The Sterling 5 I had looked normal on me. Same with SR5s. With an SR5:

FTR, I'm 6' and right at 200 pounds, all of it solid muscle. (ahem)

Now with a Sterling 4:

Now I don't really CARE an awful lot about whether a bass looks bigger or smaller on me or what anyone else really thinks about a color or the size or whether or not Bongos look like alien spaceships, but in looking at these photos and considering it, I think the Sterling 4 does kind of make me look like a giant amongst men.....hey, maybe I should have kept that.

You have a couple of fabulous looking basses there - I see the candy red Bongo in the Sterling pic propped in the corner. BTW what colour was that Sterling - looks like Teal with metal flake :eek: :cool:

The red Bongo is behind me in the other photo, too. It's my security blanket. I do not leave home without the Candy Red Bongo. Bad things could happen to me. Must. Have. Red. Bongo.

The Sterling was a Sparkle Blue from way back when sparkles were being produced. Dave J (musicmannut) has it - or at least he had it after I did.

Yeah I see it now - my eyes must have been fixed on old Heinz!

Can't wait to see similar pics of the Reflex (with the Candy red in the background! BTW that CR Bongo's also one of my favourite basses ever shown on the forum).

I love those sparkles - I'm just hoping I don't bump into one of those new SBMM blue sparkles in person because I'm positive my wallet will be automatically lightened - and I need a Markbass - and a Reflex.....and a natural Classic Ray etc etc!
