New Pearl white Sterling Pickguard for sale

I ordered a Pearl White pickguard for the Sterling I had. It should be coming today from WD Music. I do not have the Sterling so I will not need it. I got it wholesale and will send it to you for $30 shipping included (in USA). (I will not take it out of the original shipping container). They sale it for about $51 I believe.
If no one wants it I will return it for refund. HOwever this is a decent price if you have checked them out.

Let me know,
Gary

While I loved it I could not get past all the growl. I was going to put a Bartolini MME in it but decided I could not do that to a brand new guitar no matter how attached I was to the looks, the build, quality, and the feel. I took it back to Guitar Center with the 30 day return policy and got a new Fender American Jazz in Sunset Orange.

The Jazz I got has an S-1 switch which puts the pickups in Series for a more P bass sound which I need for some of my stuff. I do not mind growl for the proper stuff that needs it but I could not control it out on the Sterling. With this Jazz, I can do both. I could not afford both basses, However...my next bass when I can afford it WILL be the Sterling. I loved that bass for what it did. I know it sounds crazy but I am strapped for money at the moment. One day I will have both.

the Sterling is definately a mean bass. I know what you're talking about re: the growl. i also have a jazz w/ an s1 switch and I used that for a bit but i eventually missed the sterling growl and grabbed the sterling off the rack
 
I think if you would of tried flats you might of kept the Sterling. I own an Inca Silver American Jazz and it rocks but my main basses are Music Man's. The main reason I keep around the Jazz is because It was my first nice bass and I just can't part with it.

Yes, flats would have helped, however I am trying my best to sware off them and learn to play with R/W's as I get tired of the dullish flatwound sound after a while. The D'Addario Chromes might have been a choice I guess.
Seriously, as soon as I can afford a second bass I want it to be a Sterling. I was very impressed by the quality, clarity, punch, and feel of the instrument.
It is a 1st class instrument but I can only afford one bass of this caliber at the moment and I am TIRED of settling for less than an EBMM or Fender American. And for what I am doing at the moment this Jazz with an S-1 Series Parallel switch fits the bill.

What type of flats are you using on your MM? I need to try some on my SR5. I want to check out the Sadowsky 5 string flats because they have a taper B. I am hung up on taper B's. The quality of the B string has always been better with a taper B in my opinion.


Love that Bass-
you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm sure you will love the Jazz Bass. I haven't had a chance to try one with the S-1 switch. It sounds pretty cool.
 
At the moment I don't have any flats on my MusicMan. I have flats on my Jazz and I'm really enjoying the sound. I have Chromes on the Jazz.

LoveThatBass... make sure you remember all the knowledge we laid on you so when you get another music man down the road we won't have to answer the same questions.

:D

I plan on frequenting this forum as I really like it and the basses so maybe I can stay on top of it. That is if you guys don't mind.

I wouldn't mind. You're always welcome here, as long as you don't start any threads raving about basses other than EBMMs. You do know we're Music Man fundamentalists, right? :p :D
 
The TI flats on my SR 5 still growl if I want them to. They don't do the upright sound at all no matter how I eq. For that I still go with my Jazz and Fender 9050 flats. If I got an upright for such things I would never get a Bongo LOL.

Sounds more like you been playing the same Fender flats to make a choice.

Well I could be wrong since I have never played a Sterling but have heard it is an SR 5 minus one string.

Any way the Jazz is good too. I remember some growl on mine with rounds. Just didn't growl like I liked.


IMHO
