FS: EBMM MIA Sterling SUB

backtobass · #1 05-05-2013, 07:26 AM

SOLD!!!

PRICE DROP!!! NOW $450 SHIPPED CONUS

This is a cool all black Sterling I got from another TB'er. It a great bass and I love the neck, but I can't get over the slab body (hit my forearm). This is not to be confused with cheap foreign made basses, these were the SUB basses made in the USA for only a few years in the mid 2000's. It's slightly different from the normal Sterling in that it has a slab body, matte body paint, a painted neck, and does not have the 3 way switch. It has fresh strings, a fresh set-up, active electronics with a fresh battery, and I can also include a strap and a non-original hard shell case (a plastic shell SKB type/ beat up but the inside is in good shape). The there is a sticker on the pickguard which I can remove if you like. It is not the original pickguard and I don't have the original. Feel free to ask me any questions.

$450 including shipping CONUS

I was having a hard time uploading photos so here is a photobucket link.

These are killer basses! I've had a few and they sound and play as good as any Musicman out there.
GLWTS!

I know! I love it, but Photobucket + iPad =

For me, at least!

GLWTS! Some day people will realize just how awesome these are and they'll never part with them...

They are awesome and a good buy . . . which is why I bought it. I like it so much that I actually thought of sculpting the body to make it more comfortable. Then I realized a few seconds later that it was not cost effective and ridiculous.

Jaymi · #8 05-07-2013, 12:12 PM

I have some ideas

Sparkdog · #9 05-10-2013, 03:19 PM

So does this bass have no rounding at all on the body? Can't tell from the pics.

Weight?

Sent you a PM.

Thanks.

No rounding as far as arm cut or waist cut. I will bathroom scale it tomorrow.

Did you get a chance to scale for weight?

backtobass · #13 05-11-2013, 02:16 PM

Sorry, busy morning. Just checked, 9.8 lbs. on a bathroom scale.

What's the nut width?

backtobass · #15 05-11-2013, 06:26 PM

The nut width is 1.5"

verycoolname · #16 05-11-2013, 07:57 PM

Okay, thank you for the response.

And is the painted neck a matte finish too (like satin even) or gloss? Doesn't make that big of difference, just curious.

backtobass · #17 05-11-2013, 10:00 PM

Its more like a gloss. I think there's some pics of it on the photo bucket gallery..

verycoolname · #18 05-12-2013, 06:12 AM

Alright, I'll go check all of them out.

Thanks again for the quick responses to my questions.

backtobass · #19 05-12-2013, 06:33 AM

No problem, any time. And if those pics aren't good enough ask and I'll take more. And everyone, please note that the Hipshot X-tender is no longer on the bass. That was part of the reason for the price drop.
