Shockwave Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Looks like its black. Is it? Woah! nice So yes, A lovely Sterling is on its way with part of my 1100 available. The price? A cool [b]£460[/b] shipped to the UK. (However i got stung 100 quid vat ) so about 560+ total. This is my 2nd Musicman and i cant wait! Reasons i went with a sterling is my crumbling back (At 23 yeah i know!) And The need for a funky 4 string. Any more ladies musicman bass pictures and opinions will be appreciated! Rob. PS.

The 2004 Sterling I bought to replace my 1990 Ray weighed about 1/2 lb more Having said that it did sound pretty good. And, in purple it's definately a girls bass - better get that hair cut me lad :ph34r: Edited September 26, 2008 by martthebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2005 Ray I currently have is about 9.25 - go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well, If its anything to do with years (Which i doubt it is.) The sterling was born on the 20th of feb 2001 originally Sold to Guitar center in new york. My Sr5 was born 6 April 2001 and was originally sold to Guitar Center in Rockville, MD.

phsycoandy Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) So how do u buy, ship and pay the revenue for a what looks like new MM for under 500 notes please? Edited September 26, 2008 by phsycoandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) thats a nice one! agree with martthebass on weights. I sold these 2 Sterlings earlier this year. Both felt heavier or at least as heavy as my SR5 (which I've still got) the white sparkle was a 2002 and the candy apple red was a 2004. the SR5 is a 2001. I didnt sell them because of weight or anything just fancied a change both times. I will buy another as I badly regret letting those Sterlings go.They were both superb players and for me the best neck I've yet played on any bass. if your back dont like it..... I would!

Kev Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 not sure about rob's, but my stingray 5 is a beast at 12 pounds, so im sure this is at least lighter than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duarte Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Phwoar!! And for £460 that is a hellof a lot of bass! It may look like a womans bass, but man will it have a masculine sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
