    Hmmm good point; I actually have a 2nd Sterling and I had the other Sterling up for sale before deciding to sell this one. However... I'd sell this one for the same price as the other, so effectively this is now £800!

    Still here.

    Low-ball is the way to go but you need to develop the ability to walk away if they don't accept... and do it in person with a face that means it! Good luck!

    I think the value has pretty much been covered (£1000 - £1500). As to the bass you've described; [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]In 88 there was no CS as such it was a case of customer options were accommodated at the factory and that included 12/24th fret inlays saying 'Custom made for...'. The body wood bubinga is standard and the earlier basses often had very nice figuring on the woods (more marked in the early SSII basses but often on Thumbs; oddly enough the 90's was a better decade for the figuring of maple on SSI basses). The LEDs would have been an extra cost option (if they are original)[/color][/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif], Pups could be one of at least 5 manufacturers and Bartolini is one of them. The slimmer neck profile is a feature of these earlier basses and many seek out early basses due to this, one thing often overlooked is that the edge of the fingerboard radius is generally very smooth and makes these a pleasure to play. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There will be folks who want green LEDs and Bartolini pups and may well pay a premium as a result. However, despite the new price being mahoosive, you'd only get £2k if you were lucky to snag a specific buyer looking for these options.[/font][/color]

    I've played this neck/bass and it is a cracker, added to which Mick is a straight up bloke and you'd have no issues dealing with him. Just out of interest what is happening with the body... another project bass?

    [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1380369311' post='2224360'] ... In fact I think I'm old enough to be their grandad [/quote] You're old enough to be 'everyone's' Grandad Howie! Oh and welcome from a fellow Northumbrian but I am from the fleshpots of Blyth rather than out in the sticks! ...and the correct answer to 'how many basses' is in fact; one more than you presently own!

    [quote name='drewm' timestamp='1380303998' post='2223627'] This bass makes me ache a little bit inside. [/quote] If it helps someone may well take the temptation away from you soon!

    [quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1380303458' post='2223611'] back in the uk. er.... your post really [u]really[/u] changes things. I'm a massive AIC fan.... [/quote] Really... but it is just the same colour not the same bass.

    £1099 down to £500 (or less) that is some discount!

    Thanks for the comments.
  12. warwickhunt
    ...and I agree with Lozz, Chris and xgsjx!

    Don't get me wrong, quite the opposite; I love that mix... my Dolphin is as whacky as I get!

    Buzzard... Stryker... Vampyre... not my kind of thing. Was the Pro I the 89 model off the 'W' forum?

    Your OW is lush (and light) but it'd end up being another that I'd have to sell on Rob!
  17. warwickhunt
    Still available!
  18. warwickhunt
    No stains, just wood selections but I agree the maple through the dark red body woods are nice.

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Yep it is back on the block! [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color]

    The rear of the SSII, yes?
  21. warwickhunt
    Mr K West... sorry, overshadowed by your 'backing singer' and your vocal part had nothing of merit (IMHO but that is all that counts in my world)!
  22. warwickhunt
    If the system will fit into a Warwick Streamer I'll take it but I'll need to check that the boards mounted on the pots will fit into the cavity (depth) and that the shafts are the correct diameter to fit the holes drilled in the body. Speak soon.

    The Thunderfunk owners club are never going to win this!

    [quote name='Tandro' timestamp='1379422861' post='2212465'] Oh John, if only I knew you had this in the stable, things might have gone so differently last time...yet another bass in your possession that I 'have' to have (that and your Infinette) In fact, one of the main reasons I joined BC, yet all these years its alluded me. Mental torture I tell you... [/quote] I hadn't realised when you bought my JD Thumb how much my house downsize would affect my little collection and mean that I'd need to sell the SSI, SSII and 'possibly' even my Infinette (though that is a last resort and it'd be serious money to persuade me to sell it)!

    Cheers Steve.
