lemmywinks Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Selling this for my housemate. It's a SUB4 in the bluey (or whatever it's actually called!) colour, active pre amp. It's in great condition apart from a couple of dings on the headstock (pictured, a little bit of marker pen disguises them almost completely), a tiny ding on the top edge of the neck (shown in the pics) and some pitting on the control plate (again shown). Comes with a Gator-style ABS case he bought seperately. The strap which holds this open at an angle is broken, this could be repaired or removed, either way the case is fully functional and in great nick. He's looking for £410 collected from Blackpool, can post at buyers expense. Feel free to come try it out, there should be a few amps to try it out with depending on whether my gear is here or not. Either way we'll have a couple of Hartke combos and a Ashdown/Hartke rig knocking about the house EDIT: I'll try to get some better pics up soon when i get acces to a decent camera. That's not a crazy spider thing on the control plate btw, it's the reflection of our light fitting! Edited July 24, 2009 by lemmywinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Might well be interested, I have spent my hastily put together Sub on a cab but I'm selling it (favour for a mate) if this is still here when the cab goes and BB doesn't want to sell his one I'll have it.

lemmywinks Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'll have a look at the action when i get a chance (gigs this weekend) as it's a bit too high for my liking, feels strangely nice to play though, maybe not for a full gig! Just thought i'd mention that my mate has hardly played this. He bought it along with a USA Hartke Kickback 15 (spent around a grand i think) then lost interest in bass. I've gigged it a few times when my Warwick was playing up but that's about all the action it's seen. I think the pitting on the control plate (there's also a little on the bridge but not much) is simply down to it being stored in a case for months on end It's been out on loan with a learner for a bit but i don't think he did much with it Ta Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 please forgive me if i have to undercut you on this one! i'm still not sure >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 How much was yours up at? I didn't really know what to value it at, the last one that sold on here went for £375. That was a passive version with no case, had a MM scratchplate though, it was also priced for a quick sale As this one is the active version and has a quality case i thought an extra £35 was about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 really? i didn't know prices had gone up that much! i was looking at £350 + postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yeah they were at silly low prices for a while (i think £360 was the lowest i saw), bear in mind that Rays were going for £550+ at the time. I've seen a few on eBay go for £400+ I think now Ray prices are a bit healthier the SUB prices are better too. Personally i think £400 is about right for one of these without a case, it's new MIM Fender territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) really? i got mine for £350 about two years ago. They are far better than any MIM fender though. Getting on for the price of a used MIA fender and almost as good Edited July 11, 2009 by budget bassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
