Hey, a little good luck came my way!

[bovinehost]

Man, you're certainly hoovering up all the good lefty basses.

What everyone else said - nice score!

It's all part of my evil master plan!

I'm going to buy up all the leftys, and then when all the lefty players want a new lefty bass they will have to order them from EBMM. I'm going to increase the demand so high that we leftys will get first grabs on any new EBMM, the future 3 to 8 pickup models will come out first to the world of the lefty's, right handers will have to wait. BP himself will convert as well to bolster the new left world order and start what came natural to him and play lefty! Right handed basses will cost more and be very hard to find. New insults will emerge, like, "Hey what's wrong with you, are you some sort of right handed bass player or something?"




Nah, all it was, was a little surfing trip to eBay, seen a beautiful fretless, threw a bid out there and due to some sort of world wide computer glitch I WON!



Here are a couple of pictures of the back, does it look one piece to you guys?

I've been told that there are very few true one-piece bodies out there, Chuck, and it's hard to say about that one. When you get it, scrutinize the area around the strap button on the butt side of the body and we'll know for sure.

 

[Moondog]

It's either a 1-piece or an unbelievable match-up.
I'm betting it's a 1-piece from that 1st pic.

Especially with how it looks at the base of the neck.

I love the grain!

To tell if it's a one piece:

>>It's often difficult to tell....

It's easy really. Pick up the instrument and look at the body side on...on a level plane...where the rear strap button is. If it's a 2 or 3 piece, you'll see the grains run into (oppose) each other.

Looks good, though!

Very nice!!!

 

[TSanders]

If Ive ever thought a bass was one peice, it would be that one.

Dangit, whyd they waste that nice peice of wood on a lefty? Kidding Chuck.

 

[BOOST]

and to think i was gonna bid on this, but contemplating the fretless, good score chuck

 

[Dargin]

I believe most Sterlings are one piece bodies.

I believe most Sterlings are one piece bodies.

That's good to know....thanks for the info!

 

[Mahlon]

Good job Lefty Guns Ruggiero!

 

[bovinehost]

I believe most Sterlings are one piece bodies.

Well, there goes what tiny shred of credibility I had left.

Okay, well, now see, um.....maybe I was thinking about Stingrays?

 

[Psycho Ward]

Jack, I like you so much that I'll draw a thin line right down the middle.

 

[tkarter]

Congrats. on your taking our the backwards bass collectors assocatiates collection another notch to the left Chuck. That is a good looking piece of work for sure.

[shamus63]

I love the grain!

Agreed! Helluva shine on that finish, too!

 

[NorM]

I saw that on and thought of you. And not just because I was hoping for another pic of you with your " all natural" either. But(t) for other reasons too.

 

[Freddy-G.]

I believe most Sterlings are one piece bodies.

I never even thought to check mine. Probably is a one piece, since it also has a natural finish.

Congrats Chuck. You gonna string some rounds or flats on her?

 

[Dargin]

Look at the bottom strap button to see if it's a 1 piece.
