There's Medallion Gold in them thar hills!

[MingusBASS]

So there's a ridiculous thread on that other forum about beating a dead horse and the Sterling by Music Man branding and everything else that makes your head want to explode. That being said, I'm glad I took the time to read, because I just scored a freak'n sweet deal on a brand new Medallion Gold Sterling 5(RW/Non Matching/Single H). I can't talk about the price but there's more sweet Sterling 5 deals out there if any of my fellow knuckleheads should peruse the GC/MF website.

I have been looking for a backup for my Ray 5, been curious about the Sterling 5 and I've always loved Medallion Gold. It should be a pretty rare combo as MG has now been discontinued.

I'll most certainly be back with pics when it arrives.

dude ive been considering a sterling 5. can u send me a link? or PM me if you wanna keep it under wraps

 

[MingusBASS]

Pm sent, but here's the link:
Sterling 5 at Guitar Center. | Search Results

Looks like they have a single H graphite pearl with maple fb, single H graphite pearl with rosewood and a HH graphite pearl with rosewood. All Sterling 5 and all at a killer price.

Sweet score! I was half tempted to pick that one up too.

 

[phatduckk]

i was eying one just like it but w/ maple FB on ebay. im glad i saw this one pop up. I prefer maple, but with a price like that I couldnt say "no"

 

[MingusBASS]

They may have more than one of them, but I know that they only had one MG left.

I have a Medallion Gold Sterling! It's my favorite color EVER! I'm hardly waiting for pics!!!

WOW that is a great deal wish they had some skinny string stuff like that, congrats on a great score.

Just an FYI I was at the central Dallas GC today and the had three SR, not sure wether they were 4 or 5, two were in the new true gold color and one was olive gold, these colors rule in person and the also had one of those limited basses, not sure what the color is called, maybe elctric blue, that has the gold hardware.

Oh man, I couldn't resist - I ordered the single remaining Graphite Pearl / RW single H.

^@#%^*@!!! Now I need to sell some stuff.

I love Talk Bass...would someone tell them that I think it is a stupid name too?

 

[MingusBASS]

Oh there have been people that tried to tell them that, but a few still "aren't buying it".

Yeah. I tried that. Quietly and without any fanfare or fanboi stuff, but the signal to noise ratio on that thread is not good at all.

On the other hand, aside from some severely rotating assh0les, a lot of people are looking forward to giving the SbMM instruments a go.

As am I!

BTW, you guys REALLY scored on those Sterling 5s. Graphite pearl with rosewood board? Well YEAH. I've yet to even play one! Color me jealous.

[Big Poppa]

At least they are talking about us.......

 

[Sonnyonbass]

Indeed.
And soon everybody is all over those new basses and most will dig them.
It's always like that.

 

[Big Poppa]

Change is a threatening agent...it comes with the territory..Reember the uproar over the JP F1? crazy talk and most of the most vocal have and love the new one

 

[Sonnyonbass]

I actually like change.
No change.... No progress....

Otherwise we would still be in the stoneage.

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered my Graphite Pearl Sterling5 HH (rosewood) the other day. I don't know how I am going to pay it off, but I remembered my favorite two words: Tax Return

 

[bovinehost]

Well, I called the TB thread a crapfest and it went bye-bye.
