Considering they were released like two days ago I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Adouglas, it is at times like these that we have to stay focused, please read your own sig aloud 30 times and promise never to think Sterling 5 again. You are a Bongoloid, don't stray

Pricing?
Dimensions (e.g. width at nut)?
More photos?

Thanks.

Thanks, Pete! It plays like butta, I presume?!?

Thanks, Pete.

I was wondering how close the width was to the Bongo, and it's the same.

Worry not, people. I'm still a Bongoloid. But that's one purdy bass. I really like the proportions.

Sharon, it's fantastic!

I came back and played the Sterling 5 four times yesterday. There's a Blue Pearl example at NAMM that may be the nicest bass I've ever played. The body shape is perfect for me, and I've finally found a fiver neck that I'm completely comfortable with. I'm going to get one.

And another 1 on the list....


Seriously. I can't wait to try 1 out. The Sterling 4 I have is awesome. I don't expect the 5er will be any less.
Some goes for the Bongo 5 though. Really curious about that 1 as well. Never seen a Bongo. Never played one. That's the downside of living in Holland.
