Hello

On the Sterling Web site, it is written :
2 March 2009 Open

They are late !

At least for the Australians, the Europeans, the Japaneses ...

 

[patpark]

its working for me now. still a lot of work to be done, but most of the basics are up and running.

 

[beej]

Yep ... works for me too. Nice site Pat.

 

[fbecir]

It works also in Europe ...
Nice site indeed. There are some typos (for instance Specsfication ...) or the ® is not working (on my screen I have "¢ç").
I think I will spend the next hour reading ...

Cheers

Thanks Guys!

Yes I also see many typos and corrections. Its a work in progress and will be tweaked in the next few days. In the meantime enjoy what you can see and please let us know how you like it.

Cool site Pat! Love the carousel effect with the guitars.

 

[patpark]

Pat,

Do you have any more info on the pickups? How do they compare to the stock pickups of the US EBMMs?

alnico 5 magnets, bridge buckers have hotter outputs, the AX40 measures around 15k, neck measures around 8k. we didn't try to match exactly the EBMM pickups but wanted something with good tone, felt good and were dynamic.

the JP50 uses a pair of ceramic magnet humbuckers and are on the hotter side.

I really like the look of the website! very cool !

just curious though, how come only the basses come in different colours? economics i guess?

we didn't want to introduce a whole bunch of sku's right away. just give some basic colors and keep the model # and color #'s down. Eventually we will introduce other guitar colors etc.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Pat!

Wow.....I was just looking at the Sterling Silhouette silo 20. It says in the specs that it has an asymetrical neck. Is this like the Axis neck?? Also....what's the weight on a silo 20?

(also noted Pete as the dealer....)

Nice website. Looks great.

Any chance the price list will be available in the next few days?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Jim, prices were posted in one of the other threads. The only one I remember off the top of my head is that street price on the Silo is $399, and the rest go up from there.


Yes, the neck on the Silo is asymmetrical just like the Axis!

Really curious to read reviews if anyone on the forum buys one of these...
