| | | | About to leave to buy this ernie ball bass, someone please read!
I'm looking for an answer on this, would this bass be worth $200? I'm literally leaving in 5-10 minutes to pick it up so an ASAP answer would be lovely http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/msg/3475612503.html  What kind of bass is this?
I can't identify it to other musicman basses |

| | | | That's not an ernie ball bass. I can't say if it is worth $200. |

Not bad.
See if he will go $150-175 then you have a real good deal
Check it out good and make sure everything is okay

Seems like a fair price with the case included. |

Sort of like a Squier.
They can be modded into real nice basses.
Dont expect to be getting a Sting Ray for $200

OLP wasn't owned by EB, it was a separate company that licensed (hence the name "offically licensed product") the MM designs and made them in China. EB ended up dropping their licensing with OLP and then started the Sterling by Musicman. |

They had like 4 bolt necks, most of them were passive, and if I remember even the bridge was a bit different. So they were more just basses that had a humbucker that looked like a stingray. |
