what do you mean "re-ordered"??? What happened to the first order?

When's the Bongo getting ordered?

Unfortunately there were a few problems with the first bass, and some shipping damage. Massive shame. But anyway, I want to thank S&T UK, The Bass Merchant UK, and EBMM for sorting this out andf getting a brand new Sterling through quite quickly.

One fine bass! Ill get pics up soon. I need to get decent photos so may take some time.

Unfortunately no Bongo in my sights. I have a Big Al coming though, and a Ray 4 HH

Congrats Bro!

You already have PM back!

EBMM Sterling 5 HS is killer bass, I still play mine a lot!

 

[Movielife]

Thanks for the PM info.

It is a killer bass. This is much lighter!

Lighter than 4 kg?

Well, ...that's a score!

Looking forward to pics!

 

[Movielife]

Ah, im not sure of the weight. Its lighter than the previous one I had, by quite a lot. Id say its more around 9lbs or less...

Thanks! Id like to get my girlfriend to take 'professional' photos but that might take some time.

I had a Sterling 5 HH that weighed 9 pounds....sure kick myself for letting THAT one go.

Congrats on the new bass...but you no the rule...

no pics = no bass

Mine SL5HS is exactly 4 kilograms = 8.81849049 pounds

Just to compare with my new rx5HH, it's 4.3 kilograms = 9.47987727 pounds

Congrats but definitely...................NPNB

 

[Movielife]

Wow, Keko, they are both VERY light for the amount of elecs/wood etc involved.

You now have the best bass built, the sterling 5 HS, congrats. What color is it?

 

[Movielife]

I personally love vintage style colours....so everything I own is normally either some sort of sunburst/tobacco burst, white, or natural.

This particular bass is a Sterling 5 HS, Tobacco Burst, Black Plate, Chrome hardware and Chrome knobs, Rosewood board.

It looks like a vintage meets modern classic.

We're all anxious! Some cell phone pix before the professional????

 

[cellkirk74]

Another mystery bass? The rules are clear ...

 

[Movielife]

Basic dealer pic is attached

 

[keko]

Mmmm, ...nice wood grain!

Only Your first description doesn't match, ...You wrote "black knobs" and they are chrome plated, just as I thought!

 

[Movielife]

Ive no idea why I wrote black! I remember ordering chrome, as I much prefer it!

Anyway, definitely all chrome hardware.

 

[cellkirk74]

Oh, it's....

a bass!!! And a nice one too!

Congrats!!!

Besides the game changer, the Sterling 5 is the only EB-model I did not play to date.
