    BP, just now getting around to commenting. Thanks so much for sharing. Sort of a video blog based on what you have shared in the past. I loved the roundtable with each player getting a bit of playing input. I love the tone of the 2 band you have there, that is what started my love of them way back when. I am certainly in line for a new one come NAMM this year!

    Thanks again!
    You can never have too many balls!

    Great video. Interesting words, as always but the sound of those basses..........

    That 2 band retro StingRay has got a great sound and the playing is real nice as well. As BP said - one trick pony it most certainly isn't.

    Most of us know Tony Levin can play. A lot of people are finding out Dave Marotta is right up there with the best. Jennifer Young, while new, has kind of been on the rise lately, which she certainly deserves.

    I know how good Sterling is. What's fun for me is watching so many others step back and go, "Whoa. I thought he was just the owner!"

    And Sterling always brings new insight to the table. Great videos!

    Wow, this video is the best piece of marketing i have ever seen, even if it wasn't explicitly intended to be it. The second i saw the bass BP has i immediately wanted a Classic series and after hearing it play i wanted it even more. I just wish Steve's Music in Montreal wasn't so poor at getting in good basses so i could play and eventually buy one.

    I really enjoy watching Sterling talk about the industry. He really has seen this industry change alot over the last 40 years.

    He knows how to keep things moving. Saturday at BPL the first roundtable was alot of fun and could have gone on much longer. Sterling does have chops and canplay his way around the fretboard. Maybe I'll twist his arm and see about a NAMM jam at the booth.

    Wow, Here in France, we' ve got a spécial way to describe such a great musical moment:
    "ça joue" (that could be translated by : great sound, playing, grooving).

    Thanks so much for that clip BP !

    Listening to Jennifer Young took me back some 40 years to the first time I heard Billy Sheehan (Waaaaaaay before he was Mr. Big) practicing this technique at a place here in Buffalo called the Music Mall. Listening to Billy play like that was the first time I realized the bass player could do much more than just hold down the bottom end and that changed my approach to the bass forever more! I think this video may affect some of the younger players in the same way! Great bunch of players!
    Kudos Sterling for sharing this video (Love to hear young kids groove!) and providing such a great Forum. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to get my Guitar Center Card out of the freezer and see if this new fangled technology can read through 2” of ice so I can come home with one of them new fangled Trans White Classics!
