So as I understand it, you can now order any four string bass with a thinner neck...

[Ostinato]

...Is that right? Like a Stingray with a Sterling-ish neck? So I can just go to the local dealer and order one like that? Because I think I would like one.

k thx bai

You should be able to do so during/after Summer NAMM.

 

[Big Poppa]

you can order a stingray slo starting after the nashville namm

Does that also apply in reverse? (e.g. Sterling with a Stingray neck?)

 

[Ostinato]

Well I'm excited now, that's really good news. If I rememer correctly the old company had this option available too so it's good to see it come back.

 

[Redblade]

This is so cool. I have wanted this for awhile. Will this be a permanent option? Man, I hope so because I doubt I can afford one right now.

nope. Sounds like there will be a Stringray SLO model introduced at NAMM. as far as I know that model is any stingray 4 offering w/ a sterling neck (HS, HH, H, HP, 2 band etc)

 

[Big Poppa]

yes phatty

Nice to see there's a separate thread for these!

Any ideas about availability in Europe and for how long the order window stays open?
I'm considering a lefty H in DD2...

Kewl, any idea on the string spacing, 17.5 or 19 MM?

It's a 4, so 19...

 

[GGK]

19 sounds neat, I may be wrong here but isn't the Sterling 4, 17.5 MM ?

 

[Musicfreak1988]

Nope... That's for the 5-strings. The 4-strings have 19mm.

The Ray has a 1 5/8" nut width, the Sterling has a 1 1/2" nut width.
