Basscabman Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Set up and new strings and man does this bass feel great! The sound Is outstanding! First MM I've owned, always wanted one and really happy with this purchase. It's In MINT condition too, 2 band active EQ, Changed the alluminium scratch plate for a tort one. The bass has some serious grunt. Paid £380 for It! Fender Jazz Is taking a holiday for a while! Quote
Bass_Guardian Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Om nom. Love the colour combo, bet it sounds better! Quote
Rich Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Nice the tort plate looks 100000 times better than the original one. Quote
goonieman Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 damn fine basses. Apparently (I can be corrected) the pups are wired in SERIES on these. I had one, but had to sell it because the neck was twisted Quote
luckman67 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Wish I'd been able to keep mine,great basses. Quote
gjones Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I've had two over the years. Great basses. Quote
Mudpup Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I have one of these. Tends to be my main bass ahead of a Sandberg PM4 and a USA MM Sterling. Makes you struggle to get your head around the "cheapest bass is my favourite" syndrome...... Edited August 15, 2015 by Mudpup Quote
mcnach Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Nice! That's a LOT of bass for £380! I also have a white one, earlier than yours (yours looks like a 2005-2006, because of the compensated nut). I love it, fantastic bass. It has *nothing* to feel shy about next to a "real" Stingray, which I also own. I put a black scratchplate on mine. The pickup routing is clean on these basses, so they look great without one too! Quote
Basscabman Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 Cheers folks! It's a great bass, according to the MM forum was built September 2006. I was looking to buy a Sterling Ray 34CA because of the jazz like neck on those but after a few days playing this I'm digging the extra width on the neck. But the sound Is just great! Quote
casapete Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Great basses, had 3 over the years. Best 'bang for the buck' around. Bit on the heavy side for an ageing old gimmer like me, or would still be using one. Quote
