Hello,

Guess it's time to stop lurking and join in the fun...

So here's a question: Any idea when the Sterling 5 will be available?

Its on the schedule for Anaheim NAMM 2007. WE have more ideas than we have production capacity so we are trying to catch up.


Okay, I'll ask the obvious question. When do we get to see the prototype? :D

Leave him alone! We're already talking Aug/Sept delivery time on basses ordered now! He's busy! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Shoot, looks like I'm gonna have to dig up some deposit money a lot sooner than I can afford to.

We are in September. We're expecting more big orders, so if you're on the line for a Limited Edition, 20th Sil, or 30th SR now's the time to order. Don't miss the window!!!!

Forgive me if this is written up elsewhere (I haven't seen it...) but...

How will a Sterling 5 differ from the SR5 -- given that the SR5 has Sterling electronics. Different body shape, neck shape? New electronics not in the SR5?

thanks!

Downsized body from the SR5. Maybe a different shape - more like a Sterling 4? I don't know. Electronics? Can't say I know. There is so much I don't know.

But Dargin's busy, too! Feel free to bother him after I get my red Bongo, though.

I'm hoping...

I'm hoping it will be just that. A sterling with 5 strings. I love sterlings... the size, the shape, the thinner neck, the back-mounted controls. It sounds like my mouth will be watering for awhile!

Me too, I love everything about sterlings. I want that tone in a 5 string :) Single pickup, coil switching, the works.

i fully support the 2007 timeframe for the intro of the Sterling 5 - it looks like im moving to a smaller place soon and there's no way in hell i can fit all my guitar cases in the new pad so ive got some things to figure out. Im assuming Ill have some sort of loft or whatnot built and ready to use in a year :)

2007?

Gives me time to show my wife that I'm a good boy who deserves the best toys.

I am hoping this will be substantially different from the current production SR5.

Hmmm.... HS, black pg, medallion gold or trans teal, maple board, MHS...
