Two EBMMs: Sterling 5H (pearl blue, inlay stickers) / Bongo 5 HH BFR roasted neck

[Selta]

It's time that I look at the basses I have, and evaluate the ones I play and don't play. It seems that my Sterling 5 HH and Bongo 6 HS get the most play time. So, with that, I'm going to sell half of my balls.

Prices (shipped):
Bongo 5 HH BFR: $1550 OBOSOLD!
Sterling 5 H : $1050SOLD!
I'd rather avoid PayPal fees on this, but if it's a "must", let me know and we'll work it out.

No trades.

Both basses have inlay stickers on them. The Bongo bass has the kittie + paws stickers on them. The Sterling has Space Invaders on it. These are removeable and have zero impact on the fretboard when on, or when removed (I've used these on a few basses and guitars). If you want these removed prior to shipping, just let me know and I will definitely do that.

Both basses will come with the OHSC from EBMM. Both OHSCs are in excellent + condition - if anything, they have minor scratches on the outside. Inside, latches etc. are all in perfect condition.

First sold bass will come with one extra, unopened set of EBMM 5 string slinkies. I kindly request that if you know you will not use these, let me know so I can keep them instead .

The Bongo will come with the signed Certificate of Authenticity since it is a Ball Family Reserve.

Disclosures:
The Bongo does have the "Bongo Ding" on the headstock. I tried to take a picture of it for you. Otherwise, the pickguard has swirling on it, and the cavity cover on the back has two tiny scuffs on it. I cannot find any other imperfections.

The Sterling has a nick about the size of a pencil tip on the back of the body. It's an impression in the paint. I could not get this to photograph at all though (terrible lighting where I am). Otherwise it is in great shape, with minor swirling on the pickguard, and a small scratch on the neck plate.

More pics here!


Note: Both basses have newer strings than are on the pictures. The Bongo has about 10 hours on it's strings, the Sterling has 15. All of the Bongo pictures do not include the Kittie inlays either. Condition in the pictures IS identical to how they are now.

Any questions, of course just hit me up and let me know.

Bump to the top. Not looking for trades right now, unless it's obscenely slanted in my favor.

Bump for my buddy Ray. He loves his balls!

[Selta]

Thanks buddy! To the top.

All PMs replied to. Some bites on the Bongo.

[Selta]

To the top. Going to take new pics tonight of both.

[AtomicPunk]

Does the Bongo have an Ebony board?

[Selta]

Bongo is now on hold pending payment!

Have some interest in the Sterling, but not enough to put it on hold just yet. So, to the top this goes!

[Selta]

To the top. Still not entertaining trades, especially since I'll likely need the money to fix my car after having a tree fall on it (see thread in OT).

[Selta]

Bump.

[Selta]

PMs replied to. Nothing solid, so bump to the top. Accepting reasonable offers on the Sterling.

[Selta]

Final bump. I have an offer on the table on the Sterling. Unless someone else comes up with one that's more in line with what I'm asking, I'll just sell it to them tomorrow AM.

payment sent...thanks!
