[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='204534' date='May 22 2008, 08:30 PM']Steve is a friend of the forum. Knowing that he used to be pro EB, I'm guessing that has to irk Sterling some.[/quote]

I'm sure theres a load more things irking Sterling Ball with Steve Barr than a commissioned Lakland bass.

nice bass btw.

well played if its yours now Kev

cant see how this would fare any better on the EBMM boards....maybe a bit more interest on account of the blue dawn finish but 95% of the punters there are from the other side of the pond and would prolly only pay the same in dollars. you're better off keeping it here imo maybe trades or partial trades or pop it on gumtree/adtrader. its a nice bass,someone will buy it I'm sure

G&L Tribute L-2000? It does a ton of bass sounds and it just kills the 3 basses you mention imo

There's some great bass playing on Roxy Music albums.. The bass on 'Mother of Pearl' on the Stranded album is just wonderful![/quote]

absolutely! funky,melodic and immensely inspiring

A guitar with an oil/wax maple fingerboard I have looked similiar but far more so than this JO. The chap who sold it to me had it refretted with jumbo frets by Feline guitars just before I got it.They either planed or sanded the board and then sealed it so it looked as good as new. excellent job they did too.
not much help I know but surely better to play the JO religiously,wear the frets out and then have the above work done I;m sure

lovely bass btw

[quote name='Maxcat' post='192011' date='May 5 2008, 07:55 AM']Another sweaty hello from Reading via Dalry[/quote]


Dalry eh? my stepdad took me to an amateur footie match a wee while back, it was Beith vs Dalry,honestly you'd have thought those two next door towns were seperated by ideology,some of the stuff that was going on was just mental.

Anyway I'm more civilised,I'm from Killie and up to my knees in Ayr blood :blush:

or get one of each. nowt wrong with that if you've the readies

SR5 - today,tomorrow and the day after that.

You just play those things and everythings good in the world

thanks John, I asked as i havent had a peek under the bonnet so to speak and normally Fishman have their logo somewhere on the backplae or suchlike if its one of their regular systems. the piezo sounds fantastic and I love the tone of it solo'd without the EMG. plenty of "boing" in it. and the bass looks,feels and plays flat out cool (really nice tension and tone on the B string)

and yay! for slotted headstocks!

cheers

John,

when did you get the 4 HHp? that looks great.. what a terrific flame on the cap and lovin the colour :wub:

incidentally,who makes the piezo system on these? I'm very impressed with it through an ART Tube MP and into the PA.

great basses these Bolins!

Keir

had a few PMs on this the last couple of days - thanks for the offers but looks like she's spoken for

sent you a PM

not even a hello,straight in for the kill.

nice bass btw,more so as yours doesn't have that horrible 2007 inlay

I've always thought the single coil sound on the Sterling is a great additional tone.

and the neck profile is lovely,if you like the nut width

this is a really beautiful and classy looking bass. I already know they play and sound great

I'm lovin the fine detail on this one.

it deserves a good home

[quote name='ped' post='186786' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:26 PM']Don't go without saying goodbye David!! And I hope you will keep Basschatting from Singapore?

Just to echo Macko's comment earlier, business with Eubassix always goes down smooth. Without this man I would be bassless.

[quote name='birdy' post='186804' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:47 PM']Agree with this entirely. Very good packaging as well!

Steve[/quote]

+1 from me on all this. Dave's a great guy to deal with. had some good conflabs about all things bass on the blower with the fella when I got the Godlyke Disciple from him a few weeks back. helpful and accomodating chap. i wish you all the best with your move sir,will miss seeing your exotica up for sale here

and ooh! thats my old CAR Sterling. awesome example, whoever gets it will love it!

Keir

I find this bit confusing

[quote name='Adee' post='185041' date='Apr 25 2008, 08:12 AM']The common factor here is that everyone who has owned this bass, have Fender P-Basses
and this Lakland is NOT a P-Bass anymore to my ears[/quote]

but on the ebay listing it says

"I'm offering a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub with Villex Pickup with 4 position mid switch and Villex rotary tone boost, really adds another dimension to the Precision sound while retaining the classic passive P bass tone as well"

(key word here being "retaining")

so which one is it?

nice price Wull.

wish I had the readies for it

agreed,the Sterling is more organic and growly than a Bongo and more too than an SR5 . Bongo sound is more about the electronics,bigger and smoother. when I had a Bongo and Sterling at the same time,switching from the bongo to the sterling was like going from active to passive,like a lot of volume and tone dropped out.
The Bongo sounds better but from experience I think the Sterling/SR5 is the better gigging bass

[quote name='budget bassist' post='183194' date='Apr 22 2008, 09:09 PM']Really? must have been quick because i'm always looking at their for sale section.[/quote]

yes was quick, seller was bdgotoh, he was selling the Copperhead Bronze Sterling single H and a Desert Gold Sterling H at the same time,both had rosewood boards,the CB was sold within hours and the DG one not long after. I remember it as its the only Sterling I think I've ever seen in the bronze with the copper pickguard

a Sterling in this colour sold dead quick on the EBMM boards couple of months back. that one,an SR4 and maybe another 5 as well as yours are the only ones I've ever seen come up for sale

good luck with the sale!

and a hello from Kilmarnock

would love this but probably just the colour giving me GAS. already have an Albert Lee broadly similiar in spec. anyway your Silhouette is a beauty

would an Axis or Axis EX interest you?

btw,are we talking PRS EG4 ? - another fine (and rare) guitar!

cheers

[quote name='BassManKev' post='181152' date='Apr 20 2008, 05:17 PM']possibly my fender?[/quote]


thanks for the offer but P-basses are not my cup of char

cheers
