As said in the Kiesel thread, as much as I really like this bass, the money should go to a fretless 4 which is something I truly need. I like the Kiesel Vader line enough to jump on another one of those.

Great bass only a few months old. Save some cash and no wait required.

- Vader 5 lefty
- Trans red over alder
- Birdseye maple fingerboard over maple neck
- 34" scale 24 fret
- Passive soapbar pickups (V-B-T)
- Signed walnut cavity cover
- Dunlop Straploks
- Sadowsky style knobs fitted; originals included
- Fitted Kiesel rigid soft case (really nice)

A large group of photos are here:

The bass was $1400 out the door so I am asking:
$1250.

Happy to ship Free within CONUS only.

According to this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlHOizbf0OM, the bass comes with 60's, or 70's pickup routing... do you know which one yours was built as?

I think that only applies to jazz pickups. I'm not sure why that is listed as these are soapbar humbuckers. If that is an option, I went with the default routing locations. I don't remember there being a choice. Thanks for the question !

Forgot to include the video in my post - it's there now... In the video, they're both playing humbuckers, but they do mention the 60's and70's option....

Sorry for missing the question. Pickups are soapbars and there was no option for routing locations when I built it. If there were, I went with whatever the default was.

Traded with the great BillW for his Sterling. It's getting a complete refin from MJT, level crown and polish from Stephen at CEG and new pickup and electronics. It should be done in about 2 months. Can't wait ! Good to be home to a Sterling again. I've always thoroughly enjoyed playing a Sterling and it's been too long.
