Just came across this thread while researching my first bass. I have a Fender Squire Series Jazz bass that I bought new back in 1992. Just to add information to the thread, the body on mine is most definitely made of plywood, it is not by any means a slab of solid wood. Having said that, it is...

Don't disagree with that at all... But the buying public obviously doesn't want to move past 1950's technology..... So, if ya can't beat em' join em'.... Make what sells.

It's called doing what you have to do to keep your business profitable! Obviously the current market demands the same ol' classic instruments, so why wouldn't Sterling produce a stellar instrument to add to the offerings? Selling out?... Don't think so!

I'm sure there's a lot of things Sterling could do to give a lot of companies some trouble... bottom line is, the bottom line. He's got a company to run and keep profitable, and unless you're a successful business owner you won't understand that. He know's what's best for EBMM to stay in the...

Considering the 40th is a replica of a bass made by Leo (probably on that bench) for Sterling, I'd think they'll be ok with it... Pretty sure Leo would be ok with it!

It's a Canora... 1966 ish

Sadowski?... That was my first thought... Neck looks Sadowski-ish... Body is a bit off

I have a 30" scale I bought for my kids. For the price, they are exceptional!... I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. MM

I had someone go to a music store to pick up some replacement strings for my AB1. How old are these strings??... Did they sell me old stock from 15 years ago?? Or are these still in production? MM

I played one in a shop once..... Aaaaaaaaand, I brought it home with me. Couldn't put it down... Amazing instruments!

Damn that's nice!

Peavey T40... It's not right on the neck, but pretty damn close. Everyone should have a T40 anyways

The ashtray is just sitting on the body, there's no screws in the holes.... Ask for a picture of the head, I wouldn't even consider it without proof that it's MIA and a serial #... The control knobs scream "Squire" to me, but I'm no Fender expert

An original '83 Cutlass 1 is the reason I fell in love with Stingrays.. I don't have one, and will always be looking for one, but I do have a 2001 EBMM which I mated with a Status neck that is pretty fricken awesome! You wouldn't be dissapointed with the Status.
