Woodinblack Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) The recent aquisition of my lovely ACG has led to words such as 'another bass' and 'too many basses' and 'can't play all those at once'. I did put my Geddy Lee Jazz up, but having played it quite a bit since putting it up, I realise it is too nice to get rid of some I should move the others on instead and take that down. So here is a Sterling Sub 5, bought on here in February. Very nice bass, plays well, really light and taught me that not all stingray necks are bad. This has a retrovibe stinger preamp, with a passive / active switch, replaced knobs and stick on block markers. Has a really smooth sound to it, and the preamp just fills the sound up. There is no volume difference between passive and active. Very nice bass that I wouldn't get rid of if I wasn't trying to reduce the herd. There are a couple of small scratches on the back but nothing really noticeable. It has been gigged a few times but no damage from that. So [s]£215[/s] £200 picked up from Yeovil, and will post for cost to wherever in the UK. Edited October 24, 2015 by Woodinblack
Matt P Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Is this still available? What is the string spacing, I'm hoping it's 17.5mm! Matt
Woodinblack Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Its still available but the 5 has a narrower spacing, more like 16mm
Matt P Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Drat! Is that centre to centre? I thought that musicman 5 strings were 17.5 Matt
Woodinblack Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Possibly even less than 16mm [IMG]http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/alienrat/IMG_2891%201_zpsaxw2nl9w.jpg[/IMG]
Matt P Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 thanks for the picture, it seems that the sterling sub 5 has a different spacing to the rest of the 5 strings from the Musicman stable, a real shame for me as I find any anything under 17mm too narrow. I guess I'm going to have to save up for on of the more expensive models with the 17.5mm spacing then Thanks Matt
Woodinblack Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Yep, probably why this is the first one of theirs I can play!
