    This is an excellent example of a 90s Sterling. Really good shape for an 18 year old bass. A few tiny dings and chips but overall in good condition. Beautiful limited edition Autumnburst finish, light weight, and it sounds great. Case is not the EBMM original but will protect it well enough for shipping.

    Freshly set up with a set of DR Dragon Skins and it plays really nicely. Comes with all the original goodies (manual, tools, polishing cloth). Hipshot BT-1 detuner also available for an additional $50.

    $900 USD shipped in Canada or the US. For trades I would be interested in a Fender Mustang (CIJ preferred), P basses with 1.625" or 1.5" nut width. Others may be considered but I am not really looking for another bass at the moment.

    I have a '95, and these are fantastic basses. Mine has been bulletproof since day 1, and the 3-position pickup switch (serial, single-coil, parallel) gives this a leg up on any comparable bass. Also, I love the inset neck plate on these early Sterlings - a nice, elegant touch. GLWTS.

    I have a '95 fretless Sterling. Nice bass, but I wish it was as light as yours! Great electronics on these things.

    Man, if the Canadian dollar wasn't so bad right now I'd be on this. Really good deal on a great bass.
