Considering they were released like two days ago I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Adouglas, it is at times like these that we have to stay focused, please read your own sig aloud 30 times and promise never to think Sterling 5 again. You are a Bongoloid, don't stray

Pricing?
Dimensions (e.g. width at nut)?
More photos?

Thanks.

Call your EBMM dealer on Monday and they should be able to place an order for you.

Thanks, Pete! It plays like butta, I presume?!?

Thanks, Pete.

I was wondering how close the width was to the Bongo, and it's the same.

Worry not, people. I'm still a Bongoloid. But that's one purdy bass. I really like the proportions.

Sharon, it's fantastic!

I came back and played the Sterling 5 four times yesterday. There's a Blue Pearl example at NAMM that may be the nicest bass I've ever played. The body shape is perfect for me, and I've finally found a fiver neck that I'm completely comfortable with. I'm going to get one.

And another 1 on the list....


Seriously. I can't wait to try 1 out. The Sterling 4 I have is awesome. I don't expect the 5er will be any less.
Some goes for the Bongo 5 though. Really curious about that 1 as well. Never seen a Bongo. Never played one. That's the downside of living in Holland.
