gas, so much gas........ the 30th anniversary fretless is gorgeous.
I'm seriously gassin' for one of those Sterling 5's in that new LE Brown Burst with a maple neck! I'm even down the with gold hardware on that bass! Once I find a super light one, I may have to trade the SR5. 
hi all, i am going to get a SR5,
but i still considering to get a H or SH or HH model....
But for me, H model is more look good for me....
I just wondering the sound is that not as good as HH or SH one?
Also for the output.
Also, is there new features for the new model in SR5 beside colors?
Since my local store not yet have the 2008 models, wondering have a wait or not..

SR 4's have Alnico pickups,
SR 5's have Ceramic pickups (but are changing to Alnico),
Sterlings have Ceramic pickups.

So a few weeks back, I landed a fretless Stingray 5.
Bass is alder body, a dark wine/burgundy color with bird's eye maple neck/head and pao ferro fretboard with inlay. Really beautiful instrument in amazing shape for its age. Found out from E.B. it was made in Oct. of 1993 and shipped to Manny's Music in NYC. (pretty nice start!).
Anyway, I got it for a steal off ebay, cleaned it up with a bunch of elbow grease and replaced the pickguard. Everything else is original...just cleaner. I did buy a new Musicman case for it (came without).
Have a peek!
Cheers!

Just wondering why some SR's and Sterlings have the figured maple necks and others don't? Was it only certain years or something?
Okay thanks, I always wondered about that. Some of them are really gorgeous while others don't have any figuring at all.
Wow thaats my basses twin brother. Well not really, its about 6 months younger, but trans red, alder, lined fretless. Thats one sweet bass eh!
You can find a pic of mine in this thread I think.
wait here it is.
mine came with the same plain black PG. I couldnt resist getting the abalone one. It was just such a fantastic bass the black seemed too plain. Well that and I wanted it to match my Ovation Magnum, which is a similar color scheme.
