Finally got a EBMM Bass

[sloshep]

I have been wanting one for years, but they were always out of my price range. As of late I was getting serious GAS for that MM sound. Walked into a G.C. and found one of those Manager's Specials I had always heard about. The last SUB in the place. I knew if I didn't grab it would be gone soon. I am now the proud owner of a SUB 5 in red w/ black pickguard and compensated nut.

The compensated nut became a standard feature on the SUB's recently. Within the last year maybe? My serial# is in the X15xxx range. Here is a quote on the new nut from the EBMM Bass F.A.Q.'s "This nut is standard on all Music Man guitars and basses - even SUBs."

Now if can just get use to that extra string. This is my first 5er.

Give it 6 months...you won't know how you ever did w/o it. And congrats on a great bass!! SUBs have that EBMM mojo in spades. Enjoy

You are 3rd person to tell me that. I think once it gells there will be no turning back.
