    Wouldn't that defeat the point of a 'classic' bass?

    thats what i mean! there was no pre EB 5 strings or sterlings as far as i know. so what im saying is go all the way man!

    no offense intended here by the way. just saying if you can, why the heck not?


    besides the obvious business end of it being that making a classic for every single make and model on musicman would obviously lower the demand on buying anything that is not classic which would lead people to buy the classic over the new, eventually that'd lead to stagnation, relying solely on old designs and no more innovation which sucks. that and the classic does add just that much more desire to people giving the lower tech basses ie single H 2 eqs a fair chance.

    i guess for the sensical reasons above im gonna just hope they offer seafoam green one day on non classic 2hs, that would blow me away or just wait till they offer a green on a 2h that i like as much as the old sherwood green, the seafoam and the trans teal and yes i know green basses dont sell well lol. ive been considering orange or yella but man i love my 3eq 4H too much to buy a new bass and to give it less attention

    Where is my classic sterling 5 ?

    I am ready to get in on the classic basses ,
    but I gotta wait . The sterling 5 rocks .
    The StingRay 5 classic is a step backwards
    with that giant slab and tiny logo !
    5 strings are in and the birds eye classics are the
    nicest instruments in the stores today .
    I like the darn sterling classic , play 5 string
    like a champ , and am gonna have wait it out
    for Sterling to pony up the real gem ,
    a classic sterling 5 !

    Who wants those Les Paul musicman basses ?
    And the big al needs a new heastock , bro .

    Amazing. You nailed it.
    bovinehost: Yes, I do agree with that, but if there's nothing wrong then there's nothing wrong.
    Beth: I would compare Bongo to Tommy Lee Jones. Bad a$$ and just hot in a weird way...
    cheezewiz: They should take their lace thongs off and play bass.

    I have to agree about the BA headstock. It needs to be more special?

    Gotta say, the BA headstock being a 'classic' normal design is what makes the bass IMO, it isnt too 'out there', its different, but you can tell its a Musicman even by looking at it.

    Agreed! I know a lot of people don't care for the headstock, but I dig it.

    The Big Al headstock needs to be pointy, to match the body :-)
