funkle Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Good afternoon all I bought this bass recently and love it. It's a peach. For the 'Musicman' tones it is perfect; the HH layout and switching gives a lot of variety as well. It's a pretty rare model this side of the pond. However, one of my dream basses came up for sale, and unfortunately I need to sell this one to fund the other. Soo.... Details: Year of manufacture 2009 Country of manufacture USA Black Ash Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood fingerboard Compensated nut HH pickup layout, 3-band EQ 5-way selector switch (see image below) Weight 4.5kgs/9.9lbs 2 scratch plates – the original white/black/white one plus an aftermarket black/white/black one Complete with original MM hard shell case The bass is in excellent condition, frets are not worn, neck is straight. I have detailed as best as I can any minor issues I can find: The scratch plates have a some scratches on them There’s a very small dink on the back bottom edge of the body near to the jack socket There are a couple of marks on the headstock (doesn't show up in the photos though!) There are a couple of tiny indentations above the scratchplate on the top of the body The case has lots of surface scratches on it (no cracks or smashed corners etc) but is clean inside Price: Now £875 + shipping. Happy to ship anywhere! (Context - new Sterling 4HH will run you £2k plus, depending on finish/pickups etc. It's tricky to find used 4HH models this side of the pond as well...) Pete Pics: (NB: that is not a ding near the volume knob, it's my watch reflecting in the excellent black finish of the bass....) Edited March 18, 2020 by funkle Price drop, again! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Braun Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Great basses these, I've got a 1994 4H and it's by far the best all-rounder I've ever owned, especially now I'm getting older and the back isn't what it was! This is a very good price for a 4HH. Good luck with the sale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
