peteb Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I’ve decided to move my Musicman Stirling 4 string on – I’m just looking for what I paid for it, £620 (and I thought that I got it for a rather good price)! Looks great (been gigged so a couple of very minor dings), plays well, always been well admired by other players – just generally a very nice bass! Please see pix below Cheers – Pete Edited May 28, 2009 by peteb
Quatschmacher Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Hi, it's spelled "St[u]e[/u]rling" not "St[u]i[/u]rling". I thought I'd point it out, not to be pedantic, but so that you can amend your title so that anyone searching for one will find it easier. These are great basses - I play one.
Rowbee Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yep, great basses and a great price. I always though the teal (is that the colour) ones were especially nice looking.
peteb Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Titled of thread slightly amended – many thanks to a couple of observant posters!

horribleman Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ah bugger. I'd have liked to come and take a look but you're 3.5 hrs away in the car
MacDaddy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 must be the season for it , there's a whole spate of bargains in Bradford at the moment.
peteb Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 Saturday morning bump! Need to sell if I'm going to be able to fund a purchase from a gentleman from the north east!

warwickhunt Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Come on people, get this man's bargain bass bought. What? Vested interest... me!
Rowbee Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 If it was an HH or HS model I'd be on my way to Bradford right now but I already have two like this one. That doesn't detract from the fact that this is still a beautiful instrument, well worth the asking price and is still capable of giving me GAS! Having seen teal EB instruments before, I can guarantee that these photos do not do the colour justice at all. Buy it people!
peteb Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Bank Holiday Bump (Warwickhunt can’t be expected to hold his Lakland forever)...! Some eagle eyed chap PM'd me saying that the action wasn't as low as they would prefer and asking about how the truss rod worked, etc As a result I have now put on a new set of strings and adjusted the neck relief, action and intonation and can safely say that the truss rod operates perfectly and the bass now has a very low action (which of course won’t be to everyone’s taste but can be adjusted easily enough) Edited May 3, 2009 by peteb
