Damonjames Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Hey all up for sale is my beloved USA SUB Ray 5 in charcoal grey. For those of you who know what these are, they need no introduction. For those who don't, the USA SUB line was MM first attempt at an affordable stingray, they were built and assembled in the same factory in San Louis Obispo as all the USA Musicman instruments, but have less body work (eg no tummy contour, more of a slab body) and less attractive cuts of wood (so no translucent finishes) and finished in a textured poly paint on the body and semi gloss on the neck and headstock. They have all the same hardware and electronics as the USA Stingray and the build quality is excellent. DO NOT mistake this for the new sterling by MM S.U.B now made in the Far East, this is a far superior instrument. This one is near mint condition with only the slightest signs of use (obligatory headstock marks etc) and plays beautifully. I have seen plenty of 4 string versions of these go up for sale with big dings etc for around 400, so asking £475 for this one. Comes with hard case, wigan based. If funds were limitless, this would be going nowhere, but I need to move this on for another bass that will work better in my current band. Let me know!! I have had a couple of trade options already, but I am only interested in spector euro 4 or warwick streamer, so PLEASE don't tempt me with gorgeous basses!!!! PS: This bass weighs in at approx 5kg according to my bathroom scale. Edited July 17, 2014 by Damonjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
