Description

MusicMan Sterling 4HS in Pacific Blue Burst from 2007. Made in USA, not to be confused with the stupidly named Sterling series of Far-East manufactured instruments. EBMM instruments are consistently excellently made, as you know.

I took this on a trade last year, it's a beast of a thing, but I'm mostly playing a Vigier these days and my right hand is used to the narrow string spacing at the bridge now, the Fender-sized bridge spacing on this is just too wide for my tastes. The nut is 38mm, like a Jazz bass which, I think we can all agree, is the choice of the truly discerning bassist.

Superb range of tones available between the pickup switching and 3-band EQ. Position 4 is a particular favourite.

Pics are indicative of condition. It's in great shape, very well set up and plays suberbly. Comes with EBMM hard case.

Lowballers, please don't bother.

I'm based in South Tipperary. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hi, are you looking for a straight sale, or do you have any interest in trades? I have 2 Warwick bases and a Fender Jag I'm considering letting go.

@langvaduz: Hi, thanks for the offer, but I traded a 91 Streamer Stage I for this. I just like narrow string spacing at the bridge these days. The only thing I'd really be interested in is a Vigier Passion IV

Any sound clips? It's very difficult to find ones in YouTube. Thanks

@lesclaypool: Hi, I don't have anything recorded myself yet but will look do something soon enough.

In the meantime, I found these. The lad is a bit unrealistic with the extreme EQ settings but it gives an idea of the effect of the different pickup combinations
