Some in action shots

[TSanders]

I havent been posting much, but wanted to stop in. Been busy. Have a couple things keeping me really busy and am playing in a country band that is really picking up steam and big things seem to be coming. Working with some big names in Nashville, and look forward to the future.

Here are a couple good live shots. The StingRay 5 in Autumn Redburst is a very special bass to me. Its been my main player now for 5-6 years. The Medallion Gold Sterling 5 is a fairly new addition, and is a great bass. Maybe a keeper.




At Cowboys in Dothan, AL. A couple shots of this show aired on TLC's show Bama Belles. There was a shot of me and my SR5 for about 1 second, on national TV!

With Johnny Lee Carpenter on fiddle. Band/live manager and fiddle player for Tracy Byrd for 20+ years.

NOTICE if you can, the extra pack of strings in case of emergency!! Fanboi!! Out doing it, spreading the word everywhere I go.

Heres the 9(ish) pound Sterling 5. Yes I know the technique sucks. This series of pics led me to work on that. Actually lowering my bass 3-4 inches got me right where I need to be with my hand placement. This show in memory of DHJ.

love my autumn redburst Sterling too. Great color for my 70s R&B dance band, now all I need's a jumpsuit.

Thanks for the replies. Ive been putting some miles on the Sterling 5. Its pretty amazing. Its one of those thats just special. It is one of the most resonant and responsive basses Ive ever owned. The low B sounds like a 35"

Great pics!

Love Your Sterling!

I like US Country music very much, especially early in the morning when coming home from hard gig, I use to turn on my car mp3 player with compilation of favorites and when I hear Alan Jackson's "Drive" it becomes warm around my heart!

Nice pics, dude !
I only wish that american country musicians would tell their european colleagues, that country music does not necessarily has to be played in funny halloween cowboy costumes. ;-)

[bassguy411]

Nice looking bass! I wish I felt more comfy on a five , must be my little hands, oh well

The Sterling 5 is Medallion Gold. Not many Sterling 5s in that color. It does react to stage lights in an AWESOME way.

I know that guy!

Who me?

Wow, Lisa AND Scott. Feels like I took a trip back in time. Thanks for your responses, but even better to hear from you both! The Sterling 5 is a joy. A real winner.
