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

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

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

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

You really cannot go wrong.[/quote] [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. ped[/quote] [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!

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 Keir

all PMs replied to. No Bongo players looking for something a whole lot shexier? Keep them offers coming thanks Keir

Up for trade is this 2002 white sparkle Sterling with rosewood board and abalone scratchplate (also spare black one). pretty much flawless condition (apart from some scratches on the guard). No fretwear,or grime on the neck,been well babied. fairly low action,no issues whatsoever. I should also point out its also a lot more sparkly under lighting than these pics suggest. When I got the bass it didnt have a MM case, It does now though and also I just bought the abalone plate a few weeks ago been a few years since MusicMan offered the sparkle finishes (apart from the blue dawn LE07). If you're after one,you'll have a hard job finding one in better condition. I wanted one of these so bad for so long but now I've had it 6 months,been there,done that,fancy something new you may have seen it on these boards before with a maple neck. that was off the CAR Sterling which I recently just traded with eubassix. this one pictured is the original neck trade wise looking for a Bongo,Lakland DJ or 44-02,maybe a MIA S1 Jazz or Warwick,others considered too - soft spot for G&L in particular - cash either way depending on what you got. In the unlikely event you want to trade a 5 string version of the above (apart from the fender - sry their Am.Std 5s have a rubbish B string) then I'd be more into that may offer the Sterling up for sale if I dont get the any or the right trade offers
