I can't recall the name EB used for thier transparent neon green type color a few years back. While I've tried to avoid EBMMs, I'm really starting to think a Sterling would be a nice addition to the family, and that color with a rosewood board would make me a happy camper.
FWIW, I believe it is the color of the third bass of the middle row in the top picture at Bass Central's Sterling page [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].
C'mon Figgy, help me out here!
edit: there was one for sale here not too long ago, but it looks like that thread's been deleted.
 
here you go

Well I would say do a search but Ill save you the trouble.


Sterling has skinnier neck, smaller body, different electronics with a more variable EQ, ie: it has a 3 way coil splitting switch that allows the pickup to be wired in series/single coil/ or parallel. Whereas the stingray is always in parallel.

Stingray has larger neck, larger body. Some say it has a bit more bottom end than the Sterling.
 
Hey SoComSurfing, you wanted to know about this color bass wouldnt have anything to do with this guy or his bass, would it?:)

I mean i could be wrong but judging from your avatar and color choice i thought i may take a guess.
i actually love that color anyway and which i could have gotten my stingray in it.
even it roger from LTJ has nothing to do with it, those pictures show that trans green color really well.
 
:hiding:
NO!...well....nope...um...maybe...

...YES!!!

I've played Roger's a few times and fell in love with the color. I've never really had a desire for a MM, but the Sterling GAS is REALLY growing, no thanks to Roger and Figjam!
 
I've been desperate to own a Trans Green Stingray or Sterling with a maple board and white pickup/pickguard forever now...basically what Heinz the bass used to look like. I can't find one anywhere :(
