    Thanks lads for the welcome and pun assistance. Managed to sell that Sterling since this morning, a good BC day for me

    Sold. But my bargain Aria is not - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184671-aria-igb-68-hardcase-l195-price-drop/page__fromsearch__1 That'll be £175 tomorrow, also has to go

    I remember! Well at least it'll have a friend in its new house. Case yes too

    Others feel free to chip in, but in my experience they share the same thin neck profile, chuggy sound, same sorta electronic set-up and body construction - I believe US parts but constructed in Indonesia (?). If you were paying a grand more for a US Sterling I'm sure you'd notice a difference! Owning a Musicman made instrument - having that 3/1 headstock near my left hand - is pretty awesome. And Ed the Bass Whisperer likes it...

    Greetings rumblers, although I've joined the club immediately to sell some instruments I realise that I haven't introduced myself. How rude. My name's Joel, 22, have been playing since mid-teens, have just come out of playing with a indie-rock-ish uni band, and am now bassing with a Midlands based function band. Much Stevie Wonder n all that. In the beginning...there was a cheap AXL jazz bass copy. 'Merica' was the son of AXL, a weird but lovely thru-neck beasty, which was pretty. Ibanez SRX305 was the son of 'Merica', can't say I loved it Aria IGB-68 was the son of Ibanez, and had low action and was punchy - needs selling Sterling by Musicman SB14 was the son of Aria, shiny and chuggy And finally Warwick Corvette 5 was the son of Sterling, who growls at strangers. A shining star in the east hangs over a Fender US jazz (deluxe?) or Stingray somewhere I hope. Nice to meet y'all (p.s. This is me trying to prove that bass playing can even happen in Gatecrasher club, Brum) [attachment=116912:65716_471132506218_2819327_n.jpeg]

    Aria bass perhaps? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184671-aria-igb-68-hardcase-l195-price-drop/page__p__1784389__hl__aria%20igb__fromsearch__1#entry1784389

    Bump

    Well glad to hear that you're tempted at least. I've just been talking with 'Jennifer' who, it has transpired, is a dodgy spam robot who haunts Gumtree.com, your guys' feedback is a little more encouraging!

    Thanks a lot! I know, it sadly lacks that sought after name, but it's been a great little player. I paid £330 for it in about 2007
