Lysdexia, you've definitely got some sweet gear! You sure have good taste. Welcome to the boards!

Haven't we met at some other place?

Tried to return your mail about the Sterling but it kept being rejected, chef!!

Welcome here as well.

Hi OBB - nice to see another friendly face

I got impatient waiting for the reply - not knowing there was a problem of course - and bought the white with matched headstock to satisfy the need.

I had a fair idea it would be an excellent instrument, but nothing really quite prepared me for it's quite delicious tone and slapability.

So many basses...so little time

I don't suppose you would know the sort of SR5 I should seek out bearing in my mind I'd really like a not very wide neck? I tried one out in SC Glasgow but the neck felt even wider than my Status Stealth and that's getting too problematic to play much these days.

Well I have very short fingers which is why I bought the Sterling back in 96. The SR5 is only a Sterling with the extra string and I adapted to that very quickly. The only bass I've come across with tighter string spacing is the OLP and an old Westfield thing. Now you've got your Sterling have a go at an SR5 again, or even a Bongo - same spacing and lovely neck.

I'll do just that when down at SC again next week.

The Bongo - that looks like a real challenge of a bass. Not the most obvious beauty initially, but the're kinkiness has been growing on me for sometime.

Mind you, maybe a second job might be just as useful...
