Alfie Noakes Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) My Musicman Sterling 4 string just doesn't suit the new band's sound, hence it's up for grabs. I would like to end up with a 4 string Fender Marcus Miller Jazz, or something very similar, and it must be with the natural ash look. Now for sale - £750.

Mr Fudge Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have a Marcus Miller im thinking of trading. Im only in West Brom. Might be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbee Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Always ready to appreciate a nice Sterling and that is [i]nice[/i]. How do you find the extra pickup affects or enhances the tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie Noakes Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Rowbee - It extends the bassiness on offer, big time. Trouble is, it's that tight punchy sound that I'm after, but can't quite dial in. I can't complain about the guitar; merely about my own fickle nature and ever changing preferences, and subsequent cost. Jigsaws in the next life, methinks. Jigsaws and a healthy bank balance = achievable Bass guitars and a healthy bank balance = impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame, it's still beautiful though and I'm sure it won't hang around long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Noakes Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 You can - it's a five way switch, but it still doesn't quite fit the overall sound (just a feeble excuse for a GAS attack, truth be told!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Noakes Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 .....or would consider a swap for a 4 string bolt on Warwick Dolphin...............or something Jazz-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbee Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I can't believe this is still around!! Have you considered selling it and then buying when what you're looking for comes along? If I didn't already have two Sterlings I'd be snapping this up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Noakes Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think that will be my next step, although I initially thought there may be some interesting swap deal to be done via this forum. Oh well, I'll give it a day, then hang a price on it - and thanks for the kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I used to own this bass and confirm that it is a corker - fantastic sound and was in mint condition when I sold on to Phil.
