Very nice collection! Actually I do hate you

If you're going to sell that Sabre, make sure you mention it here.

Nice collection! MM fretlesses rock, and if I wasn't po from my recent buying spree I'd offer to buy yours before you even put it up for sale.

 

[Dees]

cool collection and of course I hate you

 

[dlloyd]

Man I do hate you!

That Sabre looks really nice, how come you don't play it?

 

[kilgore777]

Beautiful! You suck!

No piezo in the bunch.... you no like?

I also have a Cutlass from '83.... red though (built like a friggin' tank- ain't they?).

main reason i don't play it? i guess because it doesn't sound enough like a stingray!! i average 3-4 gigs a week and every time i try to work another bass into the rotation, i always go back to the stingray!! stingrays just seem to work best for me. i only use the cutlass on a couple of songs and as a back up. i may end up with a regular stingray strung BEAD, eventually. the sabre kicks ass, tho! it has the jazz spaced neck and i would really hate to sell it. i've tried a couple of times but i always ask for too much money hoping that nobody wants it that badly the fretless i actually bought mainly so i could put original EB electronics in the 20th anniv. i used to use it quite a bit at gigs but most of the time there is too much stage noise for me to hear well enough to play it as well as i'd like.

not a big fan of the piezo. almost bought one but the sticker price was too high. come to find out my friend went into the store and offered $650 and they accepted!!! guess i shoulda talked to a salesman i wish my cutlass was stock sweet bass, tho

no way man, sterlings are for girls!! they are nice basses but to me they just don't sound like stingrays. that's why i don't have a SR5. i've owned two but neither really sounded like stingrays. i think it is mostly due to the different electronics packages in these basses. the bongos look pretty cool. i could definately see one in my future.

I know what you mean
I'm not that big an I play a Sterling ! I had a Stingray and it was too big for me
I feel more comfertable with a Sterling... it's more whee whaa I can't explain it ... I Ifeel more free with it I can't jump around with a Stingray as I can with Sterling! no disrespect for all the Stingray lovers but I understand... if you wanna look more macho...: play a big Stingray
As for the sound... I had a Stingray ... I like the Sterling sound ...not that I Use the toggle switch that much.. (always set it at bridge(Stingray ) sound)
But for me its : comfertable playing above sound .... But hey ... that's just me !!

Respect ! and rock on !!!

also : I like the Sabre more than the Stingray its's more awquard bass than the other EB MM's + it's discontinued yeah !! Bongo and SUB's ... no comment sorry
My bass = The Sterling !!!! It's like a part of me !!!
