You're welcome, glad to help! I bought mine because it came in an old Peavey chainsaw case that I needed for a Foundation. The bass was trashed and was kinda an afterthought, but once I cleaned it up and got it playable I was surprised how good it sounded. Definitely has a unique tone. Bright...

Looks just like the Cortley bass I rescued. They were imported under other names as well in the late 70s. A lot of info at this site. https://cortleyguitars.tripod.com/Catalog1P6.html

That was my experience as well. New strings made a world of difference. Whatever generic strings ship on those are bloody awful.

Hard to find an EBMM Sterling to try out locally. SB4 was a fairly inexpensive way to see if I liked the shape. Didn't expect much, but exceeded my expectations. Could care less what the company names things. I care more about playing bass.

I have the cobra blue SB4. - Volume/Treble/Bass - 1.5" at the nut. Plays and sounds great. Hot preamp.

The Sterling is the Stingrays more reserved little brother. They sound similar, but It's a little easier to tame the high end on a Sterling. There are several good comparisons on YouTube.

It came from Musician Friend. Mine is approx. 8.5 pounds.

Ordered this Christmas Eve when it was the stupid deal of the day for $269.99. Been looking for a MM Sterling for quite a while. Drove an hour and a half about a year ago to buy one that I could actually play first. Talked to one guy at the shop before I left and the other salesman sold it...

I have have theLink Removed. Depends on what they are asking. Found mine at Goodwill for around $150 USD, but I don't think they go for more than $250-$300 in good condition. The neck is wonderful and I think it sounds good with the stock pickups. It's a solid bass. I have a Yamaha 734a and a...

Have a USA made WT-405 that I love, but after dropping almost $200 getting it repaired only to fail again 2 months later I'm done. Played a ton of gigs with it over the years and it's hard to part with, but finally realized it's time to move on. Took a while to find something that pleased my...

I thought so too. Been looking for one of the 15" extension cabs since I bought it, but they are hard to find in these parts. Fell pretty confident that's about all I would ever need to cover most live situations. The combo alone has been plenty with a loud drummer and guitar in a smaller room.

I've had both. Picked up a Contour 210 from Marketplace on a whim for $200. The Fender is gone and I won't be parting with the Contour. It can get surprisingly loud.

Hi there, was just looking back at this post for some info and noticed a new comment. It does have a tight spacing for sure and takes some getting used to. I have been working on this thing for a while, trying different pickups and strings. Finally settled on an EMG MJ set with the passive tone...

Pick this '83 up in a pawn shop in '93. Bright hair metal pink, but sounded great. Especially for $150 with a hard shell case. My first decent, and only bass for many years.
