Ian McFly Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 If my bank account wasn't in a bad shape, I would jump on it... But I already told you so.
kevbass Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 That is a smart looking bass, colour is lovely and the grain comes through nicely. Good luck with the sale.
Bassdude BE Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 Thanks! I'm really loving this bass right now, but i had the chance to play a modulus bass in the local shop today and the neck fitted the fast playing style of my new band perfectly, if i had loads of money i would buy the Modulus and keep the sterling as well since the Modulus had a really nice neck ,but also had a more sterile sound than the Musicman, but since i already had to save up for almost a year just to be able to buy this one i guess that's not an option...

jackyc123 Posted September 24, 2010 Posted September 24, 2010 Such a nice bass, bit too pricey though

Bassdude BE Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) New price is a lot higher + this is a very rare and beautifull finish, but if you think the price is to high; i'm open to other offers, no one ever died from asking! Hope this moves before that fleabass i'm after is sold though, otherwise there's no reason to sell it anymore... ow yes..BUMP! Edited September 25, 2010 by Bassdude BE
Bidd Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Having recently purchased a second hand one of these recently from here, I can certainly vouch for the lighter and faster aspect of this bass - at my first band rehearsal with one of these I was amazed at how easy and comfortable it was to play on. I used to play a Squier VM Jazz, and although it is an extremely good bass for its price, I was gobsmacked on how the Sterling not only had a better quality tone (well it is active), but the neck is just sublime to play on in comparison to the Jazz, and when I went back to playing on the Jazz, it felt cumbersome and uncomfortable.

[/quote] I own both of these basses and whilst I love the Flea because of the neck and the weight of the body, I think the Sterling has much more personality and grit in its tone, and for that reason it's the bass I always come back to in the end. If buying a Flea is your reason for selling, I would keep the Sterling personally,

If buying a Flea is your reason for selling, I would keep the Sterling personally.[/i] I agree with you on that & i know i will definately miss this one when it is gone, but it's really the carbon neck and also the lightweight of the modulus that i'm after, because i have to go to rehearsels by public transport from now one , now i lost my drivers license for speeding with my motorcycle... so after trading in my EBS 3/4 stack for a compact and lightweight TC electronic combo (+ extra 210 for gigs) i'm hoping to get an even lighter set-up by trading in my musicman for a modulus... and when you have to go to two different rehearsal locations every week (1 of them at the other end of the country) weight and portability becomes a very important factor! ... also with all that moving around in mind i don't want to use my musicman for those rehearsals because i'm afraid al that travelling might do the neck of the bass no good, while the modulus has a carbon fibre neck so that's again one less thing to worry about when dragging my gear around the country ... So far the musicman has never left the house , the neck is straight as an arrow and i would preffer to keep it that way! Edited September 27, 2010 by Bassdude BE

Bassdude BE Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 bumpdiebump, seriously thinking about keeping it again after playing it all night, the Modulus is still tempting tho...
