Im not sure of its exact age im guessing around 1991? It has the original foam blocks at the bridge and six neck bolts. The neck is gorgeous with lots of character. Lovely sounding bass too, its now my number one choice.

Lovely bit of wood and, IMHO, the classic SR4 look!

Go to the EBMM web site. They will tell you the exact birthday of the bass from the serial number.

This is probably the bass I most want but can't afford right now. Beautiful, what are you playing it through?

Thats not a laquered neck is it? I didn't realise any of the necks after EB took over were lacquered.

All i currently have to play it through is my Ampeg SVT Pro 4 head. Need to get a 2x12 or 4x12 cab to play it all through. With my old rig this bass sounded amazing, it sounds so big and imposing.

Im pretty sure the neck is lacquered, it feels smooth not grainy.

My old 1990 'Ray had a satin laquered neck. I think the oil finished neck came in quite a bit later.

The EVH guitar was the first MM with the oil finished neck in 1991.the others switched over sometime in '93 I believe

nice bass!

It is annoying because i have no speakers to play it through! I have not felt its full force yet!

Does anyone know how much the bass is worth? Im defiantly not going to sell it, its a keeper and i enjoy playing it but i would like to get it properly insured.

I know, selective quoting

Foam at the bridge: awesome. That bass has a great vintage vibe.

bump for value. ??? - I think due to the sheer amount of them; the appealing looks of yours will bump up the value considerably.
