Well it's official, I LOVE MY NEW STERLING 5

I especially like the HH config, because position with coils 1&4 give a nice boost for when I'm playing a part that needs to stand out in the mix. Very versatile.

I love that combo w/ 1 and 4 coils. Killer slap

Very nice bass! I'm planning on a Sterling 5 as my next bass!!

Do you feel that the neck is quicker?

Do you feel that the neck is quicker?

I just started another thread discussing the neck similiarities between the SR5 and the Sterling 5. I feel that the necks are almost identical, but that isn't necessarily a BAD thing. Both fast and clean!

Just caught it, thanks jlepre!

I love my SR5 so much I don't even care that it's a little weighty---I don't know exactly how much it weighs. I can only imagine how nice the weight is on a Sterling 5!!

My SR5's average around 11.3 pounds. My Sterling 5 is 10 pounds. Might not sound like a big differnece, but I can tell you it IS. Playing (3 ) 1 hour + sets can take a real toll on your shoulder.

My Singray 4HH is 11.5 lbs, My 20th Aniv. 5 H is 10 lbs. and my newest Stingray 5HH is only 9.35 lbs!!!!!! They all sound so damn good though. Usually the 20th comes w/ me all the time!
