Hi guys...I'm new to the forum, and I just wanted to share w/you pics of my Sterling bass (Pearl Blue finish) I just purchased. I had a Trans Red Stingray that was stolen in '97 and I have always wanted another one since! I've played many different basses over the years, including all price ranges, and these have always felt and sounded the best to my ears! Nothing beats that tight midrange punchy growl in the MM's, IMHO.
