Hey I’m looking at a mid 90s Sterling and wanted to hear from people on pluses and cons? I’ve owned an early 2000s Sterling and also a 2015 Stingray. I’m currently playing a Sterling by MM Ray24 and I just don’t love it. The EBMM Sterling that I’m looking at is priced at $750 and appears to be in pretty good shape. Thanks!

The Sterling Bass appeared in 1993, first ones with mutes at the bridge and countersunk neck-plate.
Deppending on the finish, ash or alder was used.
Not complete different from your 2000 one. Any pics?

Well, the dude changed his mind on selling it LOL so back to the drawing board.

This pic attached is not the actual bass but is the exact twin.
 
That's too bad, $750 is a steal. 20 years ago 90's Ray's or Sterlings were $700-$900 all day long.
I just picked up a 1993 closet queen Sterling and paid $1400 which is considered a good price these days.
Good luck on your hunt.
