Greetings all,
I need to fund and justify my latest purchases from 2 members here..a P-bass from BBL and a G&L LB-100 from Bigevilrobot... for every 2 basses acquired, at least 1 has to go to the chopping block!
MM Sterling Honey sunburst, Maple neck, serial number L02228. Asking $950 firm with original case ,plus shipping to CONUS.
Best Regards

Some damage to the hard case, smaller than a golf ball.

Always been curious about these. Isn't the neck with supposed to be narrower than a Stingray? And the electronics seem to be a 4 string version of the SR5.

You are correct, Mister. Jazz-width neck. The ones I've had had a rounded neck profile, meaty but still very comfortable -- like a thinner baseball bat. I had three of these back in the day, and remember them fondly.

The playing position is just a bit different than a Fender because the upper neck is a bit shorter, but still within comfortable specs. The bodies feel small. But still, don't get me wrong, they are joy to play. The electronics are indeed similar to an SR5: parallel, series, and single coil (outer coil) with dummy load to prevent humming.

I love these things and I'm incredibly tempted, but sadly I'm on a minimalist stage (as in frugal) and don't want to spend any money . . . :shock:

You pretty much nailed it..neck very comfortable and narrower compared to the SR, many different settings and tone possibilities with the 3 band eq active pre amp.
