Musicman USA SUB 5 String - *WITHDRAWN* £725 Tewkesbury

[Jabba_the_gut]

I don't really play five strings but ended up buying two of these over the years as really like them so one has to go!!

 

This one is in excellent, near mint condition - there are no chips, dents scratches etc. The chrome is pretty much free of any pitting. There can't be many around in this sort of condition. I've owned it for nearly 14 years and it hasn't had a great deal of use in my time (an absolute waste...). It comes in a generic hard case and has the original checker plate scratchplate as well as the red one fitted.

 

£725 collected from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

A great price for a USA Musicman.
I have two of these ( a 4 and a 5 ) and they're fantastic.

They are superb basses. I've had a USA SUB 4 Stingray, a USA SUB 4 Sterling (that gets really confusing with the current naming...) as well as these two USA SUB 5s. I'm keeping the black one....

Your black one is the double of mine.

I'll maybe need to sell my 4 string and buy this off you as a perfect spare.

If only I could sell my Spector! 😊

Do you mind if I ask why you prefer the black one of the two?

No real reason apart from I prefer the colour and it has flats on it!! Cheers

[Jabba_the_gut]

To answer a couple of questions the bass weighs 4.4kg and the string spacing is 17.5mm.

 

Just for interest, the black bass is heavier at 4.9kg - quite a difference!!

 

Cheers

I had one of these for years and loved it then inexplicably sold it.  These are monsters of value and playability, and if this was for trade i be there in a flash..sadly cash supply is dry atm.  GLWTS (wise choice keeping one they dont come up that often)

I hear that buddy 👍

These really are awesome basses. I regret selling mine! This colour is stunning too. 
good luck with the sale mate

I had a white one but had to let it go. The bridge string spacing ultimately wasn't for me,real shame that. I prefer wider spacing 😢

[WAYNESWORLD]

As always just the wrong time.

Flabbergasted this is still here!

Hi. Just measured it and it is 17.5mm spacing.

Cheers

I will send anyone who buys this a black and a white pickguard. Why do I still have them when that bass is gone?

because of the spelling. Always the spelling.

Hi, my preference is to sell this but you know how it is if something interesting comes along!! Let me know if you have something in mind though I wouldn’t be looking at 5 strings or effects thanks. Cheers
