Bought this new 3 months ago, no issues, very clean. I've owned several US made Sterlings and this definitely feels, sounds, and looks well made like they are. I love it but I need to fund some other equipment purchases. Black with black pickguard. Sterling by Music Man Gig Bag Included - plush inside, pocket outside. Aside from pick swirls it's really clean. Trades I'd consider would include an Ampeg preamp, Tech 21 VT Bass, Tech 21 Sansamp RBI, or Aguilar Tone Hammer. Paypal is cool.
Asking $475 shipped to the lower 48, UPS ground insured. mark@northpittsburghmusic.com

This heavy duty bridge uses thick large saddles for precise adjustments and stability. Precise slotting on each saddle guarantees no sideways movement on the strings during heavy playing.
SB series bass pickups utilize a 3rd hidden coil for hum cancellation. Switch to single coil or humbucking mode and get all the tonal goodness without the hum and noise.
