SOLD - Musicman Sterling (USA) 90’s NAT/RW £895

[Quatschmacher]

This is a bit of a feeler. Due to a change in my family circumstances I’ll need to move house in the next few months and will need money for deposits and household stuff. This means having to sell a couple of instruments (including my Rhodes Stage 73).

This is a beautiful example of a Sterling. I struck lucky on this (I bought ten years ago from a store in the USA via eBay) as it’s a lovely, resonant thing with lovely grain.

 

Weight is 4.2kg

There are a few little marks from the previous owner - see pictures with the 5p coin.

There are two tiny cracks in the outer frame of the battery compartment which were there when I got it and have never worsened. They are just visible in the picture (one is by one of the screws).

The centre detentes aren’t as positive-feeling as on a new one but are still feelable.

Comes in the Road Runner hard case pictured.

Collection from Sheffield preferred or I can potentially travel (via train) to deliver. I’m fairly flexible about where I’ll travel to as I have friends in various parts of the UK I could visit and I can bring the bass along. I’m due a London and a Bath trip in the next month or so.

Currently strung with 50-105 Chromes but there’s a set of Fender 50-100 flats and some D’Addarrio rounds 50-105 (not sure if they are nickel or steel as they came with the bass) which I’ll include as they are cut for this bass.

I’d prefer collection or to hand it over personally. Changes at work mean that it’s a bit trickier for me to have stuff collected as there’s no porter in my building now.

You can always go to the Post office, but ok..

Depends where the nearest one is; they keep closing the damn things down.

Fantastic basses and so underrated - going by the serial number it would make it a 2001 model

Sold to the fine gentleman who is @Gardenerben, long may he love this bass.

I’m feeling a bit sad it’s gone TBH.

Just looked it up and you would appear to be correct. My mistake. Still sounds killer.
