2004 Textured Teal MusicMan SUB

Sadly not mine - just in my custody while waiting for it's new owner to pick it up, but a delightful example of a 2004 Textured Teal/Checkerplate 2EQ MusicMan SUB.

I missed out circa 2007 but I’ll have one of these one day!

That's lovely, Richard. There were a few times back in the day where I nearly bought one...

They were an absolute gem for the money. The likes of these don't exist anymore.

Hey Sean, yes - I was chatting to the new owner earlier - He was saying that most of the original SUBS have tatty necks where people have misguidedly tried to strip the gloss paint off. This particular example played like a demon. It was a very nice bass.

Yes, I've seen a few "shipwrecked" Subs out there. I've only ever owned 2 MM basses; a 5 string Ray for a few weeks and a Sterling (USA) that was lovely but got sold/traded for whatever reason. It could be a future endeavour, who knows what this crazy world of Bass GAS brings 😃

The problem was that it wasn’t gloss, it was matt, made glossy by playing, which in turn made them sticky. I never regretted stripping mine, it felt and played so much better.

I had a couple, and regret selling one in particular ( on here IIRC ). Mine were teal and black. 

Great basses, although weren’t the lightest of things.

MM did a passive one as well, along with a SUB Sterling which are really rare.
