Brand-Spanking-New EBMM Stealth Sterling-5 HH Up For Grabs!

Sign in to disble this ad
I purchased this EBMM Stealth Sterling-5 HH last August and while I really dig this bass for its sexy looks, excellent playability, and KILLER sound, I just can't put my 'berger XM2 down lately. Too much bass here to to be left hanging on the wall.

I probably clocked an hour of noodling on her. This bass and OHSC are FLAWLESS. Not a ding, scratch, or blem can be found on either. You are basically purchasing a brand new bass here. I will say, it could use a little fine tuning...string height and what-not...I just haven't gotten around to it.

I paid $1700 two months ago @ Bass Central. Priced drastically dropped to move quickly @ only $xxxx shipped to the lower 48. PayPal welcomed!

The only bass that's been on my radar lately is a Steinberger XM2 (+ cash to me...negotiable). Had one throughout the 90's and just recently grabbed another and realized why I loved my original so much.

Oh, I could also be swayed into a Jet-Glo, Azure-Glo, or Midnite Blue Ricky 4003 or 4004 Laredo.

Other than that, I'd like to sell her.

What does "BRAND new" mean, exactly?

I bought it brand new last August from Bass Central. Played it for about a half an hour and hung it on the wall. It needs some adjustments (mainly string height) and I've not gotten around to make them.

It was never on display down @ Bass Central, so basically, my hands were the first to touch it from the factory. I've been meaning to get to the adjustments, but schedule and my XM2 have distracted me.

It was more of a general question. Like... what's "BRAND"? What's it have to do with being new or not? Can something be "Brand Used"?

Awesome basses sonically and visually. Sterling 5's are just too cool.

If they slammed an ebony fretboard on it, it would be a black hole!
It makes your eyes pop out of their sockets

Sweet bass!

All PMs answered. Still available. I'm a motivated seller, but not THAT motivated. All reasonable offers will be considered, so send'em my way.
