sirands1 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) [size=5]THIS HAS NOW BEEN SOLD[/size] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]For sale - a very reluctant sale - my awesome MusicMan Sterling Bass guitar - for sale for £900 with hard case[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]PLEASE NOTE: [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This is NOT the cheaper 'Sterling by MusicMan' range that they now produce - annoyingly they gave a cheaper range of guitars a similar name. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This is the full and proper Sterling Bass, made in the USA, that RRPs for around £1700 [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Bought around 2010 I have gigged this amazing guitar a few times, and I absolutely love it, but as I am moving abroad I need to get rid of some gear [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Black finish, white scratch guard, and rose wood neck. [/size][/font][/color] [font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][color=#666666][size=3]This one was made to my specification directly from the factory in California, and includes a dual humbucker pickup arrangement that is pretty rare, and kicks out some amazing power! The two pickup arrangement, combined with an active 3 band preamp, and a five way pickup switch give an unbelievable range of tones and sounds. The switch gives you a great combination of either playing both coils from a pickup together, or combining different coils from each pickup in parallel. Which I think gives it the edge over the other single HS and H arrangements that are possible. [/size][/color][/font] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Check out the schematics [url="http://www.music-man.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=download&id=42"]here[/url][/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This has to be the smoothest and nicest neck to play from any bass I have ever played. It is thinner than the Stingray neck, giving you a more Jazz bass feel to it, great if you want a bit more reach and I think this makes it a faster neck to play. I love the action as well, great for fast finger style or punchy hard attacking riffs, must be played to be appreciated and happy to give you a demo if you are in the London area. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Condition wise it is almost perfect - I cannot find a scratch or a dent on it - It's been my pride and joy and is very well looked after. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]See the full spec here [/size][/font][/color][url="http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling.html"]http://www.music-man...s/sterling.html[/url] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Bass comes with strap and original bomb proof Music Man flight case [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Prefer pick up or local delivery in London area, but will consider posting if required[/size][/font][/color] Edited July 24, 2014 by sirands1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
