Hello all, new Sterling, WOW!

[SterlingFan]

Haven't had a bass since the early '90's when band split up. My main bass back then was a white Sting Ray, sold it for almost nothing I am now the owner of a new '04 Desert Gold, rosewood fb. Sterling. Anyone know what the body wood is? Ash? One small problem, the plastic cap on the 3 way switch keeps falling off. Anyone else with that problem? What is the solution?

Welcome. And let me know if you decide to sell the Sterling for almost nothing. I'll give you bottom dollar!

If the body is a translucent finish where woodgrain shows it is most likely ash.
I believe the solid finish bodies are alder.

Super Glue for the switch cap.

99.9% of the basses(Not SUB's or Bongos) are ash.

While that may be true, only 17.54% of spots are made up on statistics!
