I'm really excited about the Classic Sterling

[Duarte]

I've been thinking about it quite a lot.

I reckon that because:

a) It has ceramic magnets
b) It is wired in series
c) It has the 2 band EQ

that this could be one of the most aggressive sounding basses out there. Ceramic magnets are subjectively labelled as 'more aggressive', series wiring gives an output and low-mid boost, and the 2 band EQ is unique (possibly fatter sounding - according to general opinions)

I'm very eager to try one out. Has anyone here played one? Or if Poppa could enlighten us that would be awesome.

Oh, and in Powder Blue especially, they're beautiful.

The series only setting is interesting. Gives the Classic Sterling a more unique character other than a smaller Stingray.

Actually, the Stingray has alnico magnets and the Sterling has ceramic magnets. Sooooooo..... that's a good excuse to get one of each. I'm starting with the alnico 5 (see sig ).
