Mikey R Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) So the time has come for me to part with my Music Man SUB, serial number X09797. Im not happy about it, but I never play it and I need to buy some kit for the workshop (shed). The body finish is the same really tough, slightly textured stuff they used on all the SUBs Ive seen. The scratchplate is the diamond tread plate one, this could be swapped out if you wanted - Im sure someone will know which scrathplate you would need. This bass is in good condition, Ive barely taken it out the house since I got it second hand earlier in the year. Its got a little bit of wear on the tip of the headstock, but thats true of most second hand basses. If its really an issue, Ive heard people colour them in with a sharpie, but thats a bit irreversible and I just prefer the lived in look. This is a good quality, nearly-a-ray made in the US. Its a shame they dont make these any more. Im after £400 squids, Levi strap included. Shipping in the UK will be around £21 plus £15 insurance - if theres a cheaper way to ship, let me know, EDIT: Shipping to the UK will be more like £20.40 including insurance. I'll be shipping this out in a battered old hardcase wrapped in cardboard. EDIT: This ones an active 2 band. EDIT: PRICE DROP - £380 including delivery to mainland UK, excl highlands Edited January 19, 2012 by Mikey R
Mikey R Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Wow, just checked Interparcels website, shipping will be way less than this! For the UK, we're probably talking around £6.99 + vat + insurance. For France, it'll be around £18.00 + vat + insurance.
Toinoo Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 So, it's possible to ship it to france? *interested
Mikey R Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Indeed I would - Interparcel from UK to France quotes £18 + vat + insurance. Unfortunately it wont tell me what the insurance would be untill I finish the transaction, but it shouldnt be much.

For example, bass I recently bought from within the UK and arranged the courier myself through Interparcel - bass value ~£400, shipping cost £11, insurance £10 - total with VAT £25. You can check if you have the address, just cancel out before the credit card details.

So for the UK shipping will be £6.99 + vat + £10 insurance + vat, which comes out at around £20.40, which is still cheaper than the quote I got from Parcel Force. Anyone interested, if youre in North Yorkshire, you could collect, or if youre in West Yorkshire I pass through Leeds every day so could meet at Leeds station.
tom1946 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Do check but I think insurance only works if it's in a hard case?

Horizontalste Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Can't remember who but someone has a thread in the wanted forum. Could be worth checking out.

gmtx725 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I might be interested in this then. I'm a beginner looking to buy my first bass, and I've been heavily recommended both the SUB and the Squier CV Precision, and am currently torn between the two. I'm going to mull it over for the next few days, and will probably come up with a definitive decision sometime next week. So if I end up going for the SUB I'll get in touch. If of course you haven't sold it to someone else by then!
