FS Custom MusicMan SUB 5 SILVER SPARKLE!!!

RockBoxBass · #1 04-30-2011, 04:33 PM

Up for sale is my Custom MusicMan SUB. Made in the USA This bass is friggin awesome. The body has had a belly contour and forearm contour made and a custom Silver Sparkle done by the great Marty Bell. Not a scratch on it. Also it has and Aguilar OBP2 installed to give a bigger growl. Its got a beautiful rich rosewood board and it weighs in at skinny 9.4lbs! This bass looks incredible on stage. The all black neck with the Sparkle looks killer. It will come with the original preamp and a clear and an Abalone pickguard. Sorry no case but it will be doubleboxed for shipping. The pre and paint were $550 by themselves. Steal this bass for $750 shipped conus.

I think this is one of my favorite musicmans that I've seen on this sight... Wish I had the money. Looking or any trades?

I like the color... I don't know about the neck on these. Not a fan of Rosewood fretboards, too. Also might be too much overlap with my EBMM Sterlings :P

RockBoxBass · #15 05-03-2011, 04:54 PM

Ive had about 15 SR5's. the neck feels the same. rosewood/maple....personal choice

I likem both. each instrument has its own character. This Sparkle paint job by Marty Bell is flawless....it looks incredible under stage lights...

RockBoxBass · #17 05-03-2011, 05:12 PM

Guess it'd help if I'd read the whole OP.
I have a couple of feelers out there for some other basses FS. If they don't pan out and this is still here, I might just take it. Yet another free bump for you.
