Adam, I'm really surprised this is still here. £700 is a fair price. My only suggestions would be to take some decent photos (even I can manage that, see my Nate Mendel ad) , put them on Photobucket, then copy and paste them here. Folk need decent photos, particularly of body and neck condition. I'm interested, as I'm sure other folk will be, but people can't judge from your photos. GLWTS

Damn it young Master Tim, you are good

BOO HISS!!!!!!! It may well be sold but we (well me) DEMAND comedy plate mock ups before thread lock

Good, now bugger off foul temptress I have been having nightly dreams about this very bass with a black mirrored scratchplate with a silver Eye of Horus on it

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1447004837' post='2904078'] From memory these are slimmer front to back too aren't they? [/quote] Yes Damon, slimmer front to back than most Fender's but not quite as slim front to back as a Lakkie Bob Glaub

Thanks everybody, all pm's replied. Tim, it's slightly less shallow front to back vs a Glaub, but it's a much narrower nut with. Glaub 44.5mm Standard P 41.6mm Standard jazz 38 mm This 40mm cheers, Karl.

One of these fellas [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=12100116063758&gclid=CjwKEAiAgvyxBRDmuviAj67g-XQSJABTLMcH35dszT2XAKol5lSxrz6nMqTn7e5A7d_c8jyYPtm-dhoCIgfw_wcB"]http://www.guitargui...tm-dhoCIgfw_wcB[/url] I have the chance of something a bit special, so putting this up for a short time. I would also be interested in something Fender, US and a bit special. I have cash available to add to this. Like all Mendels, slightly slimmer neck/nut, high mass bridge and SD pups. Lovely gigging bass, light at just over 8.5lbs. £525 collected from Wigan, £550 couriered mainland UK. My apologies for the photos, it's lashing it down plus I'm completely knackered after 2 late night gigs. Thanks for looking, Karl.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Might help your sale if you tell folk where you are based and also if you are prepared to courier (at buyers cost). Nice bass, good luck with the sale.

Stunning bass. Passive Light weight What seems an amazing price (I don't know with Warwick's) for a custom shop. I would guess, like many, it's too long a trip to collect. Might be worth having a look at Parcelhero, through their UPS service. Unlike Interparcel, they will quote over 125 cms. Wrap the case in bubblewrap, insure at £750, pass cost onto buyer. Probably total around £35. Just a thought. Good luck.

Great bass. Great bloke. FABULOUS photography. Hurry up and get it bought peeps.

Bugger, that was quick Andy, didn't even get time to put my Nate Mendel Precision up for sale

Welcome, it ain't gonna be around long that's for sure

Good luck. I would have had that if I wasn't 200 miles away.

[quote name='vmaxblues' timestamp='1446572127' post='2900467'] Karl, not a problem my friend! [/quote] Really really sorry Stuart. Just so thankful you were so helpful. Sorry to all, bass picked up an hour ago, thanks for all the interest.

There ended up 8 people communicating with me on this Sterling. Some emails crossed and it all got a bit complicated. Just a note re Mr. vmaxblues. Stuart I can't thank you enough for graciously letting me off the hook. You are very kind.

Sorry, just to add. As can be seen in the pictures, it has the early version's chrome battery cover and the full bridge with mutes. It also has the original sticker on the pot, 22/6/1994. I can't photo it as I'm crap

Many thanks all. There are 7 folk expressed some level of interest in this Sterling. I am having problems with the extremely crappy Talk Talk, but I will get everybody replied to. Apologies, Karl.

Thanks guys. Mr James MM do a standard model STINGRAY, called the SLO, that has a jazz neck but they are few and far between in the UK. And at a premium I believe. The Sterling was originally brought out in 1993 as a slimmer neck Stingray, bassically to compete with Fender jazz necks. pfonck, I will ship to Europe IF the buyer pays and organises their own courier. This is because in the unlikely event it goes wrong in the UK, I can get in my car and go give a couriers head office a hard time. I can't do that on the continent. Please check my feedback. Thanks Tom, really kind, hope you are ok dood. Nowt wrong with the neck, but you might not like the rosewood FRETBOARD Cheers Tonci, you have some wonderful basses so that is praise coming from you EDIT. Ooops, all pm's replied, many thanks to all.

22nd June 1994 Musicman Sterling. Pearl white, very good condition with a few little bumps. Jazz profile neck, rotaries are vol/bass/mid/treble, slider is both parallel or both series or one coil plus phantom. Weighs 8lb 9oz great player but I just can't get on with active basses. If it doesn't go in a couple of weeks I may look at getting it converted to passive. Great condition for this 21 year old US bass. £750 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles of Wigan) . £780 couriered mainland UK. Comes complete with world's worst most beaten up, but usable Fender hardcase. Any trial welcome in Wigan, any questions etc. Not to be confused with the Sterling by Musicman or Sterling Ray34, the actual Sterlings are around £1500 new.C Cheers, Karl.

Despite the huge trek to Stansted, if you would be interested in a part trade I would be very interested in trying to come to a deal. Regardless, GLWTS
