This is a bit of a feeler as I've only recently picked this up from Manu Berdin in a trade. Unfortunately I'm looking for something to string E-C and whilst this is an amazing bass in all respects it's not working for me tonally in the upper register despite a few different string types and set ups.

I've restrung it back B-G and it works much better but I'm just not getting a warm glow that this will work for me in the longer term.

Open minded regarding where this goes. Sale wise I'm after £1,200 as this is what I put into the trade with Manu, trade wise it needs to be a 6 or 5 that will work with the tuning I've described - I'm already good for old school so looking for something modern. It's also possible that I might just need to hold onto the Stam as it's a true beaut in all respects - perhaps the tone will grow on me.

I've added some quick pics taken today plus here is a link to Manu's post (hope you don't mind Manu) which contains the detailed spec for the bass as well as some additional pictures. The bass is also featured on the Stam website if you're interested. TKL hardcase is included.
