Wow, I'm an idiot!

So I posted and deleted a post last week stating I didn't like my new SUB4. At that time I was playing it direct in my recording studio. Well, we jammed this weekend with my road rig (SWR SM-400, AMPEG BSE-410HLF) I put some new ErnieBall Regulars on it and yeah this thing rocks. I am quite humbled. It just fit right into our sound, and the rest of the band were very impressed.

So another Musicman convert is among you.

Anyone want to buy a Fernandes five string

No on the Fernandes. But, glad you got your bass worked out. Have fun!

Cool Lomky!
As for the Fernandes, maybe some slack jawwed yokel from Nisku or Millet OR, heaven forbid, even Leduc might buy it

haha, yeah this is what I'm thinking. It's actually not a bad bass, I've played it for many years and it has not let me down. And plus it is a really beautiful see thru purple stain. I'm not trying to sell anyone here on it though

I have my four string Ibanez as a backup, and I'm really kinda tired of playing the five string.

I did find that the super slinkeys that came w/ the SUB were a little too floppy when drop D tuning. The regulars feel and sound much better for me.

Now I need to find a clear pickguard so I can have purty pictured on my bass!

Whew! I'm glad you got the SUB worked out. I think they are great basses. The longer I have mine the better I like it.

Haha. I had 2 Fernandes of my own and they weren't my thing. Although, I do know someone who's absolutely nuts about these basses. PM me a price including shipping and everything i'll ask him if you'd like.

Oh yeah. Congrats on the SUB4. Awesome basses they are.

I tell you, I played a SUB last month (it's bottomdweller's) that made me salivate.

I can understand when certain basses don't float everyone's boat, but MAN, I was absolutely floored by that SUB.

I even had a SUB fund to buy my own, but then I was distracted by a sparkly thing on eBay.

I'd really like to get one of the passive SUB's for something a little different.....

The other day I played with a SUB 5 fretless that sounded incredible. I was sooo close but couldn't pull the trigger (I'm struggling with 4 strings and frets, so why a 5 string fretless?). Someone else did soon enough though.

Zammit. Shoulda traded for it. That thing was fun!
