I went to guitar center today, to see if they got any SR4 HH in stock yet, which they didn't. I did see on a wall a sterling HS, so I decided to give it a try. This thing rocked. I spent a little over an hour playing with it. The neck felt perfect to me. Looks like I'll be getting a HH sterling now.

I agree with you totally. I have a SUB and a SUB Sterling. (Bought 'em used after the line got discontinued.) I like the Sterling neck much better now that I've played both of them for a while. You know 10 minutes at GC can't compare to hours of practicing. So I'm really happy I ordered a Sterling rather than a Stingray so I'm in your camp. To each his own...

There are a lot of Sterling HS fans here but the HH Sterling is the one for me.
Well, I'll actually have two when the DDs come out but you know what I mean...

Really? Cool. Do you remember where he said that and why? I'm curious.

Why does BP continue to play those nasty Bongos?

Bongos, on the other hand, sound best in the single H format. Pretty ironic...

Sterlings are the way to go.

Good choice...
I came close to a Stingray too - that's what was in stock in a config that worked for me - but I kept going back to the Sterling...
That's the one that feels perfect to me!

I was actually at GC today as well, was looking at GK cabs, found a vintage sunburst SR4 HH and fell in love. THEN I saw a shop worn Bongo 4 HH for under $800, almost walked with that.
whow! you lucky people...such a prices - such a variety to choose from!
ive been in USA once, for 30 days, i just love that place!

I got the same reaction as you. Draganr.
If I would see a Bongo HH for 800$ I'd buy it no matter the color or bankaccount status.
I saw BP's movie where he shows of the Sterling the other day.
I always thought them to be a Stingray-light version but after seeing that clip and this thread I am going to check one out this weekend.
I really love a stingrays unplugged sound, If a a sterling comes close then I want one.

What stoped you from buying it?, thats pretty cheap.
what stopped him? when you see such of opportunity every day you become used to it and not seeing it as a life chance, i guess...

I played a Sterling HS at a GC too, and the TONES were so killer.
Deep, clear, top end ring, or growl. Awesome.
But I need a fiver, and cash. Someday, a SR5 HS ....(or Sterling5 HS????)
