danhkr Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Rare early USA made Musicman Sterling in trans red with gorgeous birdseye maple neck. I bought this on here from Apothem 3 years ago and it's a wonderful, wonderful bass with a stunning neck to play as well as look at. Sadly I need to thin down to just one bass eventually and sentimental value of something else means this can go at the right price. Condition is very good, some tarnishing of the nickel here and there and a few little superficial dinks on the body, but nothing drastic or through to the wood etc. The bass plays and sets-up great and the electrics (3-band actives) are all in perfect working order. This is an early Sterling, first or second year of production I think, so has the big bridge with the mutes (completely intact and functional) and of course a birdseye neck that I have not seen bettered! Comes with a hardcase (Fender black tolex style) which I assume is original because it fits the Sterling perfectly and is too small for a Precision or Jazz etc. Case has a few nicks here and there, but they're just the normal signs of use. NOW SOLD. Edited June 23, 2014 by danhkr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
