Wow. This thread is one of the coolest I have went through in a long time. Pretty cool to see a bass go from the design phase to reality.:)

Alz to get that you have to get the touring package...comes with a kleenex dispenser, cb radio and pilot relief tube.

WE try to keep the stuff balanced and light as possible. Basswood is you friend when it comes to weight. Ash is a love hate think....kind of a bigger the cushion...(spinal tap reference)

Aha!........what about a 21" speaker built in to the body powered by a flux capacitor on a back pack? I like your way of thinking BP.....

Thing is though.....I like heavy basses!!!! They make me smile when you run across the stage and accidentaly hit the singer in his head with the headstock!!!

ALZ I knew that behind that wall of anger and entltlement was a mammoth sense of humor.

The second most popular package is the towing package. It comes with over sized mirrors, back up camera, heavy duty shocks, black water toilet and patented minor 7th air horn

I like your way of thinking. This would be a good way to cue them that it's time for the guitar solo. :)

I played a bass 6 stringer today and it was totally out of balance - headstock heavy.
Very strange instrument to play - there again I'm no great shakes at playing bass so what do I know!!

You know it's SWEET

How many of these do you think you can put out in a year ?.Is there alot of major re-tooling or just a new code for the CAD/CAM & CNC machines . IMHO I think this could really kick the doors in for every day bass players wanting a 6-string axe in the arsenal...and not having to spend $3000-$4000 for a 6-string bass .I see myself grabbing at least 2 fretted & 1 frettless in the future if the price is in ratio to the normal price of a BONGO 4 & 5 ....And if they go the way of the SR Anniv. with no-pickguard..You'll get alot of those snooty bassists to step up .I know the church bass players in my area are justing praying for a bass like this...I know 2 major Warrior endorsers and on their homepages..they both have Stingrays in 4,5 & fretless...and they keep looking in on updates ..Everybody loves a Stingray ..and this bass is as close..feel & tone as they're going to get it seems to a Stingray-6....Great job BP & the gang

Will it be possible to get the same pickup switching system on the HH sterlings? I've never been a fan of blend controls. I usually either go all neck or all bridge.

also, any chance of offering figured tops?
