Made in USA Musicman Sterling - Honeyburst - *SOLD* £975 Groeslon, Gwynedd

[emyrarall]

Up for sale now is my very rare Music Man Sterling bass.
Not to be confused with the more entry level Far Eastern guitars with a similar name, this is the proper full fat Made in the USA EBMM Musicman Sterling.

Whilst it doesn't come up as Honeyburst in the Musicman listing. It's exactly the same finish as my 5 string MM which is listed as Honeyburst.
While the Stingray is the more common version played by many famous players, the Sterling I believe is a more versatile bass. The main differences is that the Stingray has an alnico pickup and more Precision sized neck whereas this one has the ceramic pickup which is capable of being more aggressive with more options due to the 3 way switch which allows you to select between series, single coil & parallel wiring options. This gives the bass that characteristic Musicman growl and colour. The neck is slimmer, similar to a Jazz bass and the body is smaller as well. This makes a big difference in long, live sets when the weight of a heavy bass can be really tiring. It also features a 3-band active EQ with bass, mid & treble and volume control. 

I've tried to illustrate any dinks in the photos and also some light damage to the back of the Musicman case.
Overall it's a beautiful instrument in very good condition. Welcome to try it by prior arrangement.

I've gone to 5 string now and can't afford to leave this lying around not being played. Would prefer a pick up but I will post TO THE UK ONLY at your expense.
