vmaxblues Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Hi All, Here is my USA 5 string SUB with loads of Mojo, it has certainly been a players bass, bought off this very forum, and upgraded with a genuine USA Stingray EQ. It plays and sounds great and was a backup for my main stingray, which it did brilliantly, but I need an interesting 4 string for a project so am putting it up for trade.

binky_bass Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Doubt this will be here long! Don't see these around too often these days and this is a great price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This is an awful lot of bass for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Bump for incredible value. I had a US SUB, sold it, missed it so bad I bought one again last year for a reasonable chunk more than this. GLWTS.

SurroundedByManatees Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) If I remember correctly, these already came with an original USA stingray preamp installed from the factory. As sound concerns, these basses are on par there with their more expensive brothers completely. At least that's how I've experienced them.

I was going to comment the same thing, why was the preamp swapped out? Great basses these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxblues Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think you are absolutely right about the pre-amp. I had an issue with the socket and one came up on here so just swapped it out. My main bass is pukka Ray and they play and sound the same. Just no fancy paintwork! I am starting to edge towards keeping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I cannot deny that I am fighting with myself to not buy it and get it refinished in reliced Sonic Blue with a matching headstock. Edited December 8, 2021 by owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
