I picked up a new bass over the weekend, it was custom built for Eric Wilson ( Sublime ) in 2010 . It shares features/ specs from the new Classic series bass line from EB .Probably the biggest difference is it's HH equipped. It's finished in a custom Seafoam/Grey, Old school headstock logo,bridge mutes, glossy finished neck with 7.5 radius and small fret wire, MM logo neck joint plate, black pickup covers, oh yes three band eq, over the usual two band on the new classics. The case was probably a throw in at the factory, the badge inside it says" Limited Edition 2008" nice case just the same with all the usual case candy.

Custom Stingray SR4 HH

Sounds like a nice score getting an artists' bass.
But I know Sterling sure hates hearing of artists selling off their custom jobbers.

Actually, the fact is no money ever changed hands on this bass anywhere down the line, it was gifted from Eric to his guitar tech buddy ( a local Long Beach Goodfella) that has been doing work for him for years. The bass then came to me in a trade. I needed a bass and this will do fine for now. Although i've had SR basses in the past , I still enjoy the classic Fenders. I have my eye on a vintage tobacco sunburst Jazz bass right now.
Here is my Purple Pearl 2000 SR4H that is being replaced by the 2010 SR4HH cause I don't need two Rays (correction can't afford to keep two Rays) oh well, we'll see what comes along down the road.
I Probably should try and join the Stingray club, ha ha

glad you got to get this thing up on the web finally. those guys over at the other forum can be a little authoritarian. that is a sweet bass, hang on to it. Or at least let me know first if you are going to sell it!
Sure thing Boogie, I'm sure I'll figure out soon if it's a keeper or not , gonna play it at rehearsal and see if it works for me there. If I decide to let it go , it won't be for a trade this time around, it has some unique features so it won't go cheap. But I will let you know just the same.
My 2000 Purple Pearl just Sold today, I had a feeling it wouldn't take long. The kid who bought it seemed to appreciate what it was. He didn't even try and haggle with me.
