Here is my 1995 Sterling. I have stilll not changed the strings from the previous owner. I think they are years old Rotosound Swing 66 (red silks at both ends, no colored balls), and they give the bass a nice growl.
I've had this bass in pieces for quite some time but last night I got motivated and installed some DCBs and a darkglass tone capsule.

Finally got to play one of these at my local GC. I think it was the EHB1000. The roasted maple neck felt fantastic and these would def be on the shortlist if I ever picked up a fretted 34” again.
The EHB roasted maple necks are absolutely top tier. You could put them up against any boutique builder and they'll hold their own if not beat them in comfort and playability. I'm never disappointed when I pick this bass up.
This was a Precision body I bought here last month in the classifieds with a black pickguard and Dimarzio's. I like it a lot better with the tort. I put on my modified '64 Jazz neck that I put a ebony fingerboard on it in '78 with an extra fret. It has EMG passive Geezers, Fender high mass bridge and is strung with Elixer 40-95 strings. I used it at a duo jazz gig Thursday night and it sounded great and it plays amazing. It's been a long time since I've used a passive bass...

Nuevo golpeador para mi Sterling Ray 24
Sterlings are hot as hell, a girl I knew in the 90's had one and it sounded so good. Yours looks beautiful.
I just need a Stingray 5, P bass and something more modern, maybe a 2026 MTD Kingston Z. And maybe some more color variation

Did some tracking over the weekend. Fussed about with a few bases until the P. The P sat right in and was pretty much perfect straight in. I knew it would end with a good P. I should have just started there right.
Wow, this is the first time I've received a email notification for this thread since the upgrade... Never change TB, never change...
My New Ibanez....I got the BTB805MS and I'm running it through these two Peavy's.
