Sterling by Music Man RAY4HH 4-String Bass Guitar Right-Handed Olive Green | Professional Electric Bass for Rock, Jazz & Studio Recording

I have been playing Bass off and on since around 1987 or 88 and i have owned a cheap Hondo a Squier a Rickenbacher and an Ibanez. up until now i have never played a Musicman or Musicman style. (Sterling bass) This is by far the Best Bass guitar i have ever owned at a ridiculously low price. when i opened it up yesterday i first noticed the nut had all kinds of plastic burrs sticking out all around the strings and were easily brushed off. the D string made almost no sound whatsoever and i was puzzled so i tested the pickups and they were in 100% working order. so i changed the strings to Rotosound FM66 30 50 70 90' Lowered the action and now i have the best Bass guitar money can buy. Its a steal at $464.00 that's with tax and free shipping. I could not be Happier! I have never seen a dead string before and the D string as DOA. a neighbor of mine has it now and is testing it and unwinding it to see what the cause of a mute string could be. he has owned 100's of guitars and has never seen such a problem as well.
