In addition to thinning the herd, I'm also going through a "try some basses" phase while I can afford to. So like some of the others, I tried this one and wasn't able to hang with it. I think what has happened over the years is that I have become accustomed to playing wide 5's and now when I play 4's feel more comfortable with P-bass widths.

I got this guy new over the past month and while it's an awesome bass, will not get near as much play as my p-bass width basses and 5 string.

- 2013 Musicman Sterling 4 lefty purchased from BC
- Straploks installed
- New WD brown tortoise pickguard installed (original black one is included)
- Rosewood fingerboard
- Original Musicman hard case
- New set of EB Slinkys installed

I'd like to get $1250 shipped within the US since it is so new and would like shipping to remain within the US.

Thanks for checking it out !

That is one sweet looking Sterling. Someone should snap this up. These have a different vibe then a Stingray. Les thump and more growl! The thinner neck is lightning fast and the playability of these basses is insane. I have a fretless Sterling and it has bet out every other fretless I have owned.

Thanks for the bump Crabby ! This is a great bass, just not for me these days. It's funny, growing up learning, I always wanted a Soundgear bass due to their incredibly thin necks at the nut and I would look at P-basses and think, "who the hell would play a neck that big ?!?!?!?" HA ! Here I am. I can't seem to adjust to anything smaller these days due to so many years on that damn wide spaced Modulus 5 !

Oh well, live, experience and learn. Someone grab this one !! It's nice !! Fretboard was oiled during the string change as well.

Super cool. Always wanted to try one of those.

Sterlings are the tits. I used to have fretless (which I ordered new) and it was sick, and also had a fretted one. For whatever strange reason I sold them both years ago, but have fond memories. I'm enjoying my SR5 greatly right now.

Sterlings are easily my favorite EB bass model. Mine was my #1 live bass for years (when I was playing out a LOT more). And no anemic G string either!

Bump. I hate to ebay this guy. I'd much rather it sell to someone here.

Would you consider shipping it to Europe? I would sell my children to get this..
