Mike Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, bit of a pride and joy here. A Sting signature, with upgraded pickup [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/vintage-1/scpb1_vintage_f/"](This Seymour Duncan)[/url], a tortoiseshell pickguard, and accurate (and devilishly hard to get hold of) chrome guards. I will also include a [b]fitted, hardshell case[/b], and the [b]original pickup[/b] and [b]white pickguard[/b]. I sanded the back of the neck slightly to get rid of that thick gloss that I'm not a fan of. It feels a hundred times better to my hands now - there is a little discolouration in one area, but nothing too bad. Worth it for the feel, in my book. I can get a picture of it if it's an important point to anyone. The upgraded pup gives it a huge boomy, classic P sound - really beefy, very simple of course but sits so nicely in a band! Reason for sale? My Shuker, of course! It's just not getting played anymore. And how am I going to afford Shuker no2? [i][b]Exactly![/b][/i] Shipping is £20, or ideally picked up from Chelmsford, Essex, for free! I have someone who has expressed an interest in this bass - so if I get a PM from them confirming the want it, they have first dibs. You know who you are! But otherwise - fire away! [size=7][b]£400[/b][/size] - a very fair price, I feel, considering the extras. I've priced up new ones from £565 to £450.

Frusty Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 That is a really beautiful bass. The chrome hardware and new scratchplate make it look far better than the 'ordinary' Sting basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceBassice Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi, Did you sell this bass? If not I wanna buy it today! Please let me know Thanks x Alice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi Alice - thanks for the offer, but this sold quite a while ago. I see I selfishly didn't change the title to reflect this. Sorry! Good luck buying one - if I see one I'll drop you a PM. Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
