Louise Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Music Man Sterling 5 string bass guitar - This is a top of the range bass made in California, USA, it is NOT a "Sterling by Music man" (the cheaper range). It is a lighter weight slimmer necked sister to the Stingray (weighs less than 10lb) so is great if you have a bad back or are a girl like me! There are not many of these out there for sale in the UK. It has a great sound and great action - very easy playability with the slim narrower neck - great for small hands! This guitar is in a gorgeous egyptian smoke pearl finish with optional matching headstock, is in good condition with a few very small imperfections as shown in the photos. It comes with a music man case which is good working order although has a lot of scrapes on it. See here for specs https://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling-5 3EQ , Ash Body, Select Maple Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, Schaller BM Tuners, Music Man Humbucker w/ceramic magnets and hum cancelling phantom coil Pickup 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E sharp Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It’s long gone. I messaged last year, and was long gone even then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Indeed. It was eventually put up for commission sale (I think) at The Bass Gallery and sold shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
