Music Man SUB Value

[bbecker]

I have an opportunity to buy a MM Sub bass in good condition, minor finish nicks and a broken knob. The asking price is $300. Any opinions on whether that is a good deal? I simply don't have any idea what these go for right now.

Thanks!

very good price. I have a hard time telling a sub from a stingray in regards to tone. A sub is a very high quality bass in my opinion and sounds fantastic. I say go for it.

That is a good deal, some guy on CL is selling one for twice that.

The SUB basses are great, get it now.

Killer price man, jump on it!

Thanks for the replies, even though I have a G&L coming tomorrow from a trade through TB, I may have to pick it up!

 

[pudgychef]

grab it!!

Yup, just like everyone said..go for it! The SUB is an amazing bass if you don't mind the pickguard (easily replaceable) or the paint (on the bright side it wont ever wear really). Besides those two and the slightly cheaper woods, its pretty much a stingray.

yeah, grab it!!!

There's a store in my area selling a New-old-stock SUB 5 for $730 or so

Jump on it. That's a fantastic price. The best price I've ever seen for them was $450.

Grab it, if only to flip on here.

I (along with several others here) bagged one for $329.99, new, at GC when the first colors were discontinued. MSRP was $999.99.

Someone here living in Arizona got one for $299.99 at GC during the same blowout.

Objectively good basses, but quite heavy and in calculatedly ugly colors. Black's about the best you can hope for.

Not ugly, but I guess that's all opinion.

Great value for a great bass ...
the colours aren't great but that finish really protects the wood

 

[MrMe]

Wood? =P

Unfortunately I missed the GC blowout sales when they were discontinued. I have only seen them on eBay and such places for really crazy prices.

I had a burgandy red SUB that was a pretty nice color in person, though the "stucco" finish left a lot lot be desired. I also had a black one. The finish was indestructable, though took a lot of getting used to.

i remember a local place used to sell them for 429 bucks brand new when they were still in production but recent prices would suggest that you should pick that one up!

 

[mikeswals]

350 was the best I saw on my local CL a month ago, but I didn't have any spare cash then.

Looks a lot better with the black guard. That diamond plate guard dosen't do much for me. I have the flipflop blue 5 string.
