    [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1339494128' post='1689127'] What is the 2EQ, bass and treble? [/quote] Musicman 2 eq = bass and treble. Bump for great bass at a great price.

    [attachment=109372:MM Sub4 012.jpg]Have reluctantly decided to sell my MM Sub4. It's not getting used and I have a Stingray too, so this one must go - know I'll regret it but there we are. It's in blue, and is the active 2 band eq version. Recently restrung with 45-105 Rotos, and a new Duracell fitted. According to Ernie Ball it was made on September 12th 2003, so I guess that makes it an early one? Condition wise it's virtually mint - no chips / gouges / etc. It's been very well looked after, (only being used for theatre shows) so I'd safely give it a 9 out of 10. Soundwise it's up there with my 2 eq Stingray, very hard to tell them apart IMO. For virtually half the price of a s/h Stingray you get a well put together great sounding USA instrument, that should hold it's value and maybe even appreciate! Am asking £375 for this beauty, to include a rigid gig bag case. I'm based in East Yorkshire near Hull, and would prefer cash on collection if possible, or maybe a meet up somewhere. Failing that, I am willing to post - am guessing around £20 should cover UK delivery. Any questions please ask - can email more pics etc.- thanks for looking. Pete.

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1338375703' post='1673419'] For me it's either a Stingray or a Sterling. [/quote] +1 Never played a bad Musicman yet - consistent and sound brill. My 'go to' every time (and I love Fenders too!)

    Just a quick heads up - Strings Direct are doing a discount of 10% until midnight June 5th. Enter 'JUBILEE' in the voucher code section of 'your basket' and the discount will be applied. (I'm nothing to do with the company by the way, just got an email with the deal mentioned.) Cheers.

    Bit obvious maybe, but how about Kid Rock's 'All summer long' too? Edit - Beat me to it Ian!!

    Try to start building a working relationship with a local van hire company. After a few hires when they can see you're okay, you can probably negotiate better rates for regular use, and carry whatever gear you need in a reliable and safe vehicle. Sounds a bit boring I know, but worked for us.

    Early JV Squier P bass in black / maple. Great bass I foolishly part exed for a rather below average USA P bass - never made that mistake again! Also a great mint codition pre Ernie Ball MM Stingray in natural / maple - to be fair I sold this as it weighed a ton, but sounded wonderful all the same............ (Started my long time Musicman romance which continues to this day. Wonder where it is now?)

    Soul Bossa Nova - Quincy Jones (Austin Powers etc) Return of the Las palmas 7 - Madness Black Magic woman - Santana/F.Mac - works ok as an instr. Hill Street Blues - Mike Post (only if your guitarist & keys players are up to it tho!) How about Blues Bros version of 'Sweet Home Chicago'? - vocal parts can be err..improvised to suit non vocalists? Goes on for ever, but very danceable blues shuffle etc.

    May be interested in the MM case - could you PM me a pic or two? I'm gigging in Farnham on May 18th, could maybe arrange a meet? ( could pay you before then if you want? ) Cheers,Pete.

    After a few years of using cars in an 8 piece band, we bit the bullet and started using vans - hiring at first (best to build up a relationship with local independent company for ongoing good rates IMO) and then leasing/buying. Fewer vehicles per gig, greener etc and saves ruining your car with flight cases and drunk drummers etc. Also gave me my hallway back - not having PA under the stairs -once we'd acquired our own Transit. Probably stating the obvious, but cramming lots of gear/musos into your small hatchback is really not very safe (as in post#24), may affect your insurance liability in the case of an accident , and is going to attract the local constabulary.................

    Love The Raspberries tune. (Don't you just hate it though when people write 'it should [b]of[/b] been' though..? )

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1331625046' post='1575888'] Provided you look after them properly there's no reason an old bass would be more likely to fail than a new one. The main reason not to gig a vintage bass is the worry that it will get stolen or damaged. [/quote] Thats why I retired my 63 precision. Playing at events where idiots/drunks could possibly get to my bass, I thought it sadly was n't worth the risk. That's how I got into playing a Musicman, knowing that it was not quite so precious and could be replaced more easily should it get damaged or stolen. I still use the Precision on gigs where I know it will be okay though, and having used it for over 25 years it has never let me down once. Wherever possible, I think it's great to use vintage stuff, that's what it's for!

    [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1331372500' post='1571941'] Can't embed/won't embed, but 'Behind a Painted Smile' contains one of my favourite snare drum sounds and a stroke of genius to stick that bit on the end. [/quote] +1 Loved the Isley's Motown output - especially 'Take some time out for love' which I think was the follow up to 'This old heart of mine'. Think they often get a bit overlooked when people refer to Motown's legacy.
