cut, hard wearing finished and black painted neck, budget (as in crappy) tin scratchplate. Make no mistake this is a proper job (not a sub standard line as one seller of one of these thought..) ‘cept maybe the scratchplate. . They didn’t make these for long is this is an end of production 2007 model, probably one of the last one off the line. Great condition, plays great look most excellent sporting a stingray classic scratchplate (which is a direct fit no re-drilling btw). Comes with a serviceable flight case. No issues, no dings to the body, minimal wear to the finish on the neck, truss rod works perfectly, restrung, recently cleaned and oiled fretboard, intonation checked and set, no fret wear to speak of. Plug in and play. As the latter day USA builds get really quite eye waveringly expensive, this is Champagne for lemonade money imho. Beautiful and very, very cool.
