MusicMan USA SUB Fretless SOLD SOLD SOLD. £350

[ezbass]

The time has come to part with the bass in my collection that I have owned the longest, my USA made SUB. I would keep it but I pretty much play 5 strings only these days and have 2 fretless fivers that receive all my attention. It is an original release US SUB that I had defretted by The Gallery some years back, including matching the front dots in rosewood, and a cracking job they did too! The painted neck became shiny and sticky so I stripped it back and sealed it with Danish Oil; super smooth. I did have flat mounted Dunlop strap locks on it but I fell out of love with those, so filled the holes with appropriately sized dowels and refitted the MM ones. As you can see there are a number of chips and scratches and I crudely touched up the strap button repair, but I feel that this is in keeping with the original rough and ready finish. As you can also see, the nasty original scratch plate has been replaced with a rather nice tort one and I also have a black and white Jack Daniel's one that will accompany it (very R&R). It has a Hipshot D Tuner fitted and I'm pretty sure that I have the original tucked away somewhere. Currently fitted with LaBella flatwounds and supplied with a well padded gigbag. £350 of your English pounds (not interested in trades I'm afraid; sorry) collected from Ez Towers, where you are also welcome to come and try it out too. I can post but prefer not to as, due to the many mods, this bass is not what you would normally expect from a SUB.

Yes, yes, yes!!!! What an amazing bass, if I wasn't skint, I'd be all over this like a fat kid on a cupcake. I still miss my 5 string sub, outstanding basses and great value.

Good luck with the sale!

Christmas Eve bump - go on, a pressie from you to you; you know you want it. Mwah, ha, ha (see what I did there)!

I'm going to put this on hold as I've got BCers lining up now. All PMs replied to.

This has now gone, thanks for the many people who showed an interest and made enquiries; I wish I'd had more than one to sell as it all happened very quickly. Seller's remorse? Yes, but it's gone to home where it will get used more than at Ez Towers; farewell old friend.
