You'd be part of the Sterling club!

edit: upon closer inspection, it's missing the 3-way switch. What is this bass?

 

[Epitaph04]

Probably a classic sterling.

 

[TheBass]

Seems to be a pre '95 model Sterling. It also features slab body, the classic 2 band EQ and the old bridge with foam mutes. Those were only used on the very early Sterling models.

That is a Sterling Classic in El Dorado Gold. They came in 2010 with 2-band, ceramic pickup and no switch.

Interesting. I wasn't aware there has been a late Sterling classic model.

Yes, at the first sight it looks indeed like an early Sterling. But they always had 4 knobs and the pickup selector switch. Thats why we love talkbass.

Anyone have a classic 5 in raspberry sorbet or el dorado gold for sale or can lead me to one ?

Beautiful! Black and Maple Stingray, truly a "classic"

Wish I could help. Both of those colours are pretty rare though, aren't they? I'd be very curious to see how many of each of their colours they ever produced. My SR5 is called True Gold and I haven't seen many other Stingrays with that colour.

Nice, a classic is on my list of basses to get. I am awaiting a new SR Special but it'll be a while yet before I get it, unfortunately. You've got quite a collection of basses, particularly of the Stingray style. What would you say is your favourite style of bass, if we were to generalize to such popular basses like P, J, Stingray, Rickenbacker, Ibanez SR series, etc...

Great question! 'Rays are currently my favorite. It's a culmination of things, but I just love em so much. Next to that, I like J's and P's... but I like out there stuff too... I like basses. Yes.

Looks a lot like my first new bass (coincidentally my first post on TB too)

Ah OK, nice. I've seen other exclusive Stingrays from them before but missed that fuscia sparkle. I think they had a white sparkle earlier this year that looked nice.

I sold my 2010 Classic 5 a year ago....wish I had not, but it was just to heavy for me
