View attachment 5471052 View attachment 5471053 View attachment 5471055 I am one of the older cats on TB, I have always wanted a USA bass. I have owned several nice MIM fenders and others but nothing cool. I was at GC about 5 years ago and was trading in a bass and picked up a Sterling Ray4. I wanted to see what all the buzz was about on these. I got comfortable with the style and sound. I have played p basses on & off but just dig the p bass sound. I got to where I played the ray4 at my gigs. I would occasionally bring my p bass instead and wonder why did I bring it. Since I liked the ray sound I started looking for a EBMM. Stingrays were a little out of my $$ range then I saw this SUB. GC sent it to me! It’s in excellent condition, came with really nice case & other pickguards. So my nice fender is heading to marketplace to cover the $$.
Main thing is the SUB has a TORT!

Tortliness is next to Godliness, and that's some fine looking tort. Nice dark rosewood neck too. Well Scored, Sir.

Ahhh...my second favorite color/tort combo! Love the way tort looks on black. Congrats on the bass!

If you have a MIM bass, the correct term for the pickguard is "tortilla".

Tort looks great. Real important question is, what does it weigh? No seriously, they are on my short list and I was wondering.
