Dubs Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) Isn’t it ironic that I spend 6 months GASing for something that I don’t end up getting on with. Oh the irony… Up for sale is my recently acquired MusicMan Sterling. As you can see from the picture it’s black with a 3 ply B/W/B pickguard and a rosewood fingerboard. It has a few minor dings and some very light surface scratches from playing as well as a small chip missing from the high gloss polyester finish where the original strap pins were replaced with Schaller strap-locks by the original owner. This looks a lot worse in the picture than it actually is, but I’m being as honest as possible about it as I’m not looking to rip anyone off – it’s actually pretty hard for anyone to see the chip when you have the bass on, and they’d have to be standing a meter away from you and looking for it. The bass comes with the original fitted SKB MusicMan hardcase that’s in good condition. Due to the slight blemishes, I’m asking for £600. I’m happy to post at the buyer’s expense and risk - postage within mainland UK will be £30 insured up to £750. I’m also open to trades.

Dubs Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Long shot, but trades for a maple necked Sterling?
Dubs Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Possibly interested in having a proper go with a 5 string so let me know what you’ve got…
Dubs Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Buy a new one on eBay for £1200 - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Music-Man-Sterling-Black-4-String-Bass-Guitar-Musicman_W0QQitemZ250361554129QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item250361554129&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Music-Man-Sterling-B...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url] - or buy mine for half the price BTW, the price isn't dropping from £600. If it doesn't sell on here at that price within a week or 2 then I'll put it on fleabay with a £600 start price...

[/quote] That’s the way I look at it really. I’ve got my number 1 that doesn’t go anywhere, so numbers 2 and 3 are usually tradable but as it happens number 3 is currently being built (and has been so for the last 5 months – I’ve been slack)... I’ve got a number 4 but it’s not worth mentioning because it’s retired [center]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] [size=3]I will consider almost anything of equal or less value (+cash) for trade on this – basically I don’t want to have to front any money for any potential trade deal.[/size] Edited March 13, 2009 by benwhiteuk
