On it's way Lovely Purple Sterling. Discontinued Colour?

[Asomodai]

Looks like its black.

Is it?

Woah!

nice

So yes, A lovely Sterling is on its way to me. The price? A cool £460 shipped to the UK.

This is my 2nd Musicman and i cant wait! Reasons i went with a sterling is my crumbling back (At 23 yeah i know!) And The need for a funky 4 string.

Is this colour a discontinued colour or Limited edition? Cant find it under Sterling on the site.

Rob.

PS. Pickguard idea, Transparant

Discontinued...and very nice, BTW.

I believe it was called Pearl Purple.

Recognise the name "budget bassist"?

It's amazing how many threads get duplicated on different forums

Beautiful!

I've got an '01 also (don't know it's birthday, though.)

(edited to show the matching headstock/ roadie)

The color is hard to capture, isn't it?

Looking forward to a report once it's in your hands!

Best Wishes

Love that purple, awesome color.
Why was it discontinued? Lack of popularity?

I think my GF would start playing bass if I got one like that. She loves purple. Nice find!
