*WITHDRAWN* MusicMan SUB Active Black

[DaveMuadDib]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a bass that I got my hands on last Christmas - always wanted a stingray but couldn't afford a "proper" one. So with some luck, I was able to track down this beauty second hand. It's a MusicMan SUB with active electronics. Their "budget" stingray, but still very much a premium instrument. It looks and plays like a stingray, and I absolutely love it, but despite being superior in so many ways it just never took over from my main frankenbass (which i ain't sellin for love nor money) so it only saw 5 gigs. Don't let that fact fool you - it's an incredible instrument and it sounds and plays phenomenally.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's in good condition, straplocks are fitted and included, and the strings are fairly new. There are one or two slight dings but it has never been dropped or smashed. Came with a slightly battered flightcase thrown in to sweeten the deal, and that'll be included. Great bass and I'll be sad to see it go. Looking for £320 - absolute bargain![/font][/color]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Bass is located in Cheltenham, so if you would like to come and try it out, let me know :-) I would very much prefer to meet face to face rather than ship and risk dissatisfaction/damage - I'm a horrendously poor student, and I simply cannot afford the risk ;-)[/color][/font]

I recently used this very bass (with an extremely cheap practice amp!) to record the backing tracks on these two videos:

Unfortunately neither of these videos feature the bass physically, but they hopefully give you some idea that it's a playable and working instrument :-)

Pop this in the for sale section, a pre sterling sub will sell very well, these basses are American MM spec just with a lack of expensive finish, these basses are wioo much better than the sterling subs it hurts, good luck. (I think £400) would be a fair asking price.

Another big fan of the MM SUB here. I have a white one and it's my #1 bass (even ahead of the Stingray )
£320 is a steal for a bass of this quality.

But it'll get more interest in the "For sale" subforum

As the others have said. And yes, total bargain at that price. I've seen James Brown play live twice and his bassist had a Sub bass, says it all really.
