TRADED: Musicman Sterling Black Onyx "Davtran" Limited Edition £1000 £1150

[Bungie]

Trade value tweaked to a nice round £1000. Happy to listen to trade offers either side of this.

Time to recirculate this stunning bass into the Basschat community.

For trade is my [b]Musicman[/b][b] Sterling [/b][b]Black[/b][b] Onyx [/b][b]"Davtran" Limited Edition[/b]

Only 150 made, and all were produced circa. Oct and Nov 2002.
This is No 132 of 150 and has a Certificate of Authenticity.

I have owned it for a couple of years, but it has been through the hands of a number of Basschatters over the years. Because it has its own hand written limited edition number, it is quite easy to trace on the forum and the internet generally (there is loads of information out there on this limited edition run). This bass even features on the "The Original Comprehensive Music Man Bass Website". Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page and you will see a photo of the actual bass itself.

The bass is in superb condition with no noticeable marks whatsoever, other than pick marking on the pick guard. I suspect it has been kept as a collector’s piece by most of its previous owners, but I played it regularly for a year and enjoyed it so much, I bought a second USA MM Sterling, which I now play exclusively. This one is just too nice to use for day to day duties. And of course, it is very, very black. It even comes with black strap locks and its very black original MM hardcase.

A beautiful instrument that is a delight to play and now needs a new owner.

[b]Trade wise I’m looking for either a really nice Jazz, Stingray, Bongo or possibly a Ric[/b] (if I can use that word here), but open to offers. I’m York based, but willing to travel for the right trade.

Apologies for the photos, I wish I could master the skills of some fellow Basschatters with the camera! (Edit: Just 'borrowed' the below photos from another forum site when the bass was sold back in 2012. Hope the contributor doesn't mind).

Thanks Martin, she's as nice as ever. And I still feel justified wearling the EBMM T shirt you gave me, given that I still own a second Sterling!
Price adjustment to £1k and happy to listen to trade offers with cash adjustment.

Hi Bungie. Happy for you to use my pics and hope you sell it soon. This was mine before I swapped it for a Jaydee Supernatural series III
courtesy of MB1. I swapped my Ric 4003 to get it. It has been around a bit and was originally owned
by someone in the USA before it found it's way across the pond. It's a beast of a bass and very collectable. GLWTS

Thanks Blunderthumbs, you are a gentleman! I really enjoyed tracking its history on the net. She is certainly very collectable, but sadly I suffer from bad GAS and despite best intentions never hang on to my nicest basses for very long before the urge to trade takes over.

Cheers,

Neil

Hi Sascha,

I'm afarid I wouldn't be confident in doing a trade overseas. I would contemplate a straight sale overseas, which I have done previously.

Cheers,

Neil
