Musicman Sterling - *SOLD* £1000 Manchester

[AndyTravis]

 

Just got this - but sat down and had a think, this will overpower the band.

 

I’m realising that the Ripper just does what my band does.

 

ive also just bought back my old Casady - with a view to getting a fretless version when they arrive so, this will just sit around looking ace.

 

its a 1999 - no hard case, but Warwick bag.

 

it came with 2 pickguards. The black one is better…

 

it’s got some knocks…it’s well played.

 

it plays better than any other musicman I’ve had though - I will say that.

 

The blue pearl has a greenish hue now - more like an ocean turquoise…or teal.

 

brand new 40-100 Ernie Ball “hyper Slinkies”

 

i can ship - would rather have collected.

 

Love it - but I’ve got to keep basses and costs down.

 

so Offers around £1000 I’ve got in the bass.

 

i can offer PayPal invoicing for splitting the cost. I’d have to factor in costs/fees for this.

A very solid little bass…does balance really well on a strap though.

 

👍🏼

My Sterling is probably the same weight and I'd have to agree that i dont notice the weight. I find it a very comfortable bass to play for long gigs.

 

I have an Xtender on mine and it still balances very well.

 

In fact I'd much rather have a heavier bass that balances well than fighting with a lightweight, neck heavy bass.

Mr Postman has just been with Musicman Strap Buttons too - it came to me with Schaller buttons on which are pretty useless without the lock parts.
