**SOLD** Music Man Sterling Classic 4 Natural Gloss + Original Hard Case (Free Postage if Needed) £1075 Lichfield, Staffs

[Shepster8316]

Music Man Sterling Classic 4 in great condition complete with original Musc Man hard case........ Free Postage if needed (UPS Next Day.... not Hermes).  The body at the neck pocket is dated Apr 2011.  Lovely gloss ash body with a great grain and the neck is a great gloss 'birdseye' maple (see pics) and a rosewood neck.  Please excuse the reflections in the pics, but it's a nightmare to photo in bright sunlight.

 

For the weight fans..... it weighs in at 8lbs 14 oz or a smidge over 4kg.

 

Don't see many of these around for whatever reason but I believe it was discontinued, so no idea if it's even reasonably priced, although the last one I saw for sale (in here) was at a higher price. 

 

I've had this a while now but never used it really and never been used at a gig, but having said that I'm still in two minds about selling it.  I'm more of a passive Precision type these days so it seems a waste to have it sat there doing nothing when someone else could likely benefit from it.  It's had a nut replacement in the past to a bone nutn and ot long ago set up with Rotosound 100-40 Stainless Steel Rounds fitted. 

 

These are a bit different to the usual MM Sterlings in that it doesn't have the selector switch or control plate and is based more along the lines of 'old style' models being 2EQ with the controls being Vol-Treb-Bass but with no centre detents.

 

Maybe better off watching these reviews of it:

If brexit wasn't there, i would've bought this immediately... Great bass for a low price in my opinion.

[Quatschmacher]

Seriously tempting. Shame they got rid of the sculpted neck joint. (The joint has actually been incorporated into the latest Stingray design.)

[AndyTravis]

Damn. If it was maple…hmmm. Still.

[Old Horse Murphy]

That's gorgeous and a really great price too considering how infrequently these come up (which says something itself about how good they are).

With the stunning birdseye maple neck, mutes, 6 bolt neck plate, chrome battery cover and 2 band EQ, that looks like a Sterling Classic?   Rare as hens teeth and an amazing bass

Well, I did think you might last a week but ..

[Bunion]

@AndyTravis I think you need this in your life. 
 

I can buy it next month off you 🤣😂

[Bunion]

We really should get a “Bass library” going where we can sign them out for a week 

[Geek99]

I nominate myself as head librarian

Actually, I reckon 26 people could chip in £50 each. We buy a bass. Everyone has it for two weeks. After that we sell it, buy another and pass that round. Probably way less money than we all spend constantly churning gear.

less of a library and more of a Bass Club sounds like fun

You would have a lot more spare time if you gave up following @AndyTravis around Basschat 😂

Glad you got your sale - I’m sure the new owner will be very pleased
