[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='204534' date='May 22 2008, 08:30 PM']Steve is a friend of the forum. Knowing that he used to be pro EB, I'm guessing that has to irk Sterling some.[/quote] I'm sure theres a load more things irking Sterling Ball with Steve Barr than a commissioned Lakland bass. nice bass btw.

well played if its yours now Kev

cant see how this would fare any better on the EBMM boards....maybe a bit more interest on account of the blue dawn finish but 95% of the punters there are from the other side of the pond and would prolly only pay the same in dollars. you're better off keeping it here imo maybe trades or partial trades or pop it on gumtree/adtrader. its a nice bass,someone will buy it I'm sure

A guitar with an oil/wax maple fingerboard I have looked similiar but far more so than this JO. The chap who sold it to me had it refretted with jumbo frets by Feline guitars just before I got it.They either planed or sanded the board and then sealed it so it looked as good as new. excellent job they did too. not much help I know but surely better to play the JO religiously,wear the frets out and then have the above work done I;m sure lovely bass btw

had a few PMs on this the last couple of days - thanks for the offers but looks like she's spoken for

sent you a PM

not even a hello,straight in for the kill. nice bass btw,more so as yours doesn't have that horrible 2007 inlay

this is a really beautiful and classy looking bass. I already know they play and sound great I'm lovin the fine detail on this one. it deserves a good home

You really cannot go wrong.[/quote] [quote name='ped' post='186786' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:26 PM']Don't go without saying goodbye David!! And I hope you will keep Basschatting from Singapore? Just to echo Macko's comment earlier, business with Eubassix always goes down smooth. Without this man I would be bassless. ped[/quote] [quote name='birdy' post='186804' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:47 PM']Agree with this entirely. Very good packaging as well! Steve[/quote] +1 from me on all this. Dave's a great guy to deal with. had some good conflabs about all things bass on the blower with the fella when I got the Godlyke Disciple from him a few weeks back. helpful and accomodating chap. i wish you all the best with your move sir,will miss seeing your exotica up for sale here and ooh! thats my old CAR Sterling. awesome example, whoever gets it will love it!

I find this bit confusing [quote name='Adee' post='185041' date='Apr 25 2008, 08:12 AM']The common factor here is that everyone who has owned this bass, have Fender P-Basses and this Lakland is NOT a P-Bass anymore to my ears[/quote] but on the ebay listing it says "I'm offering a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub with Villex Pickup with 4 position mid switch and Villex rotary tone boost, really adds another dimension to the Precision sound while retaining the classic passive P bass tone as well" (key word here being "retaining") so which one is it?

nice price Wull. wish I had the readies for it

agreed,the Sterling is more organic and growly than a Bongo and more too than an SR5 . Bongo sound is more about the electronics,bigger and smoother. when I had a Bongo and Sterling at the same time,switching from the bongo to the sterling was like going from active to passive,like a lot of volume and tone dropped out. The Bongo sounds better but from experience I think the Sterling/SR5 is the better gigging bass
