Hey EB/MM CAN I GET A STERLING SS?

[keko]

I doubt that SS Sterling will be available ever!

Try to find something from EBMM regular offer to complete Your needs, from design, versatility, tone and pickup switching options!

Anyway, if I could decide for custom Music Man, my winner would be SHS bass with ceramic pickups (don't kill me now please ), of course H at the sweetspot and very close to each side of H one S pickup (bridge and neck)! All coils switching options (16), serial/parallel switch, active passive switch and EQ with parametric middle section, including bass & treble with fixed center frequencies! (4 knobs)
But that's probably too complicated for 90% of bass players!

Cheers!

You're all making things overcomplicated.

GameChanger will be the answer.

You're probably right!

Ok, I see where Rano answered my prototype question.

Yep, that one hangs in the vault.

I love whoever decided to make the prototype in hot pink. That was a bold choice.

Update since I originally started this thread in which many seemed to hate..sorry to those who did.

I have found that I really prefer a Sterling 4H over everything else.

I sold/traded my Sterling HS and HH locally to a guy for a couple of SUB Sterlings and $$$$.

As I play my single H basses I thought that if a Sterling were available in a SS model I'd definitely buy one but might not keep it.

And, the SSS configuration is perfect for the Big Al do to its body size and shape but wouldn't look right on a Sterling like the pink prototype one. It looks to crowded.

So EBMM if you ever do just keep it simple...

two single coil pickups (no slanted bridge p/u) wired in parallel with phantom coils
3-way switch (bridge/bridge+neck/neck)
volume + 3 band active EQ
And definitely that tear-shaped pick guard.

DONE
