Thanks for the spelling correction Sam...Sorry I have no pics, but it is just like the Stealth Bongos. Looks the same.

You can't get a 2 band Ray with piezo. Even if you could, they would never drop it in a sterling, unless your initials are T.L. or D.L.

Cool! I'm asking for one right away! ;)

Sorry, I couldn't resist - I saw that auction right after I was reading threads in the forum here! ;)

I remember when my Sterling was on order I checked on the delivery status with my dealer and found that my bass was "in buffing" and I thought - "How about that? MY bass is in buffing!" :cool:

I thought it was so cool that I wasn't just getting any bass from an entire production lot, but rather a singularly unique product that was being built just for me. That experience is what led me to think about the ability to request a modification to the electronics, expecting of course to pay a premium for such extra attention. In my case, remove and wire past the MID pot, rendering the MID flat.

Not to be misunderstood re: any disappointment with not having this option available to me - I take nothing away from EBMM. I still feel I have found a superior product from a very "enthusiast-driven" company and my next bass will definitely be an EBMM. And I appreciate all the great feedback and discussion around this topic here - thanks! :D

As someone once said, 'You can't always get what you want..."

But this is a good time to point out, yet again, how really cool it is to not only have these fabulous instruments, but the opportunity to interact with the people who make the instruments. When I first started coming here, we'd hear from Derek now and then and I thought, "Wow."

But look around. We have Kevin, Jon, Scott - and Big Poppa.

I'm telling you, don't try this with Fender.

Thanks again to the guys at SLO/Indio for taking the time to educate us.

Speaking of "you get what you need", Larry, I just forwarded you an email.

The "package" has been "ordered".
