FS Feeler: EBMM Sterling 5 H

Selta · #1 01-04-2011, 11:53 AM

Edit: Sold via TB, thanks all.

This is just a feeler to see if I can get this thing sold and not lose a lot on it. I'm going to be moving in late January/early February and selling this would just make it that much easier. By no means do I "have" to sell, so don't bother low-balling.
First, here's a link to one really bad picture of it. I'll get more up later today / tonight:

It's a Pearl Red Metallic Sterling 5, with maple fretboard. Strings on it are currently older / mostly dead, so I can either send it as-is, or buy (at your cost...) strings and put on it if you'd like. As-is I'm looking for $1050 for this bass. I paid $1250 for it, and factor in that the strings are dead I'll eat the $200 difference :P. Only trade I'd even consider would be for a Sterling 5 HH, but even that I'd likely shoot down since I'm only selling to help with the move.

Overall I'd call this one very, very clean. I can't find any scratches/dings on it, actually. The hardware can use a slight cleanup, which again, if you want I can even do that before shipping. Does *not* have strap locks on it.

It'll come with the original HSC, which is beat up a bit I'm afraid. The battery in it is new. Everything works well on it, and it does sound pretty killer, I just don't need two of mostly exactly the same bass, and like I said, it'd help with the move if I got most of my "investment" into this back.

That's a sexy bass, if only you were interested in trades!

Yeah, sorrry, no trades at all. If this doesn't sell before I move, I will GLADLY hang on to it. Just trying to make this move be of less financial impact to me.
With that said, I am taking reasonable offers if you think my asking price is too high.

My sterling 5 HS is the best playing bass ever, I assume this one is the same. Whoever is looking for a sweet bass, look no further!

Price Drop bump (disregard previous post if you saw it :P)

Er: this is on eBay as well (no link, rules are rules), with one bid (no reserve), so it looks like it'll sell there. If you want the link, PM me and I'll hook you up.

Bump up again. Still time on eBay. Willing to end auction early if someone here wants it.
