I found a new Copperhead SR5 that had been sitting in GC for (apparently) quite a while in Michigan (thanks to a post at TB). I've never seen one in person, but I really love (I think) these very different basses. Guitar Center staff assured me over the phone that it was "Pristine" and a great deal, so let's see what shows up later in the week- I'll keep you posted. I have a feeling I may need to get out my cleaning supplies and new Slinkys.

I can't wait to meet my blind date.

Pics asap if it's a looker.

BTW, would any one at EBMM know exactly how many of these were made? I've heard anywhere from a handful to about 100.
 
Yeah, I have to agree with BP and others. Honestly, I doubt I would have even given the bass, or this color a second look had it not been for the patinaed pickguard. To me it makes all the difference. Just the same, I appreciate all of your enthusiasm for the new bass. This is one of those "sneak it in the house" basses-who else could I tell but you?
 
We probably made somewhere around 100. They all went to GC as no independent ordered any. It was showed at the same show as MOG if I remember correctly.
 
Alright, whippersnappers- get me a pic of this black PG thing you got goin'! Let's break this thing wide open.

Here's bdgotoh's CHB SR. Looks really nice with the black pg imo.
 
I'm gonna sit on the fence and say I like them both... painful as it is! :D

The stock pg is undoubtably cool, however black is uber-sexy for when you want a different look. :)

ETA - that Sterling is WOW! I've been hunting for that pic for ageeees after seeing it the first time - so thanks for posting it midopa :D
 
Stock pg rocks... My first contact with a Sterling was a Copperhead Bronze in the Totowa, NJ GC!

I love the combo... :)
