Music Man
Music man 5 string Basses For sale
Music Man began as a company under the control of Leo Fender, but due to conflicts between Fender's assorted companies, the StingRay and the Sabre (the only electric solid-bodied guitars created by Music Man before the company was bought by Ernie Ball) failed and the company went under. These original models are incredibly difficult to find. Ernie Ball, however, created new lines of guitars: the Silhouette and the extensive Signature series, which thrived on player-endorsements. These guitars were clean and crisp and well-created, so Ernie Ball/Music Man began to come back. To further compete with lower-end instrument sellers, Music Man created the SUB line, which was ultimately discontinued as well.
Some well-known Music Man players include Eddie Van Halen, John Fogerty, and Keith Richards.
