warwickhunt Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Can't imagine you'd find one much cheaper used 2nd hand!

budget bassist Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) That would be the new "sterling my musicman" line. It's not a USA musicman, it's their new line that's been outsourced to korea or something. Basically the replacement for OLP but more on par with the SUB basses. Apparently they're meant to be very nice basses, but i wouldn't pay that much for something made in korea. Also that's the stingray model Edited May 15, 2009 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) That's most certainly not a real MM! Pretty sure they have mm electronics and pups, but it's definitely one of their new outsourced lines, 100%. The logo on the headstock and neck plate is a dead giveaway. Although i don't think the seller was trying to fool anyone, just didn't provide a great description of the company, i can see why it may confuse some people. Don't get me wrong though, they're meant to be good.

There must be some sort of a prize for naming a product the "Sterling by Musicman Ray 34" and Sterling by Ernie has just won it. FFS, he's already got a bass named after him, now it's a whole range of Korean tributes. Edited May 16, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Yep - that's the new Sterling by Musicman range, not a "proper" Made in US Musicman. I think that price is about right for a new one The seller is, I think, Cookes Band Instruments in Norwich. If its the same Cookes, they're a good reputable store, and have been around for years. They tend to have some nice stock whenever I'm down there. Edited May 16, 2009 by simon1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
