Niiiiice...

My first EBMM was a Sterling too, it's an amazing bass. At one time I was up to four Musicman basses. My most difficult decision before I walked out the door, was to decide which bass to take with me...

You're gonna love that thang.

I prefer the Big Al Bass. But they do feature the same shape neck. I intend to own another Sterling at some point. The right one will come along.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the neck is amazing!! The tone is probably the best I've had, and I have had a lot of very nice basses.

I think people are scared of these for some reason. The non sterling models get more respect it seems. Not sure why, this thing is great!!

My all time favorite bass man... NOTHING does tonal diversity better. Once you have an idea which every switch position excels at... you can add to it with the EQ.

Love mine

I agree Tuna! It is the most versatile bass I have owned. Plays like a dream!

I have a Sterling H which I love but am wondering what other tones you get from the neck pickup?

...and yes these necks are crazy comfortable!

Thought that looked familiar! The most versatile 5 string out there. Still rocking my HH every chance I get.
