Hey EB/MM CAN I GET A STERLING SS?

[Auctopus]

I have a Sterling H, HS, and HH how about a SS? I know I can get an SS configuration out of my HS and HH but I want a true SS. The Big Al has SSS so why not tweek that a bit to a SS in a Sterling. Keep everything else the same (3-way switch = bridge, bridge&neck, and neck pups, volume, treb, mid, and low). Who's with me? Come on EB/MM what do you think?

 

[Auctopus]

Oh yeah, and I'll let you wire the pickups how ever you like....series/parallel

 

[melvin7822]

That would never happen as it would be too close to a jazz bass. I believe EBMM is about more innovation and less imitation.

 

[MSilvers]

Just get a Game-Changer, and you can SS all you like

 

[rizzo9247]

Outer coils on your HH/HS Done.

 

[Auctopus]

Yes and no to the similarities to a Jazz bass. 3way switch vs separte volumes (or a blend pot). With a switch your getting the p/u full on or off no blend and one could say the Big Al is like a Strat.

 

[bassmonkeee]

Yeah, it's not going to happen.

You mean something like this?

Looks great IMO

 

[fly]

that's the one i was thinking of.........other than the colour,i'd sooooo be all over that config.

 

[Auctopus]

Is that a real Sterling or photoshop? I wasn't thinking of 3 single coils like on a Big Al but I'd take that. I might just have to modify a HS into a SS. It might work.

 

[Rano Bass]

Is that a real Sterling or photoshop?

Thats an early prototype, IIRC.

 

[oddjob]

Thats an early prototype, IIRC.

yeap

SS Sterling? Why not a Big Al SSS?

 

[melvin7822]

I was waiting for someone to say that, because this thread seriously needs a pair of cement shoes and dropped at the bottom of a lake.

 

[Auctopus]

Why not a Big Al? Because I don't like the body shape of the Big Al at all, but sure I'd take its p/u configuration on a Sterling. For me the Sterling is where its at that's why I have three of them.

I love any Sterling but this takes the cake. I would name it "pink noise" and rock it out.

 

[bovinehost]

It's truly more horrifying in person.

 

[LisaIs]

Who owns that? Is it a prototype from back in the day?

Bovinehost, you know you like the Pink Noise in all her pinkness.

 

[LisaIs]

Ok, I see where Rano answered my prototype question.

 

[mynan]

I know I can get an SS configuration out of my HS and HH.

And there you go....
