Music Man instruments only please.
Working on a rowdy tune in our studio that needed some other bass thang besides our house 5 string J Bass with flats. Had my eye out for a Musicman 5 for a while, and always liked the vibe of the USA Sterling 5H. Low and behold, pretty minty one hanging up in a nearby store after a trade in a couple of hours previously. Plays and sounds killer, came with a hardshell case and no shipping needed. Price was very good as well. Trying it out now direct to our bass tracking rig.

This is my completely beat up 1988 Peach Fretless Stingray, it's got many hundreds of hours and shows behind it. I've cleaned it up and had the neck refinished, it's not as bad shape as this pic which was a few years ago. I also have a 2000 3 band Stingray, I prefer the 2 band but that's probably because I have more hours in the peach. No, not for sale, this is a future inheritance for my kiddo.
Cutouts were done by a famous bass player who previously owned this, the Humbucker in it now is the original. This thing sings.
