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

I've always thought the single coil sound on the Sterling is a great additional tone.

and the neck profile is lovely,if you like the nut width

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

[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.

[quote name='birdy' post='186804' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:47 PM']Agree with this entirely. Very good packaging as well!

+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

[quote name='budget bassist' post='183194' date='Apr 22 2008, 09:09 PM']Really? must have been quick because i'm always looking at their for sale section.[/quote]

yes was quick, seller was bdgotoh, he was selling the Copperhead Bronze Sterling single H and a Desert Gold Sterling H at the same time,both had rosewood boards,the CB was sold within hours and the DG one not long after. I remember it as its the only Sterling I think I've ever seen in the bronze with the copper pickguard

a Sterling in this colour sold dead quick on the EBMM boards couple of months back. that one,an SR4 and maybe another 5 as well as yours are the only ones I've ever seen come up for sale

good luck with the sale!

and a hello from Kilmarnock

would love this but probably just the colour giving me GAS. already have an Albert Lee broadly similiar in spec. anyway your Silhouette is a beauty

would an Axis or Axis EX interest you?

btw,are we talking PRS EG4 ? - another fine (and rare) guitar!

cheers

[quote name='BassManKev' post='181152' date='Apr 20 2008, 05:17 PM']possibly my fender?[/quote]


thanks for the offer but P-basses are not my cup of char

cheers

Keir

all PMs replied to.

No Bongo players looking for something a whole lot shexier?

Keep them offers coming

thanks

Keir

Up for trade is this 2002 white sparkle Sterling with rosewood board and abalone scratchplate (also spare black one). pretty much flawless condition (apart from some scratches on the guard). No fretwear,or grime on the neck,been well babied. fairly low action,no issues whatsoever. I should also point out its also a lot more sparkly under lighting than these pics suggest.

When I got the bass it didnt have a MM case, It does now though and also I just bought the abalone plate a few weeks ago

been a few years since MusicMan offered the sparkle finishes (apart from the blue dawn LE07). If you're after one,you'll have a hard job finding one in better condition. I wanted one of these so bad for so long but now I've had it 6 months,been there,done that,fancy something new

you may have seen it on these boards before with a maple neck. that was off the CAR Sterling which I recently just traded with eubassix. this one pictured is the original neck

trade wise looking for a Bongo,Lakland DJ or 44-02,maybe a MIA S1 Jazz or Warwick,others considered too - soft spot for G&L in particular - cash either way depending on what you got.

In the unlikely event you want to trade a 5 string version of the above (apart from the fender - sry their Am.Std 5s have a rubbish B string) then I'd be more into that

may offer the Sterling up for sale if I dont get the any or the right trade offers

they're both very nice.

and I happen to like the burgandy mist colour on the Jazz. beats 3TS imo which is just sooo boring looking. all those fender colours were pretty cool like sonic blue,fiesta red,surf green, this one etc

My Godlyke Disciple 5 - hand made in Japan,satin finish ash body with SGC MM+J pups and 18v circuit. she arrived with me from Eubassix a couple of weeks ago. I've lowered the action a tad and its a peach of a player with a really nice and varied set of tones











next is the Spector Euro 5 - the best price v capability ratio bass I've yet come across. I may swap out the tonepump for a preamp with mid control at a later date but otherwise I'm really happy with this bass.

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='179263' date='Apr 17 2008, 08:55 PM']im no expert on the multitude of different basses however.... i got a sterling hs at xmas and im chuffed to bits with it.it has a 5 way switch and 3 band eq.you can dial in pretty much any tone you could wish for.the neck is nice and slim as the others have said but compared tonally to my jazz this things on steroids.
ive never played a stingray so ive nothing to offer there but the sterling hs does have a wonderfull voice.
heres a wee piccie,aint she cuuuuute.

thats lovely that is. nice looking bit of ash.

how are they wired,are both p/ups series or parallel?

cheers

sweet SR5 and the same goes for Dougal's Bongo 5 - looks like a swap if ever I saw it. good luck fellas

both basses have their attributes,and its not till you let either one go that you realise you actually need both a Bongo [u]and[/u] a SR5. thats how I feel about it anyway

Owen got my Spector 5 in part ex against his Bolin 5 last week. easy deal,he's an all round good egg is our Owen.

cheers!

Keir

if not black/maple then white/maple - both are great but for me olympic white/maple makes for a great looking Jazz bass just a teensy bit nore than the black.

wish I had the cash or the bass that you're after

she's a beauty!

just watched last nights repeat. loved the tone off the Yeasayer's bassisist's Asat fretless. the guy had a nice sense of space to his playing with some wicked little fills. the vocalist though seemed to lift a lot of his posturing and movement straight off Brandon Flowers, and anyway singers with beards are just not on

lovely SR5,would've been all over it if I hadnt just picked one up a couple of weeks ago

just thought I'd mention,the colour is actually blue pearl

good luck with the sale!

Keir

that is a hulluva lot of bass for £400. though if its like the R3/R4 sen ash guitars it'll prolly weigh a fair bit

damn I often type levinson blade in on ebay searches but not this past week.
