NBD: I'm All In!

[madbassplaya]

The big brown truck dropped this off yesterday:

Very pleased so far. The bass needs some TLC and new strings for sure. The headstock looks like it got into a fight with the drummer's crash cymbal but that's alright. I wanted a bass that I could gig with and not worry about and I love the Stingray tone.

Both of my basses that I am gigging with are EBMM's now. That is a good feeling!

SUB's are killer..........show us the headstock man.......wanna see the war wounds

Ohh, ...just joined (finally) Talkbass forum and saw that one there too!

I thought it's a Classic 5 with after-market pick guard, but now I see it's SUB!

Are SUB's EBMM basses? Or "something" by Music Man?

 

[five7]

workingman's classic!
real deal, keko

 

[Holdsg]

all SUBs were made in SLO

I have the identical bass with an after-maket PG. Awesome instrument and well worth the price paid. Enjoy!!

Very cool find, congrats.

We need more pics BTW.

the SUB is a great bass for the guy who wanted a Ray but couldn't afford it.like me

am in the process of trying to pry another away from a buddy of mine......he's a 5 stringer and the SUB he has is a 4 banger.......I use it against him..hehehehe....

good score man....congrats

Keko:

those are the factory pg's.....some guys swap them out for pg's from the Ray's.....I flipped mine to a black

Right on madbassplaya - I have that exact same bass. I call it my trainer as I'm learning how to play 5 strings with her. If I like it, then I'll get me a real bass.

I haven't gig'd with her yet as I'm still not all that comfortable with 5 strings. I sure wish BP would build a 3 string. I'd buy that in a New York Minute.

T-bone........they are real basses man.......just not the real McCoy type basses.

I'll congratulate you here as well as the other place - I hope you like yours as much as I'm liking mine... I suppose I could start a thread, also... Happy NBD,

Congrats, can't figure out the color...... Is it black??? In the picture it appears to have a green tint?

 

[Holdsg]

definitely black. had one with the same finish, once.

 

[fly]

I don't think they had a green type option......I'm going with Black


Black,White,Cinnamon Red (i think)and a Blue?

wish they were still on the EBMM website

 

[fly]

madbassplaya........is she active or passive?

If it's just like mine - and it appears to be - I *think* it's called "graphite", as it's more of a very dark grey than it is black...

[fly]
