OldSchool Noob set me up with this fine example of Musicman. It has the nicest neck of any I have owned. It came with new strings! What a guy! And it weighs a pound less than all the others. 8.9 :D If this ain't a blue collared mans classic 5 I'll eat that toolbox pickguard I had to remove first thing. Action and stingray tone to die for :D :D :D Now all I have to do is make a tort pickguard.

When you coming back to colo ? I'll try to hang onto this one. In fact I know I will hang on to it. Then I might have to loan you my bongo.

Glad you like it, Bert!

That really is a nice bass -- the neck on that thing rivals my Bongo. (And that's saying a LOT!)

Enjoy it! :D

I have been playing it all day, I think I already wore the strings out! I really have missed the ray tone and this sure delivers. :p

Actually, all that bass needs is a new pickguard and a bit of polishing and it will look virtually brand new. If I hadn't already had a Stealth Bass, I would have put a different PG on it and kept it myself. At one point I was serious about having it refinished but in the end, I decided that I didn't want to sink $500 into a SUB.

If I'd followed my original plan however, and had it refinished in Radiance Red, it would have been a knockout!

My wife did not like the fact I had a nacked bass so she made me a black sugar pickguard. I think she did a great job!
