Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
I sold the StingRay since it dwarfed me and have been watching out ever since for a Sterling. MM is the sound I crave. I have been playing my beat up Ib*n*z, which I have had since I was 16 until I get a Sterling. The thing is an '81 and I was the third owner. I want to retire it..... it is probably worth $18 by now, yea eighteen bucks. Pretty sad. I shouldn't slam it too hard. I was doing a little slap and pop on it in church just this morning and it sounded tight...... but it didn't sound like a MM.
What year did the Sterling bass come out?

BTW, I'd say this is Blue Dawn (I think) which is a sparkle finish.LisaIs said:
Really hope you can find one soon - you'll have to let me know how you get on with it as far as neck width and weight goes - need the fellow female opinion!

Are you playing a MM now? If so then which one. I will certainly tell you how the Sterling is for me. I am 5'2" and it may still be a little weighty (the weight is close to a SR) for my small frame but I will play rock it anyway.

I don't have one yet - currently play a Shine bass (this is where you call go, "who", but they make basses for certain other well known companies and this is their own brandLisaIs said:
)Hopefully will be getting one towards the end of the year as the saving has started.
It's nice to see you back
Ahhhhh man.... that blue dawn is to die for!!! (drooling...)
Thank God I have a S.O. to make me feel guilty about spending my money on
bass guitars, otherwise I would jump on that one!
But... as she would say: what do I need THAT one for?

I knew as soon as I bid on the white sparkle Sterling that another Sterling would show up but I had to do an early bid to make the "buy it now" option dissappear so no one else would slip in and grab it.
If I had that blue dawn I would put a clear pickguard on and let the sparkles shine.
Azzy Wazzy you are saving up for a worthy cause and may I commend you for saving up and not going in debt for a bass.

Hear Ghore .. thanks for the pics of black pup with white scratchies . . now I'm wondering . . white pearloid would look nice after all . . .
LisaIs .. the bass for sale isn't mine . . I just have a similar one .. .so no need for 'jerky' feelings.
The avatar pic is actually fretted - before I put the fretless neck on.
The pics don't really show the color as I see it when I open the case.
I want a see-thru pickguard now . . .

You can get a clear one here:

or here:

I like the idea of the clear acrylic too on some of these gorgeous finishes. Actually those of us who use fingers could do without a pickguard but then you would just have screw holes...... no wise cracks.
