Sterling by Musicman 4HH (tasteful upgrades added) price drop £425 Rochester Kent

[BaggyMan]

Now £400

 

Nice double humbucker version of the Sub4 with some little tweaks (or major as the pre amp is rather nice). 

Comes with a rosewood neck, presented in an unmarked metallic blue.  

 

So mods..

1. As with my other Sub2 listing, i dont like the cheap looking bridge on the Sub4 series, so this has been upgraded to the pre 2017 EB stingray version.
2. 2 band JOHN EAST pre amp.   Nuff said. its the dog danglies and unobtainium at the moment. 
3. Hipshot detuner, most excellent if you are into rage against the machine detuning mid gig.  I know i have done it and it sounds great.  Really stable and repeatable to use.
4. Artec pickups.  I tried the stocks and a few otherS i have laying around and the artecs are a really good match for the Je pre. Not too hot and well voiced.
5. Carbon fibre style car wrapped scratchplate (over the original plain white)

 

Its fully set up, in as new condition, not a boat anchor but not silly Glarry light either, around 9 lbs, perfect weight for longs gigs. 

I have gigged this bass a number of times and its a great gig ready instrument.

 

New these are £499 so priced keenly bearing in mind there are £200+ mods on board.

 

Can ship at buyers expense (insured), meetup anywhere nearish to the M25.  or pickup/try out,  Rochester, Kent

Love the colour and mods

Very nice! How "StingRay" do those Artecs sound?

Better articulation than the stock ones. The John east pre takes it to another level.
