My New (to me) Sterling is here

HAHA. I didn't really like the plain black. Probably gonna order an Abalone one.

It's here
My 1994 Sterling.


Here are pics of the packaging, which was very well done. Thanks Joel.

And here are pics of the bass itself:

That was downright erotic.

That was downright erotic.

I like the outdoor shots better.

Thanks Joel. Got that in the EB forum after I asked here. Still want to know the exact DOB for this thing.

That does look nice. Anybody know how much PGs are from EB direct?

If this may help, here's the reply to when I asked about a pick guard a few months ago

You can order it from your local Music Man dealer, any store who sells Ernie Ball products, or you may buy it direct with a credit card.

For part numbers or pricing, please give us a call or email detailing specifically which pickguard you want, and for which instrument. The pickguards are subject to availability.

So I guess $ depends on which color you want,

Good luck, and the bass is gorgeous btw !

the closest you will get for a birthdate is the date on the neck. It was written in pencil i think. 4-12-1994? sometime right after that.

 

[saxnbass]

Yep, got the same thing. Emailed them back. It's $20 for black and white and $55 for the other ones. Then plus shipping of course.

I had a 92 in the color scheme that I sold to a TB'er a couple years ago. My drummer called it "the bitch" because it was so aggressive sounding. I was not man enough for that tone monster! Incredible neck.
