    Exclamation I LOVE my wife look what she got me!

    Coming in tomorrow. This was a TOTAL surprise that my wife found. I've been really wanting a Pacific Blue Burst, because I'm a sucker for trans finishes. Thanks Robbie from ThePerfectBass.com for all of his help.

    You found a good one (wife AND bass!) My ex-wife would have never bought me a new bass! BTW, rosewood or maple board on your orange Sterling 5?

    Exact same setup as the PBB, just change the color to trans orange. I really love the maple necks. They just seem to have more bite, but that might just be in my head.

    It's Here!!!

    It's purely amazing! I mean it has the feel of my Rays, but the feel and weight of this bass is light! I mean my SR5 Blue Dawn weighs in at 11.7 pounds, and the Sterling 5 is only 10! It weighs less than either of my single H SR5's. I can't wait till this weekends gigs.

    Amazing - the acquisition story and the bass itself.

    Congrats, John, that's a beauty.
