Check out the review by Bass Lobster, who also did a fab upgrade ( which i will be copying) with EMG pickups and eq. 
 

i like mine alot, its fun to play , but its nowhere near a USA Stingray, its a completely different bass. For a start a 38mm neck width, which i prefer personally. The stock EQ is pretty rubbish, but you actually do get what you pay for, lol, and i bought mine as a mod platform. 

This thread refers to the original USA made SUBs, made from 2003-2006. A different kettle of fish to the 'Sterling by Musicman' range of SUBs. (I think).

What's a good price?

 

In my opinion - under £700. They used to go for well under £500 but EVERYTHING is more expensive than it was. Rising prices of new gear definitely push up 2nd hand, e.g new USA Stingrays used to be about £1500 new circa 2016, now it's at least £2000 (with 2nd hand going from about £900 to £1200+)

If you ever have that problem again I can lend you a rasp.🤣🤣

 

With hindsight I should have chamfered the edge and sod the resale value.

It had a lovely neck and sounded great - it was a passive one.

I was playing Ebay roulette late one evening and accidentaly won a 5 stringer. The rubber finish was not for me so I had it stripped and painted with some chamfering and a tummy cut in the process. Lush it is. I like the 'ray teardrop plate but with the amount of strings I like.

Apologies, I didn't mean to come across like that - it's just they are really quite different basses.
