There was a sterling with 3 single coil pickups?

Learn something every day.

Yeah i think there was, i'm pretty sure there was a couple of photos of it up a while ago (brownie points if anybody can dig them up), it was something weird like that anyway.

This pic is from Gav's website, taken during the Open House I think. You can see where the idea for the S pickup on current HS models came from.

I doubt there would be any soundclips of that bass, given that it never made it out into the public and was given a bit of a redesign for production.

 

[Psychicpet]

that is still one hawwwwwt machine!

Kinda like a 4 stringed Strat.

And I wouldn't know what to do with the middle pup.

Love that look, interesting to hear what the tonal combinations would yield, hope to know soon.

Bongo

The BONGO makes me think of the Jetsons for some reason?

It kind of reminds me of an ocarina, for some reason.

Duck and cover with that bombshell. Wonder if we get the 3 pups AND the color!?!? I also seem to remember some talk of a passive EBMM bass... wonder if there is any connection

Just when I thought I was done buying basses for awhile....

A Sterling with a center pickup would be pretty darn awesome.
