You should note that it was modded and isnt an authentic EBMM dual pup sterling.vene-nemesis said:

Oh you got me, i was hoping to get some comments about it!
but not like yours! For the first 30 minutes after seeing this, I thought about selling my G&L.
I just have to keep telling myself that I don't need one.
Will the double pickup models be able to go without a pickguard (because of routing) ? Excluding the SR5, of course.

Will they make the bridge pickup closer to the bridge now? I just asumed that the single pick up was in a comprimised place rather than a strict bridge position.
Also how many pots would a peizo model have?

Right now the MM pickup is in a "sweetspot" position between the neck and bridge. My guess is that it will stay there.

I wouldnt be so positive... or the newbies will have the smae pickup spacing as the double buck corvettes.

Nope... the Warwicks have 24 frets or something, they moved the neck pickup further away from the neck to allow for some slapping space, this isn't a problem with the Stingrays/SR5/Sterlings as shown in the pics. Just look at the modded Sterling, I predict the spacing would be somewhat closer to that.
While you guys are photoshopping, what about doing some crazy models? Just for S&G's...
Dual J...
P Pickup...
Upright...?
Headless?
Just a thought.

And for me, I have been thrilled with my Stingray. For some unknown reason, I feel no particular GAS for these new models...
... and I have to figure out where I can check one out and decide whether I want to trade/sell my Bongo for a dual hummer SR5 ash/maple setup.
i dont like the idea of that....just wont be a stingray IMO
lately ive been craving a stingray alot more than usual

Well, thats kinda the point isn't it? If someone wants something new and different, it's there.
If someone wants a Stingray, theres still a Ray.
I'm debating wether to go a HH Sterling, or used Streamer Stg II/Corvette LTD '02.
I may get a chance to play the SR5 prototype.
If so, I am so not telling you guys anything about it.

This was touched on over at the EB forums. Supposedly the dual hummers pulled on the string causing problems with string vibration when played after a certain point on the neck.
Excuse me. I have to go clean up my mess now.

Why would they want to reissue the Sabre?
I know there are devotees of the bass, but while they were in production, they sold about, what? Forty of them? So they tool up the whole plant and sell forty more?
The model was not a success. I'm not here to tell you there's anything wrong with Sabres from a player's standpoint, but from a business standpoint, I certainly wouldn't think to build them all over again.
Time marches on. I'm looking forward to the non-reissue dual pickup basses.
