martthebass Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 They seem to have been around the £600-650 mark for good condition EB Ray4 for a while now unless I'm missing something. Don't think there are many takers for the bay stuff on BIN £900+ or suchlike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 The Sterlings are awesome instruments. Tried out the Ray35 and the SB14 a couple of weeks back. Tonally, they're indistinguishable from the "real thing", and the feel is exactly the same. The SB14 actually sounded quite a bit better than an actual MM Sterling that was hanging on the wall next to it! Give it a few months, and the Sterlings will be hitting the used market for £400 or so. Then you'll have a real bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) i'd still rather spend the £250 more for a used SR4 2 band but the SBM basses will be awesome for someone who wants a 2nd ray or is stuck in that middle gap. also is it me or does anyone else not like the new MM pickup shape?
