casapete Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) After a lot of agonizing, have decided to it's time to move on my gorgeous Sterling. Taken me a long time to realise that I prefer Stingray/Precision type necks to the slimmer Sterling/Jazz ones, so am either looking for a straight sale or possibly a trade for a Stingray. Not too fussed over colour and fingerboard, though would like something that's in similar condition to mine and medium/light in weight. So, according to Aziah at Ernie Ball my Sterling "was born on November 2nd. 2000 in San Luis Obispo California". I am the second owner,having had it since approx 2004 if I remember correctly. Has always been looked after, and has n't been used for the last year or so due to me having an accident which stopped me playing for a while. Finish is Honey Sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard. It has a white pearloid scratchplate fitted,but I still have the original plain white one so you can have which one you prefer. Condition is immaculate-virtually unblemished apart from a tiny laquer mark (just near the output socket) which is barely noticeable. The neck is pristine, the headstock has a couple of tiny marks which again are hard to spot. Overall it is in fantastic condition,especially as it is coming up 9 years old. Original MM hardcase is included (with unused key!) - case is in excellent condition,as have used a flightcase a lot of the time. Think it will be hard to find a Sterling this age in better nick reall I am in East Yorkshire near Hull, but could help with delivery in Yorkshire/North if necessary. Would prefer not to post to ensure you are happy with it/arrives okay etc, but will discuss carriage if no other option. Cheers for looking.

Might not be your thing, but would you be intereseted in a trade with a Warwick Corvette $$? It's got two MEC made MusicMan pups each with a seies/parallel/single coil switch which takes you from Jazz Bass through to StingRay sounds and everywhere in between! More info on the Warwick site: [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=22016&cl=EN"]http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkt...22016&cl=EN[/url] My bass is in Nirvana Black, same as the pic on the Warwick site. Pics & details of condition available if you are interested. (This is a "proper" Warwick made in Germany not the Rockbass series)[/quote] Edited September 16, 2009 by lepromo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, it's not an excessive amount considering the retail price for one of these babies. I'm sure you'll get some offers soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
