Sterling SB 14 Body With US Musicman Neck £580 £700 Lancaster

[ash]

This is a Sterling SB14 body with a maple USA EBMM Sterling neck. I bought the neck from eBay and the SB14 from this site. I was looking for a candy apple red bass with a maple board neck but couldn’t find one so I built my own! This has been my main gigging bass for a few years but owing to fretting hand issues I’m now selling my long scale basses. I’ll regret this as I’ve invested quite a bit of gigging life into this one but it’s now gathering dust. 

The bass has Hipshot tuners and a drop D tuner fitted. The active electronics sound as good to me as my full fat US Sterling bass. It’s light at 3.9kgs and plays really well. There is a scratch at the top edge of the neck near the fretboard -  I thought it was a hairline crack but my luthier said it was nothing to worry about. See fifth picture. 

It comes with the installed Armstrong black scratchplate and the original white one.

There is a Sterling gigbag included. I’d swap for a JMJ Mustang and put some money in. Or a black and maple MiM Mustang PJ or Sterling Stingray Short Scale and you can put some money in.

I’d prefer pickup but can post at buyer’s cost UK only.
