Guarantee it wasn't the same! You can't touch this bass new for
anywhere near that price with ALL the options I listed. Or even used
for that much - prove me wrong and show me a store selling for that
cost - you can't. For starters - the Vintage Sunburst is a (expensive)
upgrade option. You obviously don't have that. Don't know what other
'exact' option matches you have (or not) but for $1100 I'm betting not
many.....
But thanks for the info anyway.

Funny thing, I just bought the very
same bass, same options (although mine is translucent red) NEW from a
music store for $1100. This wasn't a sale or anything, maybe you got
hosed when you bought yours.

I have a near mint Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling bass - Fretless!!
It has several custom options which were factory ordered including
Custom Vintage Sunburst color upgrade
Matching headstock option
Tortoise pickguard upgrade
Pau-ferro Inlaid lined fretless board upgrade
Side markers options
The above options alone cost close to $500!!!
Plus all the standard stuff (i..e Maple neck, 3 band Active EQ,
parallel/series/single coil pickup options, etc..)
The bass is in EXCELLENT condition save for one small nick at the top
of the headstock - Other than that - pretty much show ready!
I have never gigged with it, and the fretboard has literally only seen
a few hours of use from me. Original Case in good condition as well.
You won't find a bass like this - especially with all these
options!!!
The sound is AMAZING - Incredible tonal combinations with the active EQ
and pickup selection. The neck is slightly thiner than the stingray -
which makes it super, super fast to play! I always found the stingray
to be a little to wide for may hands - the Sterling is perfect!
If you've never played a fretless bass before - This is the one to try.
If you're not sure if you want a fretless - not to worry - the fret
lines (and dot markers!) are there as well to guide your finger
placement. It's the best of both worlds. Play it either as a fretless,
or as a fretted bass!
I can email detailed pics. I am on EBAY (jimkarl) so check out my
rating and feel secure buying from someone who has done over 600
positive transactions.
This Bass cost over $1800 new (and retails around $2200) - Will
sell for just about half that at $950 plus S&H&I (actual cost -
your choice of carriers/service) A plain vanilla Sterling - without ANY
of the options listed on mine - sells new for $1200.
This is a deal.
I take Personal checks, Money orders, Cashiers checks, Bidpay, and
Paypal (only the direct transfer type like from a checking account or
online funds - not setup to process credit cards though - maybe some
day:)
Look around the net - you won't find one with all these options - and
anything remotely close will cost AT LEAST $1200-$1300 used and
won't have all these options - I guarentee it!
For more info - contact me (Jim) at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I can provide my phone # if you'd like to talk in person as well.
YOU WILL LOVE THIS FACTORY CUSTOM BASS!!! You have to see the pictures
- Email me!
Jim.
