EBMM Sterling 5 H, Blue Pearl

Selta · #1 09-10-2011, 03:01 PM

Let me preface this by saying that I am currently not looking for trades at all. I'm pretty set on gear. Also, price listed is "firm" - feel free to send (reasonable) offers, but I believe my price is fair.

Price: $925 + shipping. SOLD!

Now onto the goodies... what we have is an EBMM Sterling 5 H in Blue Pearl, with a Black Pearloid pickguard. This bass was born on 7/22/08. I would rate this as Very Good + condition. Looking over it, I see one pencil-tip sized ding on the back, and the neck plate has some minor scratching on it as well. When I get a bit better lighting I will take pictures of these to show. Other than those, I cannot find any scratches, scuffs, dings or dents.
Comes with black Dunlop Strap Locks.
I also recently re-strung it with EBMM Regular Slinky 5 strings, and may have put a total of 2 hours on this bass since I did that (blue strings in pictures are not included).
This bass currently has Space Invader themed stickers over the inlays, as you will be able to see in the pictures. These can be removed prior to shipping if you'd like.
It also comes with the original EBMM HSC, which is also in Very Good + condition.
This bass has served me very well, and the only reason for selling is because I'm in a somewhat difficult position in life with other hobbies taking a bigger part of my time and money. With my Bongo and Sterling 5 HH, I feel that this one is the most redundant and least used of the three.

If this doesn't sell by the end of the month, I'll just be keeping it, and will gladly do so.

If you'd like any other pictures or information, just let me know!

Is shipping to Russia by USPS possible?

Selta · #10 09-14-2011, 09:00 AM

I've honestly never shipped to Russia, but I'm very open to the idea. All international buyers are welcome, just need to bear with me while I figure it out

Russia's not that bad. I've shipped there twice. Once I had to take the neck off, the other time I did not. Cost between 80-100 bucks. Once it's out of the U.S. you no longer have responsibility over it making it there though because the Russian Postal Service has the right to deny any package from being delivered.

DO NOT PACK WITH NEWSPAPER. They won't let it in.

To the top with this!

Ray, I've never played a Sterling. Hear the neck is slightly different than a Stingray. How do they compare? String spacing the same?

Strohsx · #17 09-23-2011, 01:38 PM

Where did you get those lovely stickers?

NVM found them.

Selta · #18 09-23-2011, 07:55 PM

I honestly don't know the exact differences, Atomic. I haven't played a Stingray in ages - once I found that I preferred the Sterling profile, I stuck with it. String spacing is indeed the same - 17.5mm.

Got the stickers at inlaystickers.com.
