Nice one, many thanks.

Interesting stuff. As a newbie to HH basses (a recently acquired 4HH Stirling) would one of you knowledgeable types be able to advise on the pickup selector options for me? I copied the below for a Stingray HH from a thread on T***bass, but what about a Sterling? Is it exactly the same as the ‘ray?

Heard about that, great story. Best of luck to you all 👍

Sold a MB200 to Ian. Great comms and prompt payment. First class BassChatter 👍 Trade with confidence

Up until a couple of years ago I played 4H Stingrays almost exclusively. Had lots, 2 and 3 band but then just fell for the simplicity of a Fender P. More recently I had a Sandberg PM4. Loved the sound and flexibility of the p and MM pickups but couldn’t get on with the pickup positioning. Fast forward to today. Popped into a localish music shop (just for nosey as you do) and saw that they had a used black and Rosewood Stirling 4HH for sale at a very reasonable price. Now, the Stirling model has never been on my radar as I’d gotten into my head that the neck was too thin/Jazz for me. However, I fell in love with it. It played great, felt instantly comfortable to play but more importantly the range of useable tones was a revelation. I snapped it up there and then and can’t wait to use it in anger. 😃

Happy to start a feedback thread for Weeludo. Sold a lovely P bass to Lewis. Great communication throughout and very prompt payment. Have no fears here, trade with confidence 👍. Enjoy the bass and many thanks again.

Yeah, they tried the same with me. Was sorted in the end but how they went about it was absolutely shocking.

Not to mention that given my last experience of buying from Bass Direct, I’d sooner pull my fingernails out and sprinkle the open wounds with vinegar!

No, it’s the P4 model that I’m after. Not keen on the new one.

That’s lovely 😍. I recently parted company with my PM4 as I couldn’t get on with the pickup configuration/positioning. Loved the shape, quality etc though. Now if something more traditional like this came up for sale, I’d be all over it. I don’t care for the VS shape, but this is gorgeous.

I noted on another thread that I’d used an Rb9 and Laney cab at a rehearsal room a couple of months back and it sounded great (even took a pic). Very punchy with far better than expected dispersion. Very impressed.

Bought a rather lovely Berg cab from Mikan. He kindly agreed to meet a little nearer to me for a text book BC motorway services handover. Great communication throughout and cab exactly as described. Trade with confidence 👍 Many thanks

Very happy to start a feedback thread for Satchmo. Sold my Sanberg to Patrick. We agreed to meet at a convenient halfway location and had chance for a good old natter. Great communication throughout and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Trade with absolute confidence 👍 Enjoy the bass!

Just sold a body and neck to Dunc. He had to jump through many hoops to get payment across but kept me informed throughout. Trade with confidence 😁
