Details

Hey all!

Up for grabs is this new to me Muckelroy HMC5 Pro Player. These basses are Brady's more cost friendly model, but still completely hand made by him in his shop in Texas. They're just offered as a neck through with limited choices on woods and options.

This one is a 33" scale with beautiful mahogany wings, 3 piece maple neck with a curly maple center. Alder tone block. Aguilar DCB pickups with an Aguilar OBP3 preamp. The only issue I've noticed with the bass is a ding on the side/bottom near the input jack.

This bass was owned previously by TBer @77stingray who didn't have the bass very long before sending it my way.

I recently received this bass in a trade, and 5 strings don't really do it for me.

Skip the 4 month wait and get a deal on a sweet bass.

I'm not particularly interested in trades at this time. Unless you have a medium scale Muckelroy with tight string spacing. I'm guessing the odds on that are pretty long. I'll split the actual shipping with the buyer. Fully insured.

I do have the truss rod cover. It is back on the bass.

Currently strung with d'addario chromes.

It was around 8.5 lbs using the bathroom scale method of me with the bass and me without.

I have the sister bass to this one....... With same 33'' and Aguilar upgrade..I'm still in heaven!!!!

Plays like a dream. Possibly my forever bass. Unless I one day get Brady to make a 32'' with some crazy top. But, I don't care too much for over the top fancy looking basses and that's why the Pro Player was perfect for me - ALL the goods and workmanship but, without the exotic choices and finishes....With still a killer look - this Mahagony has more detail and definition than mine, just beautiful.

You have great taste in basses, Mat! I really wish I could get this one. I would have bought it already, but cash is tight and I’m limited to trades or at least partial trade deals right now. I’m sure I’ll own it someday, because I seem to wind up owning all of @77stingray’s Muckelroys at some point! In the meantime, I know someone will be absolutely thrilled with this bass. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Your old fretless is due to arrive today! Haha


After playing 6 strings for a while, 5 is weird for me. 4 feels fine, but 5 just feels... wrong.

Self-restraint fails me again... I’ll take it, Mat. PM sent.

As I said, I think I’m ultimately destined to own every one of @77stingray’s Muckelroys at some point! (So, what’s next Allison?)

HAHAHA! That was me with JoeMac's Mucks for a long while!
