Well i've had these for a couple weeks now but i've been too lazy to post pics. The pics that I have aren't so great but they're the best I have for now.The first is a 2006 Pearl Redburst SR4HH made for Long & McQuades 50th Anniversary.There were only 50 of these made(25 w/Rosewood and 25 w/Maple). There are so many sounds in the SR4HH it's unbelievable. If I could have only one bass it would have to be a SR4HH...........I think this one has finally found a home





The second is a SUB Sterling(D.O.B. Unknown). The SUB Sterling is a seriously good bass.I traded away my other Sterling and bought this one from EBAY the same day to help to ease the pain.Anyone that tells you that a SUB is anything but a full fledged EBMM needs to get smacked. I love this thing........

Glad you are liking the Stingray Randy. For some reason that one never felt quite right too me. Enjoy in good health.
I think that might have to do with the flats that were on it. Don't get me wrong I like flats but the tension was just so low I don't that I don't think the strings had enough room to ring out enough. A set of rounds,a small truss rod adjustment and lowering the pickups a little bit really brought this bass alive......

And a black pearl PG for the SUB Sterling should be there shortly, sir!

Mucho Thanks to you and Azzy for that Jack!

I couldn't agree more. I think the next one I will go for will be the SR5HH.

Nigel Tufnel might suggest "It's like one lowerer, isn't it?"

:D
Yup, it's great!

Color question...
pearl redburst looks kinda like a non-trans. BCB. at least in these pics.
is that a correct assessment?

It is indeed non-trans. To my eyes it is a cross betwwen Burnt Apple and Black Cherry Burst with a little Purple thrown in..

I actually tried multiple string sets on it, never felt comfortable.
