New bass day - Sterling!

[stu42]

Check out the Welcome to the Ernie Ball Music Man Company page and watch the pictures - you'll see a Pearl Blue Stingray with an Abalone pickguard appear as one of the pictures - stunning!!

Congrats!!

Edit...okay...here it is

I think that might be Black Pearloid. It's hard to tell at that angle.

 

[bovinehost]

go abalone

 

[stu42]

Well...I still say it's Abalone...

But...there's also these pictures:

Wow! Nice! Thanks guys! I got the the pickguard I had for my jazz from WD Music. Is there a better place that anyone suggests?

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Oooh, nice pics guys!

Unfortunately, abalone is one of the more expensive ones like tort. I think EBMM sells them.

 

[Musicman Nut]

7.5 Wow!

Not Fair, lol

Congratulations

I think the black pickguard looks great on that.

 

[Chuck B]

Congrats on that beauty!
To me the black guard is cool enough...

Congrats on the Sterling - lovely bass.

To me also, the black guard is perfect - another alternative which may work well is plain white.

That's a thought too. Maybe what I need is a blue pickup cover to match the body.

Identical to my "Babe", except yours weighs a bunch less. Love the color, the playability, the neck, the sound! I also have considered an abalone pg, but the black with the blue just looks so cool. Congrats brutha!

That would be sista, but thanks. I do love the bass. It's just perfect.

7.5! that is nuts! My Bongo is 8.4 and I think that is a lightweight. My Sterling is 9. You my friend, found a special one! Congrats!

I was just lucky with this one since I was looking for a Sterling or Stingray and happened to find this one. I used it at band practice today and it was so nice to be able to play something and not feel like a ten ton weight was around my neck.
