Music Man SUB RIP The post of Big Poppa explaining why they have to discontinue our beloved SUB
does anyone know how many sub 1's where made before they where dis continued? i just bought one but someone told me they are to become a collectors item as they are discontinued. they dealer i got it from has one more in black and im thinking of buying the second as an investment, any thoughts or opinions?
hi i ve just joined this group and will post piccys soon ,hello everyone!!
My Sub1 has a printed 'decal' on the back (see album)-Emergenza 2006. Serial #X13739. I am wondering if anyone knows the history of this guitar, reason for commemmorative, and so on. It would be much appreciated. Thanks, Max
Well I have had my Sub for almost a week now. So far I am very pleased with it/ as far as price point "Its a Steal" It has all the features that I would want in a guitar. Dual Humbuckers - Stock - that sound great to me. A very smooth Trem - Great feel - Prefer it to a Strat Trem. Locking Tuners with the coin Lock - That are a must on a Tremolo Guitar. Great feeling neck and very durable Body. Mine happens to be Burgandy with satin black pickguard. I picked up a MM case/ Very well built and much better than the Gig bag it came with. My Sub happens to be an 04' - I think first year production - And I think who ever owned it - never played it - Its dead Mint. Spent a little time tonight changing the strings and Treating the Rosewood neck. And it plays very well. My only negative if I really had one would be its weight. I am guessing it is somewhere around 8LBS. or more. Hope to post some Pics this week. Ken
Max-- From what I have read the Emergenza 2006 Sub Guitars - Where given out by Ernie Ball through a Guitar contest. They also gave out Axis guitars to some winners. I don't know if they are more collectable - but are very cool and unique. Just call EB Customer service and I am sure they can give you all the info. Ken
