SurroundedByManatees Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) USA Music Man sub Pretty burgundy Music Man Sub. This is from the old USA made sub series. These are a great value for a reasonable price. This is the passive version. This bass plays and sounds great. Though it's passive, it's sound is still unmistakingly Stingray. A little bit more decent maybe. Of course the bass is used, so it has a few small damages. Nothing serious though. All functions like it should, though the pots are a bit scratchy. They might benefit from a bit of cleaning. I bought this bass thinking it was active (didn't know about the passive ones), as a cheaper option for a 2eq Stingray. So the passive version is not exactly what I'm after. This is a great sounding bass, though I happen to like the exessive active Stingray tones more when it comes down to that type of humbucker sound. New rotosound 45-105 strings have been fitted. No case or bag included. I'll include a set of flatwounds that I have lying around. I think they're still usable. Asking £475 - -> last pricedrop: Now £375 / €420 The sub is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Edited January 16, 2019 by SurroundedByManatees

So the passive version is not exactly what I'm after. I did the exact same thing.... I ended up routing mine out for a battery box and dropped in a John East preamp. It was a really easy job to do, and now I've got the bonus of having the 2EQ sound but with an extra sweepable mid control. Could be worth a thought if you've got access to a router...
SurroundedByManatees Posted October 30, 2018 Author Posted October 30, 2018 It crossed my mind, but I would have to call in a luthier to make that happen. So that makes it way more expensive than buying a used active one. Those aren't that rare, so won't take a long wait:). But to be honest, I don't need it at the moment... I like the musicman sounds, but it's not a first choice when playing with the band.
