thepurpleblob Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I acquired a nice SUB recently and while it's a great bass it was always intended to be a backup. It's pretty much indistinguishable from a real Stingray for a lot less money. However, I'm getting more into 5-strings again but am a bit fussy about string spacing (wide!). It's active and 2EQ. Condition is generally very good. It's met the ceiling at some point and been touched up but you have to look closely. Pretty much brand new light guage EB Slinkies fitted. I'm not desperate to move on the SUB but a backup 5-string would be more use. I'm really interested in a Yamaha TRB-5 (any variety), higher end BB or - even more unlikely - any Lakland 5 string. I would also consider something else with similarly wide spacing. The original thread is here for total transparency...

I'm not particular about brilliant condition as long as it works. I could add a little cash to secure a nice instrument if it comes along.

thepurpleblob Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 bump for slightly re-shuffled description.
thepurpleblob Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 just passing and I thought I would bump.... one or two interesting offers coming in. Not gone quite yet though.
ben604 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 If you decide on a cash sale, could you post this?
thepurpleblob Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 I'm really only going for a trade at the moment... but in general, yes, I will post
MattM Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Bump as a previous owner of this SUB, looks like it's done a wee tour of Central Scotland Great bass, I upgraded to a stunning late 80s 2EQ 'Ray, and this didn't fall down in its company at all, only let it go because, being a backroom noodler instead of a gigger, couldn't justify having two fretteds in the collection. Awesome bass, buy or trade wih confidence. Looks great with its other black scratchplate. Edited January 29, 2012 by MattM

I took it on a bit of a whim but it's not really geting used. I have more work for a 5 at the moment.
thepurpleblob Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 [quote name='ben604' timestamp='1327868099' post='1518014'] I've got cash waiting if you decide to sell. [/quote] Noted. If there was something for sale that I definitely wanted it would make life easier. I'd need to think of a price. I can't really afford to come out on the wrong end of the deal - although that always seems to happen
ben604 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Well, the previous thread said it was being offered at £340, so that's the price I'd be willing to pay, plus the postage, obviously!
thepurpleblob Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 I didn't actually pay cash for it so that's kinda neither here not there but the usual spirit of BC fairness shall prevail I'm looking at another possibility at the moment so you might be in luck... I'll let you know. Cheers.
