In Chicago. Went to my favorite GC...Arlington Heights Rd. No Sterlings, no Sterling5s, 1 SR5...the blue one w/ the gold hardware, 8 SRs...5 of which were Classics. Oh, and 1 SR5 Classic. I'm sad.

I personally think it's great EB are selling so many basses. The Classics aren't really my thing either but I'm happy they are keeping the company strong.

I agree. And the Classics look great. My local GC, Grand Rapids, is the same way...a few SRs, an SR5, and maybe a Sterling that's been the store for a few years. So I was looking forward to trying a Sterling5, or maybe even a Reflex or Big Al, while in Chicago. I'm not leaving until tomorrow night, so maybe I'll give the Cicero Ave. and Roosevelt Rd. stores a call in the morning and see what they have.

It's exactly the opposite here. Classics are about as common as unicorns. How 'bout sending some of 'em up here?

You missed the big al then. It was over in another area. That's the gc closE to where I work, so I go there often.

Unbelievable. Not sure how I missed it. I did a full sweep of the floor because they moved the basses since the last time I was there...even expressed my disappointment to a salesman and he didn't mention it.

I just talked to the Roosevelt Rd. and Cicero Ave. stores and asked what 5ers they had. Roosevelt Rd. has 2 Classic SR5s and a 25th. Cicero Ave. has 2 Classic SR5s and an SR5.

It also happens to be one of the lightest Alder Big Al 4's I've seen. Just under 9 lbs.
