This was supposed to be the fabled "one and only bass forever" and to be fair, it has done a very good job as such. I'm a big fan of these wonderful 80's Yamahas (also have a BB1100s) but am now hankering after a Stingray sound and rueing the day I sold my Sterling plus I need cash to restore my old double bass. This had one owner before me who gigged it for 10 years then it spent a few years idle before he could bring himself to part with it. It's a neck-through design with tiger stripe ebony fingerboard. Fantastic clear sound, huge output and great for recording. Slim neck with low action and great playability. A few marks, scuffing where it has been played with a pick and a scratch on front near the pickups (see photo) Non-original hard case included £600 Collected from Manchester or can possibly meet up across the NW and further afield depending on my travel plans. Trades: All 4 string....fretted or fretless Stingray Sterling Maybe an old interesting P-bass Try me

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1403028075' post='2479049'] I've got a Sterling (proper, not sub or 'by') and I played it back to back with a Stingray (and a lot of other basses at Manchester Bass Lounge). Necks seemed very similar i.e. excellent. Body is smaller and lighter than the Stingray but it's not a light bass by any stretch. It's got seriously hyped actives. Mine's the 4H - single noise cancelling Humbucker with a 3-way switch for various modes. Pretty flexible tone between the pickup selector and the 3-way tone. I generally play with them in middle position, just rolling back treble if the room is very bright. The bass-boost is huge. I absolutely love it and the red body with black scratch looks great. I went into MBL looking to pick up a Jazz or similar and came out with this - one of the last basses I picked up in the 3 hours I was there and it was love at first riff. Original photos... [/quote] Thats my old bass! I traded it with Drew for a Thumb a while back, the Thumb is long gone and i was planning to go and rescue the precious red Sterling at some point until i saw it was gone (i live round the corner from Drew and his "lounge") Nice to know its not gone far....

Picked this up on here after Xmas and liked it so much i snapped up a BB3000A recently. After much swapping i have decided to keep the 3000 and let this one go. Partly because i like the simplicity of passive basses and its a neck thru as well. This is a 1992 model, made in Taiwan (built to last!) Active or passive Wineburst (i think thats the name of the colour.....i call it purple) When i bought it i had the following work carried out by Steve Curtis in Manchester: New nut Electronics re-soldered where appropriate New jack socket Replacement knob (this is identical but slightly different shade of black) Full set up.....LOW action New set of DR Neon strings in hot pink....apologies but i couldnt resist as they go so well with purple. It sounds great and the necks on these are famous for their playability. Usual dinks and scratches for a bass this age but nothing unpleasant. Price is low for a quick sale but is firm at £200 [attachment=132642:photo1.JPG] [attachment=132643:photo2.JPG] [attachment=132644:photo3.JPG] [attachment=132645:photo4.JPG] [attachment=132646:photo5.JPG] [attachment=132647:photo6.JPG] Collection from Manchester (soft case included in the sale) or could meet up in NW.

I went straight to this bass from an ACG Finn4 and Warwick Thumb before that and it outlasted both! It was the tone that did it....the pick ups are great. This one has had the following upgrades: Tusq nut GOTOH high mass bridge Tone control added A sticker of a very attractive female to obscure the silly red bat decal (she is lovely) I used it on all the tracks on this album, recorded over Xmas. [url="http://www.pistonfunkmachine.bandcamp.com"]www.pistonfunkmachine.bandcamp.com[/url] Only moving it on as have just got hold of another vintage Yamaha and 3 basses is way too many in my book (and my wife would agree) Condition is top notch, no marks that i can see other than a teeny bit of buckle rash on the back. Collection from Manchester or can deliver locally. Price: £150 [attachment=130143:photo3.JPG] [attachment=130144:photo2.JPG] [attachment=130145:photo.JPG]

Looking to trade my Compact (bought new from Alex last July) Its an amazing cab and i am very happy with it but would like a 4ohm cab to extract all the goodness from my amp and am not keen on 2 cab options at the moment. Ridiculously light and can take everything my GB STL 900 will throw at it and still wants more. The amp us running out of steam at very high volumes and the clipping light will come on.....hence my desire for a 4ohm cab. Based in Manchester

I know this is a long shot but before i get myself on Alex's waiting list again, is there anyone out there with a Dubster thats too much for their current needs? I have a mint Compact (bought new July 2012) to trade. Trade value £400 Based in Manchester Will provide photos if this fictional character with said cab should materialise Cheers!
