That's a good price for a USA Sterling. EB isn't currently making lefty Sterlings.
The last lefty production was a couple of years ago and they retailed for $2400.
with only pearl blue and toolbox red color choices. Someone should grab this.

Yes they are. And thanks, but no congrats yet. Seems like GC only deals in lemons in my experience, but hopefully this will be a good one 8-)

Just received. So far, pretty dope. I adjusted the neck a tad (I like my necks impossibly straight), but i have yet to plug it in. Like the previous one I owned, it has an amazing neck and this one is in nearly new shape.
However, in true GC form, they forgot to send the hardshell case. :roll:
So that’s on the way to me.

Ha thanks Tim! And the color is so badass. I’d never seen a lefty with this paint job. I was half expecting it to be a refin, but it pretty much looks like it just came in from the factory

Great basses and a really great price. Always preferred them to 'Rays because of the comfy J-like neck and the 3 different PUP variations. My Sterling was my main gigging instrument 20 years ago(!).

That's a stunner! I've kinda given up on MM style instruments because that type of pickup just never works for me, but this one looks so perfect and in such an awesome finish that it's hard to resist!

It's entirely possible that that bass was one that I had Sweetwater commission for me a couple years ago.
But after nearly a year of waiting I cancelled the order, but saw it on their website some time after.

So, you're welcome? :lol:

Good news- I received my case. The bad news- I had to go to my previous address to pick it up because that’s where those Guitar Center IDIOTS sent it for some reason.
But, the case and the bass are dead mint. It’s in new condition and man what a value for the cash, considering what these things were going for new.
