    Not a Sterling 5, but it will do...

    Well I was all set to send Pete a deposit this weekend for a Sterling 5, but I made the mistake of asking him about this particular bass he mentioned recently. I couldn't resist. She wasn't supposed to arrive until tommorrow, but thankfully I checked the UPS tracker around noon today and saw those three wonderful words "out for delivery". I told the boss I had to take care of a personal issue and raced home, hoping that I was going to arrive before the UPS guy. At around 2pm the doorbell rang and...





    The wife is in Chicago with the camera, but these are the pics that Pete took.

    Thanks Pete.

    Yeah, the top kinda sucks. This one's definitely a keeper.

    I think that top sucks about as much as mine does.

    Man, we need a club with a treehouse and a secret handshake and stuff.

    It still hasn't quite registered in my mind that she's mine. I'm at work and I keep looking at the pictures in amazement...then my head starts to spin when the thought hits me "Hey, that's my bass".

    I really liked my HoneyBurst (just sold her to help pay for the 20th), but it wierded me out when I saw the exact same bass in the exact same place that mine occupied on the wall at GC the day after I bought it.

    This one feels a little more special to me.
