S.U.B. comin' my way.

[Mobay45]

I "won" a S.U.B. 5 on ebay last night. Right now I'm just waiting to hear how much the guy wants for shipping so I can get him paid. It's a graphite body just like the one at one of the GCs here in town. I'm planning to use it to make the transition from 4 to 5 string. When I'm comfortable on it, I will sell my SR4 and pick up a used SR5 or Bongo 5er.

Good news, Larry. I played that one at GC and liked it a lot.

How is the SUB5?

I'm going to start looking to replace my recent SR5 that was stolen *sniff*

 

[Mobay45]

Well, let me start by saying "It's not a stingray". It does do a good job of mimicking the stingray sound though. It has a slab body instead of a contoured body. The feel of the neck and the action on the one I played was excellent. I still don't care for the overall appearance, but I will be installing a new p/g as soon as I can. It's strong enough that I don't have any qualms about gigging with it. I don't think it will bother me much to only have a two band EQ. I usually run the mids flat on my SR4 anyway.

Exactly what I'm thinking of doing... I'll be interested to hear how the SUB5 compares with the SR

Yeah, me too. I have already returned a couple of basses to MF because they couldn't measure up to my 'ray.

I'll do a side by side comparison as soon as I get the SUB.

Well I did own an SR5 and I do own a SR4. I'm looking to replace my SR5 that was stolen. I'm just wondering how big of a "step" down it would be to go from my SR5 to a SUB5. Or should I just bite the bullet and get another SR5? Make sense?

Should the new slogan be: "You can't beat a Musicman Bongo!",

 

[cgworkman]

I hate to be the black sheep - but I think I'd rather have another SR5 than another Bongo...

 

[Mobay45]

Did you decide not to bid anymore on the white one on the bay?

Did you decide not to bid anymore on the white one on the bay?

I'm still deciding. I think I'm looking for a "younger" one since mine went missing at less than two months old...

I still may bid though. Dunno.

I'm also looking at some on Basscentral
