I have sold a bass to @Samuello. He has been a super nice guy to deal with. Very easy communication, instant payment : highly recommended !

All Specials are not superlight and have neck dive. Mine was 4,1 Kg / 9lbs and it was well balanced.

I have not been able to compare the basses side by side. The standard was long gone when I bought the Special. The Special is 0,5 Kg lighter. Both are good basses, the Special may have an edge on all positions of the switch being good.

@Duarte I have had a Sterling 5 in HS. Good bass but the volume drop on the single coil neck pickup (position 5) was not convenient. The HH has all positions with the same output. The HH Ray (Standard or Special) is very nice as well, but the Sterling with the series routing adds extra bief to the sound.

Here is a shot of my 87 Sabre and Sterling HH. They are different in looks and tone !

Great looking bass and the pictures are beautiful.

Ah that question ! And I have a single H Ray to compare it to. The Special still has flatwounds from the previous owner and the single H is not a Special. So my comparison may not be objective...

Bought a bass fom Youlian. The bass was exactly as described, all clean and with fresh strings. The packing was good, shipment was quick and communication was easy. A recommended seller !
