Maybe you don't realize it, so I'll point out the obvious. Big Poppa is Sterling Ball, the guy that owns the company, so if he says it's a certain color, you don't need to ask anyone else.

Nobody would know better than Sterling. The guy kinda runs the joint.

Thanks, no, I didnt realize Big Poppa Owns/Runs the company. If Sterling Ball owns and runs the company, then who is Ernie Ball?

Sorry if I seem '' Dumb ' to all of these things, I just found about this website having a message board last week.
The only think I knew about Ernie Ball before coming to this forum, is that Ernie Ball makes the BEST bass guitars on the planet. ( StingRay )
*adowski wishes they sounded as good as a MusicMan

The funny thing is that my dad was never involved in Music Man...it was my baby from the start.

Well Mr. Ball, I love your babies, and Im going to Guitar Center and buying a '' Trans Teal '' StingRay 4 tomorrow. ( I dont think my Guitar Centers in Atlanta area have that color, I may have to '' order '' it
If I wanted a 2007 model, would it take a long time?
Current lead time is about 6 months I believe. You can call customer service and they may be able to locate one for you from a dealer. I was jonesin for a Bongo 5
HH in candy red once and they found exactly that for me. The dealer didn't have it long and it was in pristine condition

That's funny. That's rich! "Would it take a long time...." You guys SLAY me!
I love those innocent questions. Poor newbie has no idea.
This is a pic of BP giving a deep, satisfying belly laugh:
Six months. It's not all that long in the grand scheme of things, but when you're waiting for delivery you can practically hear the milliseconds go by...
tick...
tick......
tick.........
Quality takes time, that's all there is to it. The instruments are WORTH THE WAIT.

It may well be trans teal, but if so then that was some weird-ass stage lighting being used when those live photos were shot! If you look at trans teal on the EB colour chart then clearly this looks nothing like the colour in the photos you've been posting.
If you have to have the same colour that this dood owns, and the EB employees say he plays trans teal, then you'll be happy enough so no need to investigate further. If on the other hand you want the colour to look exactly like the one in these photos, then I'd suggest you opt for something else, as it actually looks closer to blue pearl or carbon blue pearl.
